Which outcome occurs when a PID controller's integral term accumulates excessively in a chemical reactor temperature control loop?

💡 Explanation

When the integral term accumulates excessively, integral windup occurs because controller's output saturates, leading to a large stored error. Therefore overshoot beyond the setpoint results, rather than oscillations or offset, which typically occur with poorly tuned proportional or derivative gains, or a delayed response.
