Definitions for "Deadband"
The difference between the setpoint and the reset point, normally expressed in units of the actuating variable. Sometimes referred to as differential.
The difference between actuation and deactuation points of the electrical contacts of a pressure switch.
The difference in pressure between the actuation and deactuation setpoints. it is also known as the differential.
In process control, a range in which an input signal may be varied, without initiating a change in output signal.
The range through which an input can be changed without causing an observable response.
The temperature range in which no heating or cooling is used.
A zone around the offset of a force-feedback axis at which a condition is not active.
in a feedback device, it is a zone where a small motion will not be represented by a change in the output, it is an increment of motion smaller than the resolution of the encoder, for example. It is more formally referred to as hysteresis.
Deadband is the engineering term that describes the amount of servo position error that the servo amplifier must exceed before the amplifier will send current to drive the motor to close the position error. Some in the hobby use the term to describe to the distance one can move a transmitter stick before the servo begins to travel in reaction to it. Report this Word See also: Exponential Added by: w8ye
