Proportional plus Integral plus Derivative (PID) Control
Use derivative (rate) control to minimize the overshoot in a PI-controlled
system. Derivative (rate) adjusts the output based on the rate of change in the
temperature or process value. Used more with slow, lagging loads.
View or change derivative or rate with Derivative or Rate (PID Group). To only
view the derivative control value use Derivative Term (PID Group).
