🔍 Key Concepts

• Reset control mode in automatic control systems (how it acts over time) • Difference between proportional, integral (reset), and derivative control actions • How floating / proportional speed control behaves compared to integral (reset) action

💭 Think About

• In control theory, which mode is commonly known for eliminating steady-state offset by accumulating error over time? • Does proportional speed (floating) control act more like a simple proportional action, or does it gradually change the output as long as error exists (similar to integral)? • Is derivative control associated with present error, past error, or rate of change of error?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which mode is traditionally called integral (reset) control in textbooks and USCG reference materials • Confirm whether proportional speed (floating) is another name/implementation style of integral or of proportional control • Make sure you can clearly state how derivative control behaves and see if that matches the description of reset mode or not
