The difference between the set point in an automatic controller and the steady-state value of the measured parameter is called ___________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Automatic controller set point vs process variable (measured value) • Meaning of steady-state in control systems • Definitions of offset, gain, dead band, and feedback in basic control theory

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When a system has settled and is no longer changing, what do we call the remaining difference (if any) between the target value and the actual measured value? • Which of the terms in the choices specifically describes a small, persistent error that remains even after the system has reached steady operation? • Which terms describe how strongly the controller responds, a range where it does not respond, or the path of information back to the controller?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the definition: "difference between set point and steady-state measured value" with the standard control-systems vocabulary. • Eliminate any choice that refers to how much the controller amplifies a signal (gain) or the path by which the output is returned to the input (feedback). • Verify which term in basic process control describes a persistent steady-state error rather than a region of no response (dead band) or overall sensitivity (gain).
