The SANS GISCPIndustrial Control System (ICS) - answerA device or set of devices that managed
commands directs or regulates the behaviour or other devices or system, bridges cyber
to physical, a device that can influence the real world
Relays - answerAn electrically operated switch. Complicated to configure cumbersome
and expensive
Pneumatics - answerThe technique of using gases for power transmission.
Control Loops - answercalculating and controlling an environment or process based on
feedback.
Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) - answera control loop feedback mechanism
(controller) widely used in industrial control systems. Calculates an error value as the
difference between a measured process variable and a desired setpoint.
Proportional - answerThe PID value that produces an output value that is proportional to
the current error value. The proportional response can be adjusted by multiplying the
error by a constant Kp, called the proportional gain constant.
Integral - answerThe PID value that is proportional to both the magnitude of the error
and the duration of the error. In a PID controller, it is the sum of the instantaneous error
over time and gives the accumulated offset that should have been corrected previously.
The accumulated error is then multiplied by the integral gain (K_i) and added to the
controller output.
Derivative - answerThis PID value in the process error is calculated by determining the
slope of the error over time and multiplying this rate of change by the derivative gain Kd.
The magnitude of the contribution of the derivative term to the overall control action is
termed the gain.
Fuzzy Logic - answerThe degrees of truth, Truth Value between 0 and 1 for various
factors. Values used to determine final operation
Devices - answerActuate things in order to process Stuff
Distributed Control System (DCS) - answerRefers to a control system of a process plant
and industrial process wherein control elements are not only located in central location
(like the brain) but are also distributed throughout the system with each component sub-
,system controlled by one or more controllers so the intelligence is distributed across the
sections of the plant. Follows hierarchy in its control philosophy with various function
spread across . Is a computerized control system used to automate processes in
various industries.
