V elocity model CNT -APG002-EN 7 ® V elocity model Trane controllers use a type of PID cont rol known as the velocity model. The velocity model minimizes the problem of integral windup , which occurs when the sum of past errors in the integral calculation is too great to al low the co ntroll er to chan ge the output at one of the extre mes (see ?[...]
