4(b) With neat diagram illustrate the working of Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (FRL) unit in a pneumatic system.
5 M
4(c) Explain with neat sketch working principle of DC motor
5 M

5(a) With schematic representation explain the mechatronic system typically used in robot for firefighting application (typically highlight the selection of motor, sensors and switches. Also discuss their interfacing.
10 M
5(b) Describe possible speed control strategies of A.C> Induction motors.
5 M
5(c) Write a short note on servo amplifier for DC motors.

6(a) A process control system illustrate in figure 1 is used to fill the bottle and convey the same. The outlet valve is opened to fill the bottle as when the limit switch senses the presence of the bottle and is closed automatically when the photo sensor produces the signal as when the bottle is filled. The level of water in the tank is maintained through a control valve. Develop a PLC ladder logic diagram for this control application.
