(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller),
negative PID gain may make the system diverge (unstable).
In my experience with Mitsubishi and Yaskawa AC Servos, the PID gains are
always positive.

Why would you need negative I-gain?
Would it be possible that the polarity for calculating error is
mis-configured?
