Subject to the limits the PID controller output is given by
output = error x [P + I/s + Ds/(0.064s + 1)]
Where:
error = reference - feedback
P = proportional gain = Pr 14.10
I = integral gain = Pr 14.11
D = differential gain = Pr 14.12
Therefore with an error of 100% and P = 1.000 the output produced by the proportional term is 100%. With an error of 100% and I = 1.000 the output
produced by the integral term will increase linearly by 100% every second. With an error that is increasing by 100% per second and D = 1.000 the
output produced by the D term will be 100%.
This parameter defines the time taken for the reference input to ramp from 0 to 100.0% following a 0 to 100% step change in input.
