Controller Response with Increased P Term
Increasing the P term to 1 while holding the I term at 0 yields:
P = 1
I = 0

The controller responds much faster, however some overshoot occurs.
Controller Response with Increased I Term
Reducing the P term to 0 and increasing the I term to 5 yields:
P = 0
I = 5

Figure 19: Controller Response with Increased I Term
The response of the controller is quick, yet no overshoot occurs. This combination of P term and
I term yields the best control for our example system.
