The temperature to which a thermostat is set for desired comfort level.
The temperature range, relative humidity, pressure or other condition desired in a conditioned space.
An input variable that sets the desired value of the controlled variable. The set point may set manually or automatically. Also, the position at which the control point setting mechanism is set. This is the same as the desired value of the controlled.
A variable, expressed in the same units as the measurement, which sets either the desired target for a controller, or the condition at which alarms or safety interlocks are to be energized.
The temperature or pressure at which a controller is set with the expectation that this will be a nominal value depending on the range of the controller.
The point at which the desired value of the controlled variable is set.
The pressure at which the regulator or relief valve is set to control.
The temperature to which a thermostat is set to result in a desired heated space temperature.
A general term for the level at which negative feedback tries to maintain stability. An example is the setting of a thermostat. See also setpoint hypothesis.
A desired process condition, usually a desired pressure, flow, level, or temperature
Setpoint is the target value that an automatic control system, for example PID controller, will aim to reach. For example a temperature setpoint in a boiler control system.
