The operation of a proportional controller leads to a process deviation known as offset.
Proportional Controller
A type of feedback control system that outputs a control signal proportional to the error signal, which is the difference between the desired and actual system states.
Process Deviation
Process Deviation refers to the difference between the measured process variable and its desired setpoint, indicating the need for corrective action by the control system.
Offset
An offset refers to a deviation or displacement from a reference point or value, commonly used in contexts ranging from programming (memory addresses) to mechanical systems (alignment).

Final Answer :
True
Explanation :
A proportional controller can only reduce the deviation from the setpoint but cannot completely eliminate it, resulting in a steady-state error or offset.
