Guaranteed cost control of distributed parameter networked control systems with time‐varying delay

Distributed parameter networked control systems mean distributed parameter systems are controlled through a network, where the control loops are closed. In this paper, the problem of guaranteed cost and state feedback controller design is investigated for a class of distributed parameter networked control systems. With the network factors, such as transmission delays, data packet dropouts considered, the distributed parameter networked control system is modeled as a linear closed‐loop system with time‐varying delay and uncertain parameters. By selecting an appropriate Lyapunov‐Krasovskii function and using linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, the controller is designed to render the system stable and it can keep the cost function less than a certain upper value. In addition, numerical simulation is included to demonstrate the theoretical results.

Guaranteed Cost Control of Networked Control Systems Under Transmission Control Protocol with Active Queue Management

The problem of a guaranteed cost controller design of networked control systems under transmission control protocol (TCP) is derived. To improve the overall performance of the networked control system, a scheme to simultaneously control the plant and the network is presented. An analytical TCP model is used to design active queue management (AQM) to achieve the desired queue length, which is helpful in reducing the variation of the network induced delay. Moreover, a new closed loop model of networked control systems is obtained by augmenting the TCP communication model with the control plant. The guaranteed cost controller is addressed in terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) to render the system asymptotically stable based on Lyapunov‐Krasovskii theory and weighted technology. Finally, numerical simulations are included to demonstrate the theoretical results.

Output feedback control of networked systems

This paper considers the problem of control of networked systems via output feedback. The controller consists of two parts: a state observer that estimates plant state from the output when it is available via the communication network, and a model of the plant that is used to generate a control signal when the plant output is not available from the network. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the exponential stability of the closed loop system are derived in terms of the networked dwell time and the system parameters. The results suggest simple procedures for designing the output feedback controller proposed. Numerical simulations show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed methods.     

Model predictive control for networked control systems

This paper investigates the problem of model predictive control for a class of networked control systems. Both sensor‐to‐controller and controller‐to‐actuator delays are considered and described by Markovian chains. The resulting closed‐loop systems are written as jump linear systems with two modes. The control scheme is characterized as a constrained delay‐dependent optimization problem of the worst‐case quadratic cost over an infinite horizon at each sampling instant. A linear matrix inequality approach for the controller synthesis is developed. It is shown that the proposed state feedback model predictive controller guarantees the stochastic stability of the closed‐loop system. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Dynamic Control Approach for Network Systems under Event-triggered Communication with Dual Triggers

This work studies the event-triggered control problem for networked control systems. The plant is controlled directly by a dynamic local controller, which receives the reference control signal from the remote controller. The measurement signal of the plant and the reference control signal of the remote controller have their separate event triggers, and thus the remote controller and the local controller can decide when to transmit signals on their own. It is proved that with the proposed control approach and the dual event triggers, the closed loop system is globally asymptotically stable, which has been illustrated by simulation results.

     

Variable Gain Output Feedback Control of A Networked Temperature Control System Based on Online Delay Estimation

In this paper, a gradient descent method based delay estimator is proposed for use with a variable gain control strategy for networked control systems. The delay estimator is developed in such a way that its boundedness is ensured. The performance of the estimator with variable gain controller is evaluated on a temperature control plant with network in the feedback loop.     

Asymptotic Stability and Finite‐Time Stability of Networked Control Systems: Analysis and Synthesis

This paper focuses on the problems of asymptotic stability and finite‐time stability (FTS) analysis, along with the state feedback controller design for networked control systems (NCSs) with consideration of both network‐induced delay and packet dropout. The closed‐loop NCS is modeled as a discrete‐time linear system with a time‐varying, bounded state delay. Sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability and the FTS of the closed‐loop NCS are provided, respectively. Based on the stability analysis results, a mixed controller design method, which guarantees the asymptotic stability of the closed‐loop NCS in the usual case and the FTS of the closed‐loop NCS in the unusual case (that is, in some particular time intervals, large state delay occurs), is presented. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed mixed controller design method.     

Error encoding algorithms for networked control systems

A networked control system is characterized by having a feedback loop closed through a local area network. This paper considers methods for scheduling the use of the network to guarantee both stability and controller performance. We propose and validate algorithms for choosing message identifiers for dynamically scheduled networked control systems. Two schemes for selecting priority levels are proposed: a fixed arbitrary grid and an auto-scaling grid. We prove that the system is uniformly ultimately bounded in the case of the fixed encoding scheme, and asymptotically stable with auto-scaling. An inverted pendulum is used to illustrate the encoding methods.
