Narrative:
ATC cleared our aircraft from 6000 ft to 2500 ft; and once established; cleared us for the ILS 20 approach at bmi. I was PF (pilot flying) using auto-pilot in heading and vertical speed for a descent and vector to intercept. Correct altitude was set in altitude pre-selector. At 2;500 ft 'alt cap' annunciated; however [the] aircraft continued descent; climb was initiated manually almost immediately back to 2;500 ft. Estimate altitude loss of 250 ft. Below cleared altitude. Pia approach alerted us to low altitude warning while we were in the climb to 2;500 ft; continued approach to normal landing.check and verify automation is doing what it is supposed to be doing.
