Neutral zone
For modulating control actuators, note the control characteristic for the selected switch-
on point of the setpoint.
The diagram shows the setting characteristics by including the neutral zone. The values
for the neutral zone listed in the diagram apply to DC 0...10 V (without characteristic
function).

The diagram shows the relationship between the differential voltage E = Y – U
(difference between setpoint Y and actual value U) and the rotary direction, including
hysteresis and neutral zone.
For DC 0...35 V (with characteristic function) the following values apply:
