Re: PID without the D
I would think that doing a PI would be really unstable. The D part has the effect usually of dampening the I since the I will always overshoot the goal. Of course the instability will dampen itself over time because of friction in the system but I would agree that I have never seen a PI loop. Plenty of P+D and P-D and just P loops but never a PI loop.

What exactly is your reason for not using the derivative part of the loop?
