← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a PID controller's integral term accumulates excessively in a chemical reactor temperature control loop?
A)Overshoot beyond the setpoint temperature✓
B)Oscillations around the desired temperature
C)Permanent offset from the setpoint temperature
D)Delayed response to temperature changes
💡 Explanation
When the integral term accumulates excessively, integral windup occurs because controller's output saturates, leading to a large stored error. Therefore overshoot beyond the setpoint results, rather than oscillations or offset, which typically occur with poorly tuned proportional or derivative gains, or a delayed response.
