Integral windup
Integral windup refers to the situation in a PID controller where the integral, or reset action continues to integrate (ramp) indefinitely. This usually occurs when the controller's output can no longer affect the controlled variable, which in turn can be caused by controller saturation (the output being limited at the top or bottom of its scale), or if the controller is part of a selection scheme and it is not the selected controller.
