Definition
value expression which is a prescribed value that a process parameter should have at a particular time point or during a particular time interval of some planned process
Explanatory Notes
The setpoint represents the value of a physical condition that a control system aims to achieve and maintain. The set point is used by the control system as a reference for comparison against the actual measured value of the process parameter. Specifically, a control system performs regulation by actuating one or more final control devices to modify process parameters, thereby driving the process variable toward the set point. Representation of this control behavior will be included in a future version of the ontology
Examples
- for a residential dwelling temperature control process, the set point might be 72 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 68 degrees Fahrenheit during the day; 250 rpm as the setpoint for agitation speed in a formulation tank; 20 minutes as the setpoint for residence time in the protein purification chromatography step
Synonyms
- process parameter target value
- setpoint
Primitive Class
This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.
Primitive Rationale
There are insufficient constructs to create necessary and sufficient conditions.
Formal Axioms
First-Order Logic Axioms
SetpointValueExpression(x) → ValueExpression(x) ∧ ∃y (ProcessParameterSpecification(y) ∧ continuantPartOfAtAllTimes(x, y))
Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms
if x is a ‘setpoint value expression’ then x is a ‘value expression’ and x is a ‘continuant part of at all times’ some ‘process parameter specification’
