Sensor/actuator faults detection for networked control systems via predictive control

Quantized fault detection for sensor/actuator faults of networked control systems (NCSs) with time delays both in the sensor-to-controller channel and controller-to-actuator channel is concerned in this paper. A fault model is set up based on the possible cases of sensor/actuator faults. Then, the model predictive control is used to compensate the time delay. When the sensors and actuators are healthy, an H ∞ stability criterion of the state predictive observer is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequality. A new threshold computational method that conforms to the actual situation is proposed. Then, the thresholds of the false alarm rate (FAR) and miss detection rate (MDR) are presented by using our proposed method, which are also compared with the ones given in the existing literatures. Finally, some numerical simulations are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Fault-distribution-dependent reliable control for time-varying delay system

This paper considers the problem of reliable control for continuous-time systems with interval time-varying delay. By introducing a random matrix, a new practical actuator fault model is established. Using the Lyapunov-Krasovskii approach, a sufficient condition for the existence of reliable controller is expressed by a linear matrix inequality(LMI). An illustrative example is exploited to show the effectiveness of the proposed design procedures.     

具有传输时延的网络控制系统故障估计与调节

In this paper, a method of fault estimation and fault tolerant control for networked control system (NCS) with transfer delay and process noise is presented. First, the networked control system is modeled as a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) discrete-time system with transfer delays, process noise, and model uncertainties. Under this model and under some conditions, a fault estimation method is proposed to estimate the system faults. On the basis of the information on fault estimation and the sliding mode control theory, a fault tolerant controller is designed to recover the system performance. Finally, simulation results are used to verify the efficiency of the method.     

Multimodel-based flight control system reconfiguration control in the presence of input constraints

In this paper, an active fault accommodate strategy is proposed for the plant in the presence of actuator fault and input constraints, which is a combination of a direct adaptive control algorithm with multiple model switching. The μ-modification is introduced in the model reference architecture to construct the adaptive controller. The proof of stability is based on the candidate Lyapunov function, while appropriate switching of multiple models guarantees asymptotic tracking of the system states and the boundedness of all signals. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.     

Quantized H ∞ fault-tolerant control for networked control systems

Quantized H_∞ fault-tolerant control for networked control systems (NCSs) with partial actuator fault with respect to actuators is concerned in this paper. Considering transmission delay, packet dropout and quantization, a synthesis model with partial actuator fault is established. The piecewise constant controller is adopted to model NCS with the transmission delay and packet dropout. Due to data transmitted in practical NCSs should be quantized before they are sent to the next network node, the logarithmic static and time-invariant quantizers at the sensor and controller sides are proposed in the paper. For the established model, an appropriate type of Lyapunov functions is provided to investigate the delay-dependent H_∞ control problem. According to an optimal problem, the controller that makes the system achieve the best performance is designed. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Adaptive output feedback control using fault compensation and fault estimation for linear system with actuator failure

The problem of linear systems subject to actuator faults（outage,loss of efectiveness and stuck）,parameter uncertainties and external disturbances is considered.An active fault compensation control law is designed which utilizes compensation in such a way that uncertainties,disturbances and the occurrence of actuator faults are account for.The main idea is designing a robust adaptive output feedback controller by automatically compensating the fault dynamics to render the close-loop stability.According to the information from the adaptive mechanism,the updating control law is derived such that all the parameters of the unknown input signal are bounded.Furthermore,a disturbance decoupled fault reconstruction scheme is presented to evaluate the severity of the fault and to indicate how fault accommodation should be implemented.The advantage of fault compensation is that the dynamics caused by faults can be accommodated online.The proposed design method is illustrated on a rocket fairing structural-acoustic model.     

A New Approach to Robust and Fault Tolerant Control

In this paper, we shall summarize a new approach to robust and fault tolerant control proposed recently by the author. This approach is based on a variation of all controller parametrization. This robust and fault-tolerant control design consists of two parts: a nominal performance controller and a robustness controller, and works in such a way that when a component (sensor, actuator, etc.) failure is detected, the controller structure is reconfigured by adding a robustness loop to compensate the fault. We shall illustrate how this strategy works under various situations.     

Adaptive type-2 fuzzy sliding mode controller for SISO nonlinear systems subject to actuator faults

In this paper, an adaptive type-2 fuzzy sliding mode control to tolerate actuator faults of unknown nonlinear systems with external disturbances is presented. Based on a redundant actuation structure, a novel type-2 adaptive fuzzy fault tolerant control scheme is proposed using sliding mode control. Two adaptive type-2 fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the unknown functions, whose adaptation laws are deduced from the stability analysis. The proposed approach allows to ensure good tracking performance despite the presence of actuator failures and external disturbances, as illustrated through a simulation example.     

Distributed active fault tolerant control design against actuator faults for multiple mobile robots

This paper investigates the active fault tolerant cooperative control problem for a team of wheeled mobile robots whose actuators are subjected to partial or severe faults during the team mission. The cooperative robots network only requires the interaction between local neighbors over the undirected graph and does not assume the existence of leaders in the network. We assume that the communication exists all the time during the mission. To avoid the system''s deterioration in the event of a fault, a set of extended Kalman filters (EKFs) are employed to monitor the actuators'' behavior for each robot. Then, based on the online information given by the EKFs, a reconfigurable sliding mode control is proposed to take an appropriate action to accommodate that fault. In this research study, two types of faults are considered. The first type is a partial actuator fault in which the faulty actuator responds to a partial of its control input, but still has the capability to continue the mission when the control law is reconfigured. In addition, the controllers of the remaining healthy robots are reconfigured simultaneously to move within the same capability of the faulty one. The second type is a severe actuator fault in which the faulty actuator is subjected to a large loss of its control input, and that lead the exclusion of that faulty robot from the team formation. Consequently, the remaining healthy robots update their reference trajectories and form a new formation shape to achieve the rest of the team mission.

Simulation results of a three-tank system with sensor fault are given to show the efficiency of the method.     

Robust Actuator‐Fault‐Tolerant Control System Based on Sliding‐Mode Observer for Thrust‐Vectoring Aircrafts

In this paper, a robust actuator‐fault‐tolerant control (FTC) system is proposed for thrust‐vectoring aircraft (TVA) control. To this end, a TVA model with actuator fault dynamics, disturbances, and uncertain aerodynamic parameters is described, and a local fault detection and identification (FDI) mechanism is proposed to locate and identify faults, which utilizes an adaptive sliding‐mode observer (SMO) to detect actuator faults and two SMOs to identify and estimate their parameters. Finally, a fault‐tolerant controller is designed to compensate for these actuator faults, disturbances, and uncertain aerodynamic parameters; the approach combines back‐stepping control with fault parameters and a high‐order SMO. Furthermore, the stability of the entire control system is validated, and simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and potential for this robust FTC system.

Fault estimation and controller compensation in Lure systems by LPV-embedding

Previous works have considered the use of set invariance theory for fault detection and isolation in nonlinear Lure systems. This paper extends those results and proposes a new actuator fault-tolerant control approach. The fault-tolerant control scheme is designed based on linear parameter-varying (LPV) models of Lure systems. The actuator fault situation is diagnosed by an invariant set-based fault detection and isolation algorithm. Faults are compensated by adapting the controller gain based on estimates of the fault magnitude. Conditions for correct fault detection and isolation, and closed-loop stability are derived. The proposed fault-tolerant control scheme is compared with a linearised model approach and the performance of both, LPV-embedding and linearised, approaches are analysed for scalar and second-order systems. An example of a chaotic Chua circuit is also provided to illustrate the proposed fault-tolerant control scheme in higher-order systems.

Bumpless switching control for switched systems with partial actuator failures

This study is concerned with the bumpless transfer problem for switched systems with partial actuator failures, in order to obtain smooth system performance output transition. Taking into account that the system requires a controller switching from current sub-controller to a fault-tolerant sub-controller after actuator fault. And bumpless transfer for control input cannot be traditionally designed when the actuator fault occurs, while performance smoothing can be considered and it is actually the ultimate goal of bumpless transfer. Specifically, the actuator fault model is firstly established and partial actuator fault is considered. Then, the system performance output signal is deemed as the main design variable of bumpless transfer, and closed-loop control systems both previous and after controller switching are constructed. Moreover, by using model matching thought and the adaptive sliding mode control technique, a bumpless transfer compensator design strategy is given to drive the performance output variable (after controller switching) to track the one of reference model. At last, simulation results of numeric and application examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed bumpless transfer strategy.
