P controller
Application in integrating systems
(e.g. closed tank, batch processes).
PI controller
Application in non-integrating systems
(e.g. drains).
PID controller
The additional derivative action compensates for measurement
peaks.

Deviation
Neutral zone (Y=0)
Tolerated deviation from setpoint.
The setting “1pH”, for example, permits a deviation of ± 0.5 pH
from the desired value without activating the controller.
