ohjaustiedon

Ohjaustieto is a Finnish term used in engineering, information technology and automation to describe information that directs the behavior of a system. It is formed from ohjaus (guidance, control) and tieto (information). The form ohjaustiedon is the genitive singular, used when referring to “of the guidance information.” The base term is ohjaustieto.

In practice, ohjaustieto comprises input data, parameters, or commands that a control system uses to determine an action. It can include setpoints, thresholds, configuration values, rule-based inputs, or sensor readings that guide the system's response. In robotics and process control, ohjaustieto is the data that the controller uses to compute actuator commands.

Examples include the desired temperature in a heating system, a speed command in a motor controller, or a policy parameter in an access-control system. In software development and IT operations, configuration data or API parameters may serve as ohjaustieto, directing how applications behave or how resources are allocated.

In Finnish technical literature, the term is used to discuss how information drives automated decisions, how data flows through control architectures, and how changes in ohjaustieto propagate through a system. In English-language contexts, it is often translated as control information or instruction data, depending on the domain.
