Proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) controllers are an important technological development that in the past hundred years has become an industrial commodity and an integral part of a host of manufactured laboratory equipment. However, the bulk of the literature available concerning PID control systems is heavily biased toward industrial or engineering applications and theoretical mathematical treatments. The object of this chapter is to review the simple theory of the PID algorithm ...
