🔍 Key Concepts

• Automatic flow controller basic parts: sensor, controller, final control element (valve) • Difference between error, gain, feedback, bias/offset in control systems • How the controller changes its output when the error signal gets larger

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which term describes how much stronger the controller output becomes for a given amount of error? • Which option refers to the multiplying factor applied to the error signal, not a constant shift up/down? • Which terms (from the choices) are about adding a constant value or sending the signal back, rather than scaling its size?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which term in the choices is commonly defined as a multiplication factor in control theory. • Separate terms that mean a constant adjustment (shift) from those that change the proportional response. • Confirm that the term you pick is the one that links error size directly to the valve controller output strength.
