Networked control systems tolerant to faults

摘要

Control Systems in the last decade have seen a rapid increase in the integration of multi-loop distributed and networked systems, often containing a large number of dynamically interacting uncertain components. This is the result of a convergence of (a) digital network technology, (b) embedded systems, (c) failure analysis and online diagnosis. These systems, referred to as networked control systems (NCS), are inherently complex and involve a hierarchy of local and global embedded control and diagnostic structures that are difficult to model because of the complexity of their behaviours.
