Proportional Integral (PI) Controller
Proportional Integral controller sometimes also known as proportional
plus integral (PI) controllers. It is a type of controller formed by
combining proportional and integral control action. Thus it is named as
PI controller.
In the proportional-integral controller, the control action of both
proportional, as well as the integral controller, is utilized. This
combination of two different controllers produces a more efficient
controller which eliminates the disadvantages associated with each one
of them.
In this case, the control signal shows proportionality with both the error
signal as well as with integral of the error signal. Mathematical
representation of proportional plus integral controller is given as:
