Abstract: | The networked control system (NCS) is currently receiving increasing attention from researchers. Researches on this subject, however, have not considered the co‐design of network quality of service (QoS) and control quality of performance (QoP). This paper proposes a novel NCS design framework based on scheduling and control co‐design to compensate for random network‐induced delays. In the framework, a scheduling algorithm used to find the optimal sampling regions of control loops performs rough adjustment and guarantees the network QoS, while a novel adaptive fuzzy PID controller is designed to perform accurate adjustment to guarantee the control QoP. Practical application results obtained with a multi‐loop NCS show that the framework can ensure satisfactory performance due to its robustness against network uncertainty. |
