"Euler's Method is the most common integration method for control systems . Control methods such as PID do not need exact integration to work well. This is because the purpose of the integral is usually to force the average error to zero to ensure that the controlled signal matches the command signal over long periods of time. Only rarely is there a need to control the integral of a signal. In those cases you may need a more accurate integration method."
