However, the truth is that the answer depends on the process and how well each loop is tuned; this may
mean leaving out derivative control, and perhaps also integral control.
• If an offset can be tolerated, P only will work. This could be a tank level that is not critical to the
process.
• If an offset cannot be tolerated, use PI control. This could be for temperature control within the
process.
• If the process is very sluggish and you are not concerned about a noisy measurement, use PID.
