The document discusses PID controllers, which are widely used in 95% of industrial controllers. PID controllers combine proportional, integral, and derivative actions to achieve fast response, zero steady state error, and less overshoot. The PID controller calculates proportional, integral, and derivative values based on the error between the measured process variable and desired setpoint. By combining these three control modes, the PID controller can control processes very well through its ability to respond to present, past, and future errors.
