MODULE S
A process liquid level needs to be held within 150 ft in a large tank. A pressure transmitter monitors the
liquid's level using a pressure reading and sends the result to a controller. The controller opens/closes an
inflow/outflow pipe depending on the liquid level. Keeping in mind c the given scenario, schematically
represent the control system and match the terms: (5)
