Question

A temperature controller is a device that is used to control temperature. It does this by first measuring the temperature (process variable), it then compares it to the desired value (set value). The difference between these values is known as the error (Deviation). Temperature controllers use this error to decide how much heating or cooling is required

This output signal is known as the (manipulated value) and is normally connected to a heater, control valve, fan or some other "final control element" which actually injects or removes heat from the process.
