Proportional Band
With proportional band, the controller output is proportional to the error or a change in
measurement (depending on the controller).
(controller output) = (error)*100/(proportional band)
With a proportional controller offset (deviation from set-point) is present. Increasing the
controller gain will make the loop go unstable. Integral action was included in controllers
to eliminate this offset.
Integral
With integral action, the controller output is proportional to the amount of time the error is
present. Integral action eliminates offset.
CONTROLLER OUTPUT = (1/INTEGRAL) (Integral of) e(t) d(t)

Integral
action has eliminated the offset. The response is somewhat oscillatory and can be
stabilized some by adding derivative action. (Graphic courtesy of ExperTune Loop
Simulator.)
Integral action gives the controller a large gain at low frequencies that results in
eliminating offset and "beating down" load disturbances. The controller phase starts out at
-90 degrees and increases to near 0 degrees at the break frequency. This additional phase
lag is what you give up by adding integral action. Derivative action adds phase lead and is
used to compensate for the lag introduced by integral action.
Derivative
With derivative action, the controller output is proportional to the rate of change of the
measurement or error. The controller output is calculated by the rate of change of the
measurement with time.
