offset

Definition

The appropriate product category Temperature Controllers: The proportional action causes an error in the process value due to the heat capacity of the controlled object and the capacity of the heater. The result is a small discrepancy between the process value and the set value in stable operation. This error is called the offset. It may exist above or below the set value.
