What does derivative time do?

The time required when the derivative changes by a specific amount to obtain the same manipulated variable as for the proportional action when using only a derivative action. The longer the derivative time is, the stronger the derivative action will be.

What is derivative time in PID?

More properly, a derivative describes the slope or the rate of change of a signal trace at a particular point in time. Accordingly, the derivative term in the PID equation above considers how fast, or the rate at which, error (or PV as we discuss next) is changing at the current moment.

What is integral time and derivative time?

The correct terms are time integral (I) and time derivative (D) or derivative with respect to time. P represents the measurement of error. I represents the time integral of P; D is the derivative of P with respect to time. PID refers to corrections made to a process in order to stabilize it.

What does derivative action do in PID?

The derivative action in the PID control is a very primitive form of estimator that adds one estimated state variable to the measured variable that is used for SISO control.
