G-5
R
ramp
The total (transient plus steady-state) time response resulting from a sudden 
increase in the rate of change from zero to some finite value of input 
stimulus.
reentrant execution
Mode in which calls to multiple instances of a function can execute in 
parallel with distinct and separate data storage.
S
s
Seconds.
setpoint (SP)
An input variable that sets the desired value of the controlled process 
variable.
span
The algebraic difference between the upper and lower range values.
T
time constant (T)
In process instrumentation, the value T (in minutes) in an exponential 
response term, A exp (–t/T), or in one of the transform factors, such as 
1+sT.
trapezoidal integration
A numerical integration in which the current value and the previous value 
are used to calculate the addition of the current value to the integral value.
V
V
Volts.
W
windup area
The time during which the controller output is saturated at the maximum or 
minimum value. The integral action of a simple PID controller continues to 
increase (wind up) while the controller is in the windup area.
