Proportional, Integral and Derivative Gain

Proportional, Integral and Derivative Gain

These tables allow mapping of the PID system, which controls the responsiveness of the Closed Loop Idle Control system. For information on how to tune PID systems, see the PID User's Guide.

Proportional Gain



In simple terms the Proportional Gain controls how fast the system will respond relative to how far it is from the target, or high reactive the system is.

Integral Gain



The Integral Gain is how aggressive the Proportional changes are. The Integral Gain has the main purpose of adding more correction over time based on how much error is present.

Derivative Gain



Derivative Gain is used to control the rate of change of the target error.   It works by pushing the correction in the opposite direction when approaching the target to help prevent overshooting of the target.

      Idle Control is used to hold the RPM steady while off the throttle. To do this the ECU needs to be controlling a device that regulates air flow into the engine. This can be via DBW throttle control, a 2 or 3 wire solenoid, or a stepper motor valve. ...

      Tuning Tips The Derivative Gain dampens the rate of change of the error, decreasing the throttle response as to not accelerate too rapidly toward the target speed, and therefore reduces the chance of overshooting the target speed. A higher Derivative ...
