A Review of Anti-Windup, Bumpless and Conditioned Transfer

Abstract A simple review of anti-windup, bumpless and conditioned transfer techniques is given in the framework of the PID controller. It will be shown that the most suitable anti-windup strategy for usual applications is the conditioning technique. The new notion of conditioned transfer is also introduced, and it will be indicated that conditioned transfer is a more suitable solution than bumpless transfer.
