Question 1 of 2066636eee28f7522a1c51e778

Control system diagrams use standard symbols to describe the component function required for the system to achieve its intended control functions. Standard symbols are used to allow engineers to describe the logic and component functions. Define the function of symbol "I" as shown in the illustration. Illustration GS-0180

🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of comparison symbols like < and > in control system logic diagrams • How a signal selector works when multiple input signals are present • Difference between high select and low select functions in process control

💭 Think About

• If a block has a < sign inside, what does that tell you about whether it prefers the larger or smaller of two inputs? • Which of the answer choices clearly relates to choosing between signals, rather than performing math operations like summing, integrating, or subtracting? • Look at symbol "J" in the illustration; how might its > symbol relate to the function of symbol "I" with <?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options describe a selector (choosing one of several signals) versus a processor that mathematically modifies a single signal. • Be sure you associate < with choosing the lower value and > with choosing the higher value when comparing two numbers. • Confirm that an integral or difference processor would normally use symbols related to calculus (∫) or subtraction (−), not simple comparison operators.
