Proportional Band (PB) - is the 
percentage of the range of the 
measured variable for which a 
proportional controller will produce 
a 100 % change in its output.

Gain - is the ratio of output change 
(%) over the measured variable 
change (%) that caused it.

Reset2 
RESET (Integral Time) - adjusts the 
controller’s output according to both 
the size of the deviation (SP-PV) 
and the time it lasts. The amount of 
corrective action depends on the 
value of Gain. 
The reset adjustment is measured 
as how many times proportional 
action is repeated per minute 
(
Repeats/minute) or how many 
minutes before one repeat of the 
proportional action occurs 
(
Minutes/repeat).

RATE action, in minutes affects the 
controller’s output whenever the 
deviation is changing; and affects it 
more when the deviation is 
changing faster.
