Derivative Operation (D)
Proportional operation and integral operation both make corrections with re-
spect to the control results, so there is inevitably a response delay. Derivative
operation
compensates for that drawback. In response to a sudden disturbance
it delivers a large operation amount and rapidly restores the original status. A
correction is executed with the operation amount made proportional to the in-
cline (derivative coefficient) caused by the deviation.
The
strength of the derivative operation is indicated by the derivative time, which
is
the time required for the derivative operation amount
to reach the same level
as the proportional operation amount with respect to the step deviation, as
shown in the following illustration. The longer the derivative time, the stronger
the correction by the derivative operation will be.

PID Operation
PID operation combines proportional operation (P), integral operation (I), and
