The first PI proportional controllers were analog electronic
controllers. On those analog controllers, the integral
adjustment was a front panel rotary knob (or pot) which
adjusted the time constant of the error integrator circuit.
Integration is the mathematical operation on the error
signal in a PI or PID controller. Explaining how it works
as a calculus math function is meaningless to technicians
who haven't studied calculus.
Back then, the integral adjustment was called 'reset'
because the adjusting the knob was said to 'reset' the
process variable's droop back towards the setpoint.
Controllers were frequently recorder/controllers so the
trended PV action could be seen over time - the droop from
setpoint and the resulting reset towards the setpoint when
integral action was applied.
Hence, 'reset' became the term used for integral action
rather than 'integral'.

Q1: Consider part of a control loop, which excludes the transmitter, consisting of a process, a controller and a control valve which may be represented by two dead times of 0.5 min each and three exponential lags of 0.8 min., 1.0 min. and 1.5 min. respectively. We wish to express this system as an overall first order plus dead time (FOPLD) model ie gain, time constant and process dead time. (We will see later that this is often done, to simplify controller tuning). For this exercise, gain is considered to be 1.0. (A) If the transmitter is a flow transmitter whose behaviour can be described by a dead time of 0.2 min. and an exponential lag of 0.5 min. in terms of the overall dead time and overall first order lag how can the system behaviour be approximated ? Overall dead time = Overall time constant = (B) If the transmitter is a temperature transmitter with a temperature sensor in a protecting well whose behaviour can be described by a dead time of 0.7 min. and an exponential lag of 15 min. how can the overall system behaviour be approximated now? Overall dead time = Overall time constant =
