DUAL ZONE MICROPROCESSOR BASED TEMPERATURE /PROCESS CONTROL
Context :
Sensor Rate of Change: Select OFF, 1 to 4000 °F, °C, or
counts per 1 second period. This value is usually set to be
slightly greater than the fastest process response expected
during a 1 second period, but measured for at least 2
seconds. If the process is faster than this setting, the SEn1
bAd error message will appear. The outputs will then be
turned off. This function can be used to detect a runaway
condition, or speed up detection of an open thermocouple.

rate of change
Here's one example of rate-of-change in this sort of usage, taken from GDT:

This authoritative Electropedia entry gives a different term 'à dérivée', which correctly reflects what rate-of-change is all about, i.e. the derivative of some dimension — although I do not believe this term could be used in the present context:
http://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&iev...
Rate of change is often expressed as the derivative of some quantity — a commonly encountered example being dV/dT — the rate of change of voltage with time, or indeed, in some fields, of velocity — i.e. acceleration!

@ Asker: Yes, of course! In ANY context, that's what 'rate-of-change' means — it's a standard mathematical concept that applies across many disciplines.
It's a quite specific usage of 'rate' in EN that does not exactly mirror FR 'taux' in all contexts; likewise, FR 'taux' cannot invariably be simplistically translated as 'rate' in EN.

| In the context of the document I'm translating, the term "speed/vitesse" makes much more sense. |

Ah, but we mustn't be too slavishly literal —the mathematical principle is exactly the same!
