This article is about setpoints in control theory. For other uses, see Set point.

Setpoint is the target value that an automatic control system, for example PID controller, will aim to reach. For example, a boiler control system might have a temperature setpoint, that is a temperature the control system aims to attain. In some control devices setpoints have units of k-ohm.
