is the integration or floating time. It is the time that expires until the controller
output has run through the entire correcting range.
Characteristics
A purely I controller completely eliminates the effects of disturbances. It thus has a
favourable static behaviour. Because of its finite correcting speed, it works more
slowly than a P controller and tends to oscillation. It is hence dynamically relatively
unfavourable.
Superimposing the P and I fractions:
