Across
- 6. The difference between the value of a control point and its corresponding setpoint.

- 9. The range between two setpoints in which no control action takes place.
- 11. A signal that has a continuous range of possible values between two points.
- 14. A device that accepts a control signal and causes a mechanical motion.
- 18. A control algorithm in which the output is determined by the sum of the offset over time.
- 19. A control strategy that makes system adjustments necessary to maintain a control point above a certain value.
- 20. A supervisory control strategy in which the date and time are used to determine the desired operation of a load or system.

Down
- 1. The desired value to be maintained by a system.
