Figure 6 shows the graphic response of a Proportional/<br />
Integral (PI) <strong>Controller</strong>. The high integral gain<br />
dominates the response (see line with diamond<br />
shapes).<br />
With a tuned proportional and integral gain, the system<br />
does settle to its Setpoint, which is why PI control is<br />
adequate in many systems. The disadvantage is the<br />
time required for it to settle (t = 3), which brings us to<br />
<strong>PID</strong> control.<br />
