outputs to position a final control element? Correct Ans - Analog
What is a Process? Correct Ans - A system being measured and
controlled.
A control valve is considered to be which element in a process? Correct
Ans - Final control element
, A control loop that uses float switches to turn a pump on and off is referred
to as which type of control? Correct Ans - Discrete
