Semiconductor
A semiconductor is a material whose electrical properties can be significantly influenced by physical factors (mostly electrical conditions, but also pressure, temperature etc). This means that a semiconductor will behave either as an insulator or a conductor of electricity, depending on the conditions to which it is exposed. They are a fundamental component of electronic devices. Because of their ability to respond to external conditions, semiconductors are commonly used in sensor systems.

Series
Electrical components that are connected in an unbranched line is said to be “in series,” as opposed to “in parallel” or “in shunt.” If anyone of the components in a series circuit was to fail, the circuit would be broken and no electricity would flow.

Set Point
The control amount serves as the target for feedback control. The abbreviation is SP. If the setpoint is input with key operations or communications, it’s called the local SP. If the setpoint is input with an external analog signal, it’s called the remote SP.
