  Issues in digital Control implementation:
Sampling time: Sampling time should be such that there should not be any kind of distortion of information carried by signal.
 
Effect on system due to sampling.
Filters: necessary for different computations ex. Derivative computation of PD control.
Speed of computation : Whatever processor we are using it should compute as per control law in given sapling time.
Speed of A/D and D/A conversion.
Number of sensors and actuators.
Noise coming from various sources.
Cost : Being important it should be considered alongwith performance.
