The problem is in the controller's PID tuning, which is
tuned to be too sluggish.

All of the loop's control components work properly:
- the transmitter reports the process variable
- the controller responds to an error (albeit too sluggishly)
- the control valve responds to the controller's output, as
evidenced by switching to manual mode

The PV response as reported by the transmitter depends on
the controller's appropriate response to error. If the
controller's response to error is sluggish, then the loop's
PV response will be sluggish.

Manual mode offers a means of overriding the PID's
calculated output value and driving the output to where it
needs to be.

This question qualifies as one of the best interview
questions I've read on this site. I'll be sure to use
this question when I interview candidates.

I have installed a RTD whose length is 2250mm(RTD stem length), but it's upper 200 -250mm is out of the reactor, and this upper 200mm stem is surrounded by atmospheric temp. And the lower portion i.e. 2000mm is in contact with the measuring fluid, then does the final measuring temp. Gonna change as the upper 200mm RTD stem is out of reactor?
