The panel of outside design professionals provides a perspective fromthe practical design side in addition to the academic perspective provided by the courseinstructors.

)B. Proportional-Integral ModeThe integral mode adjusts the controller output to reduce the error. If the error is large, theintegral mode changes the controller output fast. The speed of the integral action is set by thecontroller’s integral time Ti. A small integral time makes integral action fast. To compare theproportional-integral control response, we set up two different RSET_min such as 0.25 and 0.10.It is noted that RSET_min refers to the integral time (i.e., Ti). For example, the RSET_min is0.25, which means that the integral time is for 15 seconds (i.e., 0.25 × 60 sec). Similarly,RSET_min of 0.10 corresponds to integral times of 6 seconds.
