Project Planning Manual
SIPART DR20
The dead zone element provides the controller with a progressive response; the gain is small or
even zero in the case of small negative deviations, the defined Kp is reached with large negative
deviations.
The factory setting of A is 0. A setting must be made for three-position step controllers
(see page 89).
