Integral control
Integral control is used to eliminate the steady state error and any future process changes.
Itwillaccumulatesetpointandprocess(load)changesbycontinuingtoadjusttheoutput
untiltheerroriseliminated.Smallvaluesofintegralterm(I-timeinseconds)providequick
compensation, but increase overshoot. Usually, the integral term is set to a maximum

Derivative control
Thecontrolactsontheslope(rateofchange)oftheprocessvalue,therebyminimizing
overshoot. It provides “rate” feedback, resulting in more damping. High derivative gains
can increase the rising time and settling time. It is difficult to realize in practice because
differentiation leads to “noisy” signals.

Damping time
The response to a step input change reaches approximately 90 percent of its final value
within the damping time.
