Integral Term
The action of the Integral (I) term creates a valve drive signal that is proportional to the
magnitude and sign of the area under the error signal curve (error signal with respect to time).
Therefore, as time passes, the integral term acts to position the valve to reduce the error signal to
zero. An increase in the integration time increases the period of time over which the error signal
is generated, and the system response gets slower. Figure 16 shows the effects of the Integral
term.

Adjusting the Integral Control
The Integral (I) term adjustment is located on the top of the 640 Series unit, as shown in
Figure 13, page 33. The control is a 10-position dial where the 0 setting has the longest
integration time; the 9 position setting has the shortest integration time. The initial setting is 0.
Note
To shorten the integration time, increase the I term setting.
