Programmers and hobby-researchers watch out! Hartmut Bakker and Co demonstrate how digital controllers lead to instability due to dead time behavior and limit cycles.

The control theory tries to make general statements over regulation organs, regulation strategies and things to be regulated, regardless of the specific application. Of course, this is only possible on the basis of idealized assumptions, which can limit the informative value of the results of this theory. The engineer’s work areas are to design control loops and, in the case of technical devices and systems, to systematically influence the amount of material, material properties, physical state variables and amounts of energy so that an intended success is achieved.
