Most industrial processes respond to the actions of a feedback controller by moving the process variable in the same direction as the control effort. However, there are some interesting exceptions where the process variable first drops, then rises after an increase in the control effort. This peculiar behaviour that is well known as “inverse response”, is due to the non-minimum phase zeros appe...
