A Method for controlling a controlled system (110; 200) with a fluidic actuator, 1.1 wherein the fluidic actuator of the controlled system (110; 200) is suitable for controlling a controlled variable; 1.2 wherein a manipulated variable is applied to the controlled system (110; 200) to control the controlled variable; wherein the method comprises the following steps: 1.3 specifying a setpoint value (w) for the controlled variable; 1.4 determining an actual value (x) and a rate of change of the actual value (x) of the controlled variable; 1.5 determining a desired change (y) in a value (yRL) of the manipulated variable on the basis of the predetermined setpoint value (w) of the controlled variable and the determined actual value (x) of the controlled variable; 1.6 directing the desired change (y) in the value (yRL) of the manipulated variable to a rate limiter, 1.6.1 wherein the rate limiter generates (1150, 1160) a new value (yRL) of the manipulated variable from the desired change (y) in the value (yRL) of the manipulated variable for actuating the fluidic actuator; 1.6.2 wherein the rate limiter permits a change in the value (yRL) of the manipulated variable only at a rate of change whose quantity is less than or equal to a predetermined value (mr, pr); 1.7 wherein the predetermined value (mr, pr) is set to a first value if the rate of change of the actual value (x) of the controlled variable is within predetermined limits; 1.8 wherein the predetermined value (mr, pr) is set to a second value if the rate of change of the actual value (x) of the controlled variable is outside the predetermined limits; 1.9 wherein the second value is smaller than the first value. 1.1 wherein the fluidic actuator of the controlled system (110; 200) is suitable for controlling a controlled variable; 1.2 wherein a manipulated variable is applied to the controlled system (110; 200) to control the controlled variable; 1.3 specifying a setpoint value (w) for the controlled variable; 1.4 determining an actual value (x) and a rate of change of the actual value (x) of the controlled variable; 1.5 determining a desired change (y) in a value (yRL) of the manipulated variable on the basis of the predetermined setpoint value (w) of the controlled variable and the determined actual value (x) of the controlled variable; 1.6 directing the desired change (y) in the value (yRL) of the manipulated variable to a rate limiter, 1.6.1 wherein the rate limiter generates (1150, 1160) a new value (yRL) of the manipulated variable from the desired change (y) in the value (yRL) of the manipulated variable for actuating the fluidic actuator; 1.6.2 wherein the rate limiter permits a change in the value (yRL) of the manipulated variable only at a rate of change whose quantity is less than or equal to a predetermined value (mr, pr); 1.7 wherein the predetermined value (mr, pr) is set to a first value if the rate of change of the actual value (x) of the controlled variable is within predetermined limits; 1.8 wherein the predetermined value (mr, pr) is set to a second value if the rate of change of the actual value (x) of the controlled variable is outside the predetermined limits; 1.9 wherein the second value is smaller than the first value.
