Guaranteed Cost Active Fault-tolerant Control of Networked Control System with Packet Dropout and Transmission Delay

The problem of guaranteed cost active fault-tolerant controller (AFTC) design for networked control systems (NCSs) with both packet dropout and transmission delay is studied in this paper.Considering the packet dropout and transmission delay,a piecewise constant controller is adopted.With a guaranteed cost function,optimal controllers whose number is equal to the number of actuators are designed,and the design process is formulated as a convex optimal problem that can be solved by existing software.The control strategy is proposed as follows:when actuator failures appear,the fault detection and isolation unit sends out the information to the controller choosing strategy,and then the optimal stabilizing controller with the smallest guaranteed cost value is chosen.Two illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.By comparing with the existing methods,it can be seen that our method has a better performance.

Novel active fault-tolerant control scheme and its application to a double inverted pendulum system

On the basis of the gain-scheduled H∞ design strategy, a novel active fault-tolerant control scheme is proposed. Under the assumption that the effects of faults on the state-space matrices of systems can be of affine parameter dependence, a reconfigurable robust H∞ linear parameter varying controller is developed. The designed controller is a function of the fault effect factors that can be derived online by using a well-trained neural network. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a double inverted pendulum system, with a fault in the motor tachometer loop, is considered.

Mine-Hoist Active Fault Tolerant Control System and Strategy

Based on fault diagnosis and fault tolerant technologies, the mine-hoist active fault-tolerant control system (MAFCS) is presented with corresponding strategies,, which includes the fault diagnosis module (FDM), the dynamic library (DL) and the fault-tolerant control module (FCM). When a fault is judged from some sensor by FDM, FCM reconfigure the state of MAFCS by calling the parameters from all sub libraries in DL, in order to ensure the reliabil- ity and safety of mine hoist. The simulating result shows that, MAFCS is of certain intelligence, which can adopt the corresponding control strategies according to different fault modes, even when there are quite difference between the real data and the prior fault modes.

Data-based Fault Tolerant Control for Affine Nonlinear Systems Through Particle Swarm Optimized Neural Networks

In this paper, a data-based fault tolerant control(FTC) scheme is investigated for unknown continuous-time(CT)affine nonlinear systems with actuator faults. First, a neural network(NN) identifier based on particle swarm optimization(PSO) is constructed to model the unknown system dynamics. By utilizing the estimated system states, the particle swarm optimized critic neural network(PSOCNN) is employed to solve the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation(HJBE) more efficiently.Then, a data-based FTC scheme, which consists of the NN identifier and the fault compensator, is proposed to achieve actuator fault tolerance. The stability of the closed-loop system under actuator faults is guaranteed by the Lyapunov stability theorem. Finally, simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed method.

Adaptive fault-tolerant controller design for airbreathing hypersonic vehicle with input saturation

The problem of fault-tolerant control is discussed for the longitudinal model of an airbreathing hypersonic vehicle(AHV) with actuator faults and external disturbances.Firstly,a fault-tolerant control strategy is presented for the longitudinal model of an AHV,which guarantees that velocity and altitude track their reference trajectories at an exponential convergence rate.However,this method needs to know the minimum value of the actuator efficiency factor and the upper bound of the external disturbances,which makes it not easy to implement.Then an improved adaptive fault-tolerant control scheme is proposed,where two adaptive laws are employed to estimate the upper bound of the external disturbances and the minimum value of the actuator efficiency factor,respectively.Secondly,the problem of designing a control scheme with control constraints is further considered,and a new adaptive fault-tolerant control strategy with input saturation is designed to guarantee that velocity and altitude track their reference trajectories.Finally,simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Fault tolerant control based on stochastic distribution via RBF neural networks

A new fault tolerant control(FTC) via a controller reconfiguration approach for general stochastic nonlinear systems is studied.Different from the formulation of classical FTC methods,it is supposed that the measured information for the FTC is the probability density functions(PDFs) of the system output rather than its measured value.A radial basis functions(RBFs) neural network technique is proposed so that the output PDFs can be formulated in terms of the dynamic weighings of the RBFs neural network.As a result,the nonlinear FTC problem subject to dynamic relation between the input and the output PDFs can be transformed into a nonlinear FTC problem subject to dynamic relation between the control input and the weights of the RBFs neural network approximation to the output PDFs.The FTC design consists of two steps.The first step is fault detection and diagnosis(FDD),which can produce an alarm when there is a fault in the system and also locate which component has a fault.The second step is to adapt the controller to the faulty case so that the system is able to achieve its target.A linear matrix inequality(LMI) based feasible FTC method is applied such that the fault can be detected and diagnosed.An illustrated example is included to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm,and satisfactory results have been obtained.

Fault-Tolerant Control Research for Networked Control System under Communication Constraints

Implementing a control system over a communication network induces inevitable time delays that may degrade performance and even cause instability. 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.

Event-triggered sampling and fault-tolerant control co-design based on fault diagnosis observer

A co-design scheme of event-triggered sampling mechanism and active fault tolerant control(FTC) is developed. Firstly,a fault diagnosis observer is designed to estimate both the fault and the state simultaneously by using the event-triggered sampled output. Some H_∞ constraints between the estimation errors and the event-triggered sampling mechanism are established to ensure the estimation accuracy. Then, based on the constraints and the obtained fault information, an event-triggered detector and a static fault tolerant controller are co-designed to guarantee the stability of the faulty system and to reduce the sensor communication cost.Furthermore, the problem of the event detector and dynamic FTC co-design is also investigated. Simulation results of an unstable batch reactor are finally provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Time-varying fault-tolerant formation tracking based cooperative control and guidance for multiple cruise missile systems under actuator failures and directed topologies

This paper studies time-varying fault-tolerant formation tracking problems for the multiple cruise missile system under directed topologies subjected to actuator failures. Firstly, the timevarying fault-tolerant formation tracking process for the multiple cruise missile system is divided into the guidance loop and the control loop. Then protocols are constructed to accomplish distributed fault-tolerant formation tracking in the guidance loop with the adaptive updating mechanism, in the condition where neither the knowledge about actuator malfunctions nor any global information of the communication topology remains available. Moreover, sufficient conditions to accomplish formation tracking are presented, and it is shown that the multiple cruise missile system can carry on the predefined time-varying fault-tolerant control (FTC) formation tracking through the active disturbances rejection controller (ADRC) and the proportion integration (PI) controller by the way of the fault-tolerant protocol utilizing the designed strategies, in the event of actuator failures. At last, numerical analysis and simulation are designed to verify the theoretical results.

Impact angle constrained fuzzy adaptive fault tolerant IGC method for Ski-to-Turn missiles with unsteady aerodynamics and multiple disturbances

An impact angle constrained fuzzy adaptive fault tolerant integrated guidance and control method for Ski-to-Turn(STT)missiles subject to unsteady aerodynamics and multiple disturbances is proposed.Unsteady aerodynamics appears when flight vehicles are in a transonic state or confronted with unstable airflow.Meanwhile,actuator failures and multisource model uncertainties are introduced.However,the boundaries of these multisource uncertainties are assumed unknown.The target is assumed to execute high maneuver movement which is unknown to the missile.Furthermore,impact angle constraint puts forward higher requirements for the interception accuracy of the integrated guidance and control(IGC)method.The impact angle constraint and the precise interception are established as the object of the IGC method.Then,the boundaries of the lumped disturbances are estimated,and several fuzzy logic systems are introduced to compensate the unknown nonlinearities and uncertainties.Next,a series of adaptive laws are developed so that the undesirable effects arising from unsteady aerodynamics,actuator failures and unknown uncertainties could be suppressed.Consequently,an impact angle constrained fuzzy adaptive fault tolerant IGC method with three loops is constructed and a perfect hit-to-kill interception with specified impact angle can be implemented.Eventually,the numerical simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
