What is PID?

Underdamped

Underdamped control can result in overshooting of the target, which leads to an oscillating motion. Notice that the proportional gain (P) value is set very high in this example. This high proportional control amplifies the error signal and results in an oscillating motion because it's providing more direct feedback into the system. Move the integral (I) slider around to see how it oscillates even faster, as the I term is responsible for accumulating error over time.
