A PID controller drives a system to its setpoint using three terms: proportional reacts to the current error, integral eliminates steady-state offset, and derivative damps overshoot. Tuning the three gains trades off speed, overshoot, and stability — the workhorse of industrial control.

Reading this result: Balanced gains — proportional for speed, integral to remove offset, derivative to damp overshoot: the textbook well-tuned response.
