Service Mode / Parameter Level 13.7.5 I Portion /I- Limit Integral step: setting 1….1000 General: An I-controller (integrating controller) provides the control value through timed integration of the offset taking the reset time into account. A continuing offset leads to further increase of the analog output. The reset time determines how big the temporal influence is.
