Abstract

A simple modification to a proportional integral controller allows for non-linear control strategies while maintaining the simplicity of set up and tuning of the loop through modifying the proportional and/or integral gains K.sub.p, K.sub.j by a linear or parabolic function of the feedback error signal. Provision is made for symmetrical or asymmetrical gain modification functions.
