PI Controller
PI Controller
where ǻ is the error or deviation of actual measured value (c ) from the set-point (c).

A PI controller can be modelled easily in software such as Simulink using a "flow chart" box
involving Laplace operators:
where
= = proportional gain
/ IJ = = integral gain
Setting a value for is often a trade off between decreasing overshoot and increasing settling
time.
The lack of derivative action may make the system more steady in the steady state in the case of
noisy data. This is because derivative action is more sensitive to higher-frequency terms in the
inputs.
Without derivative action, a PI-controlled system is less responsive to real (non-noise) and
relatively fast alterations in state and so the system will be slower to reach setpoint and slower to
respond to perturbations than a well-tuned PID system may be.
