Proportional-Integral-Derivative Control

Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) Control is a method used to keep systems, like temperature or speed, stable and accurate. It adjusts the control input based on three factors: the current error (proportional), past errors summed over time (integral), and the rate at which the error is changing (derivative). This combination allows the system to respond quickly, minimize steady mistakes, and avoid overshoot or oscillations. PID control is widely used in industry to maintain desired conditions efficiently and smoothly.
