Glossary
relative dielectric constant
the ability of a dielectric to store electrical potential energy under the influence of an electric
field. This is measured by the ratio of the capacitance of a condenser with the material as
dielectric to its capacitance with vacuum as dielectric. The value is usually given relative to a
vacuum /dry air: the relative dielectric constant of air is 1.
repeatability
the closeness of agreement among repeated measurements of the same variable under the
same conditions.
saturation
a condition in which any further change of input no longer results in a change of output. For
example, "the loop-current will saturate to 3.8 or 20.5 if the level exceeds the Range settings"
solid-state device
a device whose function is performed by semi-conductors or the use of otherwise completely
static components such as resistors and capacitors.
status byte
standardized code returned by a PROFIBUS slave on every bus scan, along with the main
process variable (output of the Analog Input Function Block).
stillpipe
a grounded metal tube with openings.
