PI Controller

Introduction

Lesson
PID 04

Objectives

Purposes
To compare the characteristics of the P, I and D controllers with reference to their capability to compensate the error signal and to their speed of intervention
To find the best use conditions of the PI, PD and PID controllers
To compare the parallel and series configurations for the PI, PD and PID controllers
To analyze the response of the PI controller to a step signal, and to highlight its dependence on the input signal, the proportional gain KP, the coefficient of the integral action KI and the adopted configuration
