Proportional (P) Controller
In proportional controller, the actuating signal for the control action in a control system is proportional to the error signal (which is the input to the controller), therefore the system is called proportional control system.
Integral (I) Controller (Reset Mode)
In integral controller, the actuating signal for the control action in a control system is proportional to the integral (or integration) of the error signal (which is the input to this controller), therefore the system is called integral control system.
Derivative (D) Controller (Rate Mode)
In derivative controller, the actuating signal for the control action in a control system is proportional to the
derivative (or differentiation) of the error signal (which is the input to the controller), therefore the system is called
derivative control system.
Proportional Integral (P-I) Controller
It is composite of proportional and integral controllers
Proportional Derivative (P-D) Controller
It is composite of proportional and derivative controllers
Proportional Integral Derivative (P-I-D) Controller
It is composite of proportional, integral and derivative controllers.

State variables analysis
State model of Linear systems:


1. Controllable Canonical Form (CCF)
This form of state-space representation has got the name due to the fact that all of the states are feedback to the input.
Consider the linear system defined by,

2. Observable Canonical Form (OCF)
In this form the feedback is from the output to the state variables and thus named as observable canonical or observer canonical form.
Consider the transfer function system,
