Abstract
A control system having proportional and integral functions for controlling the rotational speed of a motor. The system includes a self-limiting integrator for avoiding or limiting integral wrapup, a problem commonly associated with integral control. The self-limiting integrator includes an integrator, limit comparator, OR gate, delay circuit, and sign reversal circuitry. The integrator reverses direction of integration when an error limit is realized. The error limit, a preestablished and adjustable value, can be used to determine the rise and settle time of the speed of the motor independently of the gain.
