← TechnologyWhich behavior arises when a PID controller's integral term excessively accumulates error in a robotic arm?
A)Overshooting target position considerably✓
B)Oscillating violently around setpoint
C)Becoming unresponsive to position changes
D)Drifting steadily away from the setpoint
💡 Explanation
When the integral term accumulates too much error via integral windup, the PID controller commands an excessive correction because negative feedback lags; this large, stored value causes a significant overshoot of the target position, leading to instability. Therefore, overshooting is the consequence, rather than oscillation, unresponsiveness, or drift, which involve derivative or proportional gain errors.
