A problem with the derivative term is that small amounts of measurement or process noise can cause large amounts of change in the output. It is often helpful to filter the measurements with alow-pass filter in order to remove higher-frequency noise components. However, low-pass filtering and derivative control can cancel each other out, so reducing noise by instrumentation is a much better choice. Alternatively, a nonlinear median filter may be used, which improves the filtering efficiency and practical performance.In some case, the differential band can be turned off in many systems with little loss of control. This is equivalent to using the PID controller as a PI controller. | A problem with the derivative term is that small amounts of measurement or process noise can cause large amounts of change in the output.
