Control & Feedback

Integral Control

A control action based on accumulated error over time rather than only the current deviation. In a discrete approximation, each contribution depends on the sample interval as well as error. Integral action can address persistent offsets in suitable systems, but it also introduces state and requires attention to limits and stability.
