One of the most effective ways to reduce the negative effect of delays on the performance of networked control system (NCS) is to reduce network traffic. In this paper, adjustable deadbands are explored as a solution to reduce network traffic in NCS. A method of fault-tolerant control of networked control system is presented, which takes into account system response as well as network traffic. The integrity design for a kind of NCS with sensor failures and actuator failures is analyzed based on robust fault-tolerant control theory and information scheduling. After detailed theoretical analysis, the paper also provides the simulation results, which further validate the proposed scheme.展开更多

Several advantages ...Networked control systems are spatially distributed systems in which the communication between sensors, actuators,and controllers occurs through a shared band-limited digital communication network. Several advantages of the network architectures include reduced system wiring, plug and play devices,increased system agility, and ease of system diagnosis and maintenance. Consequently, networked control is the current trend for industrial automation and has ever-increasing applications in a wide range of areas, such as smart grids, manufacturing systems,process control, automobiles, automated highway systems, and unmanned aerial vehicles. The modelling, analysis, and control of networked control systems have received considerable attention in the last two decades. The ‘control over networks’ is one of the key research directions for networked control systems. This paper aims at presenting a survey of trends and techniques in networked control systems from the perspective of ‘control over networks’, providing a snapshot of five control issues: sampled-data control, quantization control, networked control, event-triggered control, and security control. Some challenging issues are suggested to direct the future research.展开更多

The state update time is adjusted according to the real-time network congestion situation. State observer is used under the situation where the state of the controlled plant could not be acquired. The stability criterion of the proposed structure is proved with time-varying state update time. On the basis of the stability of the novel system structure, the compromise between the control performance and the network utilization is realized by using feedback scheduler.Examples are provided to show the advantage of the proposed control structure.展开更多

The probability of the occurrence of attack on a subsystem is represented using a random variable. A decentralized hybrid sampled-data strategy is introduced to save energy consumption and reduce the transmission load of the network. In the proposed decentralized strategy, each subsystem can decide independently whether its state should be transmitted to the controller or not. The scheme of the hybrid triggering mechanism for each subsystem composed of two stages: In the first stage, the next sampling instant is computed using a self-triggering strategy. Subsequently, in the second stage, an event-triggering condition is checked at these sampling instants and the control signal is computed only if the event-triggering condition is violated. The self-triggering condition used in the first stage is dependent on the selection of eventtriggering condition of the second stage. Finally, a comparison of the proposed approach with other triggering mechanisms existing in the literature is presented in terms of the sampling instants,transmission frequency and performance measures through simulation examples.展开更多

First,for improving the performance of data transmission,user datagram protocol (UDP) is adopted as the main stand for controllers and plants using INCSs. Second,a dual-channel secure transmission scheme (DCSTS)based on data transmission characteristics of INCSs is proposed,in which a raw UDP channel and a secure TCP (transmission control protocol) connection making use of SSL/TLS (secure sockets layer/transport layer security) are included. Further,a networked control protocol (NCP) at application layer for supporting DCSTS between the controllers and plants in INCSs is designed,and it also aims at providing a universal communication mechanism for interoperability of devices among the networked control laboratories in Beijing Institute of Technology of China,Central South University of China and Tokyo University of Technology of Japan. By means of a networked single-degree-of-freedom robot arm,an INCS under the new protocol and security environment is created. Compared with systems such as IPSec or SSL/TLS,which may cause more than 91% network throughput deduction,the new DCSTS protocol may yield results ten times better,being just 5.67%.展开更多

Event-triggered control(ETC) is often used to reduce the amount of communication while still keeping a satisfactory performance of the system, by transmitting the measurements only when an event-triggered condition is satisfied. However, some network-induced problems would happen inevitably, such as communication delay and packet loss, which can degrade the control performance significantly and can even lead to instability. In this paper, a periodic eventtriggered NCS considering both time-varying delay and packet loss is studied. The system is discretized into a piecewise linear system with uncertainty. Then the model is handled by a polytopic overapproximation method to be more suitable for stability analysis. Finally, stability conditions are obtained and presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). The result is illustrated by a numerical example.展开更多

To improve the control performance of the system, time-varying delays, modeling uncertainties, and external disturbances are first modeled as a lumped disturbance. Then, a linear extended state observer(LESO) is devised to estimate the system state and the lumped disturbance, and a linear feedback controller with disturbance compensation is designed to perform individual-axis tracking control. After that, a cross-coupled control approach is used to further improve synchronization performance. The bounded-input-bounded-output(BIBO) stability of the closedloop control system is analyzed. Finally, both simulation and experiment are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

文摘This paper studies the optimal output tracking control and stabilization for networked control systems with packet losses via output feedback control.Both finite-horizon and infinite-horizon cases are considered.For the finite-horizon case,the authors introduce an augmented system according to the state variable and the reference trajectory for the first time.Based on a set of difference Riccati equations,an optimal output feedback tracking controller is proposed by applying the stochastic maximum principle.And an optimal estimator is presented.For the infinite-horizon case,a necessary and sufficient condition for the stabilization of the system is provided.And an optimal output feedback stabilizing tracking controller is obtained by establishing a set of algebraic Riccati equations.Finally,numerical examples are given to verify the proposed results.

文摘Problems related to fault detection of networked control systems (NCSs) with both uncertain time-varying delay and quantization error are studied in this paper. A novel model with the form of polytopic uncertainty is given to represent the influences of both the time-varying delay and the quantization error, and then the reference model based method is used to design the residual generator that is robust to both unknown network-induced delay and unknown inputs. A numerical example is also given to illustrate the merits of the presented method. The proposed method can be regarded as an extension of the authors' former work, which can only deal with time-varying delay.
文摘Sufficient conditions are given for the existence of unknown and partially known input normal and descriptor observers for a class of descriptor discrete time networked control systems.It is shown that a causal and regular descriptor system subjected to input and output periodic communication constraints,can be down sampled into a causal and regular p-lifted time invariant system.According to the lifted formulation,interesting results on minimum and maximum feasible values for communication sequence periods are drawn for the existence of an unknown or partially known input observer.The case of partially known input observer,cover unknown input case as an extreme case.An example is given for clarification.

文摘The position synchronization control(PSC) problem is studied for networked multi-axis servo systems(NMASSs) with time-varying delay that is smaller than one sampling period. To improve the control performance of the system, time-varying delays, modeling uncertainties, and external disturbances are first modeled as a lumped disturbance. Then, a linear extended state observer(LESO) is devised to estimate the system state and the lumped disturbance, and a linear feedback controller with disturbance compensation is designed to perform individual-axis tracking control. After that, a cross-coupled control approach is used to further improve synchronization performance. The bounded-input-bounded-output(BIBO) stability of the closedloop control system is analyzed. Finally, both simulation and experiment are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘Microgrid has emerged as an answer to growing demand for distributed generation(DG) in power systems. It contains several DG units including microalternator, photovoltaic system and wind generation. It turns out that sustained operation relies on the stability of these constituent systems. In this paper, a microgrid consisting of microalternator and photovoltaic system is modeled as a networked control system of systems(So S)subjected to packet dropouts and delays. Next, an observerbased controller is designed to stabilize the system in presence of the aforementioned communication constraints and simulation results are provided to support the control design methodology.
