Preview Questions Automation Engineer | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How should an Automation Engineer address the challenge of tuning a PID controller in an industrial control system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By using a fixed, generic PID setting without customization for the application

By ignoring system disturbances and keeping the controller settings constant

By adjusting the proportional, integral, and derivative values to minimize error and achieve stable performance

By focusing solely on the proportional term to achieve faster responses

Question 2: What is the primary cause of inconsistent results in an automated testing process?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Sensor calibration errors

Poor system design

Lack of proper operator training

Outdated control system software

Question 3: How does the implementation of digital twins contribute to process improvement in manufacturing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It increases complexity without providing significant benefits

It eliminates the need for actual data collection from the physical system

It focuses only on aesthetic improvements and not operational performance

It provides a virtual model of the system to simulate and optimize performance before physical implementation

Question 4: How can system integration tools help with process improvement in automation systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By reducing the need for process documentation and monitoring

By ignoring compatibility issues and assuming that systems will work together

By enabling seamless communication between different subsystems, allowing for better coordination and optimization

By making the system more complex and increasing the chances of errors

Question 5: In process improvement, how does implementing JIT (Just-in-Time) impact production efficiency?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By improving employee training

By increasing inventory storage capacity

By automating material delivery

By reducing material waste and stock levels

Question 6: What is the main purpose of applying Lean principles in automation processes?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To increase the number of workers required

To increase product diversity

To reduce the number of automation systems used

To eliminate waste and improve efficiency
