Which outcome occurs when a PID controller's integral windup is not properly managed in a hydraulic servo system?

A)Overshooting and oscillatory behavior
B)Complete system shutdown due to instability
C)Valve stiction from prolonged saturation
D)Loss of actuator force due to overheating

💡 Explanation

When integral windup occurs in a PID controller, the integral term accumulates excessively due to saturation, causing overshooting and oscillatory behavior as the system struggles to reach the setpoint. Therefore oscillatory behavior results, rather than shutdown, stiction, or force loss which require different trigger conditions.
