🔍 Key Concepts

• Setpoint vs. measured value in automatic control systems • How controllers decide when to react to small changes • Common control terms: deviation, error, dead band, bias

💭 Think About

• Which term describes a small zone where the controller intentionally does nothing, even if the measurement moves slightly? • Which terms are more about the difference in value (numerical amount) rather than the zone of inaction? • In a flow controller, why might it be desirable to ignore tiny fluctuations around the setpoint?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option specifically refers to a neutral zone / insensitive range around the setpoint. • Separate the terms that mean numerical difference (between setpoint and actual value) from the term that means no-response range. • Ask: which term is commonly used to prevent hunting or oscillation by ignoring small changes?
