Robust H ∞ networked control for discrete-time fuzzy systems with state quantisation

The problem of robust H _∞ control for uncertain discrete-time Takagi and Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy networked control systems (NCSs) with state quantisation is investigated. A new model of network-based control with simultaneous consideration of network-induced delays and packet dropouts is proposed. By using a fuzzy Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF), we derive a less conservative delay-dependent stability condition for the closed-loop NCSs. Robust H _∞ fuzzy controller is developed for the asymptotical stabilisation of the NCSs. Since it is not expressed as strict LMI conditions, the cone complementary linearisation procedure is exploited to solve the nonconvex feasibility problem. A numerical example shows the feasibility applications of the proposed technique.     

Robust fault estimator design for uncertain networked control systems with random time delays: An ILMI approach

This paper investigates the problem of robust fault estimation for a class of uncertain networked control systems (NCSs) with random communication network-induced delays, which are described by Markov processes. Based on the Lyapunov-Razumikhin method, the existence of a delay-dependent fault estimator is given in terms of the solvability of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs). An iterative algorithm is proposed to change this non-convex BMI problem into quasi-convex optimization problems, which can be solved effectively by available mathematical tools. The effectiveness of the proposed design methodology is verified by an internet-based DC motor test rig.     

Feedback control with scheduled communication sequences and random delays

This paper establishes an approach to co-design of an output feedback controller and a channel-access managing policy for networked control systems (NCSs) where channel limitations and network-induced delays are present at both sides of the system. In particular, communication sequences and controller co-design conditions for linear NCSs with bounded disturbance are derived in the framework of hybrid control and given in terms of difference linear matrix inequality (DLMI) and difference matrix equation (DME). The results are extended to NCSs with Gaussian noises and random delays that are independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) and Markovian, with corresponding results given in the sense of stochastic stability. Numerical examples have shown the usefulness of the proposed methods.     

网络控制系统的H∞状态反馈控制器设计

研究了对网络控制系统如何设计H∞状态反馈控制器.这些网络控制系统中存在不确定的网络时延和数据包丢失.当网络时延和连续丢包有界时,可以将系统建模为具有时变输入时滞的系统,利用Lyapunov-Krasovskii泛函,推导出网络控制系统渐近稳定的充分条件.将这些充分条件转化为带等式约束的LMIs,并对他们进行迭代求解,就可以构造H∞控制器.与现有结果相比,在推导稳定性条件时本文对交叉项采取了更紧的界定,并且在设计控制器时无需知道调节参数.因此,本文提出的方法具有更低的保守性.仿真结果说明了本方法的正确性和有效性.     

Delay-dependent robust stability of uncertain networked control systems with multiple state time-delays

In this paper, delay-dependent robust stability for a class of uncertain networked control systems （NCSs） with multiple state time-delays is investigated. Modeling of multi-input and multi-output （MIMO） NCSs with networkinduced delays and uncertainties through new methods are proposed. Some new stability criteria in terms of LMIs are derived by using Lyapunov stability theory combined with linear matrix inequalities （LMIs） techniques. We analyze the delay-dependent asymptotic stability and obtain maximum allowable delay bound （MADB） for the NCSs with the proposed methods. Compared with the reported results, the proposed results obtain a much less conservative MADB which are more general. Numerical example and simulation is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Design of networked control systems with bounded arbitrary time delays

This paper is mainly concerned with the model predictive control (MPC) of networked control systems (NCSs) with uncertain time delay and data packets disorder. The network-induced time delay is described as bounded and arbitrary process. For the usual state feedback controller, by considering all the possibilities of delays, an augmented state space model of the closed-loop system, which characterizes all the delay cases, is obtained. The stability conditions are given according to the Lyapunov method based on this augmented model. The stability property is inherited in MPC which explicitly considers the physical constraints. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MPC.     

On robust state derivative feedback control for uncertain polytopic systems with uncertain sampling period and network-induced delay

This paper addresses the state derivative feedback control problem for uncertain polytopic systems subject to an uncertain sampling period and network-induced delay. The distinctive contribution relies on the direct design of a robust state derivative feedback controller employing an augmented discretized model derived in terms of the state derivative feedback such that network-induced delay and uncertain sampling periods can be incorporated from the original continuous-time state-space representation into the discretized model. Two augmented models are provided to handle longer input time delays, as well as delays less or equal to the sampling period. In this work, all the uncertain parameters are modeled as a polytopic form whose resulting discrete-time model has matrices with polynomial dependence on the uncertain parameters and an additive norm-bounded term featuring the discretization residual error. Moreover, synthesis conditions are derived using a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMI) to solve the stabilization problem for this class of systems under different input time delays. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Robust disturbance attenuation for uncertain nonlinear networked control systems

This paper considers the problem of robust disturbance attenuation for a class of uncertain nonlinear networked control systems. Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models are firstly employed to describe the nonlinear plant. Markov processes are used to model the random network-induced delays and data packet dropouts. The Lyapunov-Razumikhin method has been used to derive such a controller for this class of nonlinear systems such that it is stochastically stabilizable with a disturbance attenuation level. Sufficient conditions for the existence of such a controller are derived in terms of the solvability of bilinear matrix inequalities. An iterative algorithm is proposed to change this non-convex problem into quasi-convex optimization problems, which can be solved effectively by available mathematical tools. The effectiveness of the proposed design methodology is verified by a numerical example.

Observer-based networked control with probabilistic interval input delays

In this paper, the problem of observer-based control is investigated for networked control systems (NCSs) with probabilistic interval distribution communication delays. In the presence of network-induced delays and packet dropouts in the sensor-to-controller and controller-to-actuator connections, a new model for an observer-based NCS is established, which is then converted to an equivalent linear system with two random time-varying delays satisfying Bernoulli distributions. By utilizing information concerning the probability distribution of the delays and by adopting a tighter bounding technique, less conservative asymptotic mean-square stable sufficient conditions are derived in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Adaptive stabilisation of networked control systems tolerant to unknown actuator failures

In this article, adaptive state feedback stabilising controllers for networked adaptive control systems with unknown actuator failures are developed. The problems of networked control systems (NCSs) such as transmission delays and data-packets dropout, induced by the insertion of data networks in the feedback adaptive control loops are also considered. The novelty of this article consists in the combination of different aspects in NCSs: state tracking control of systems with unknown parameters, unknown actuator failures, network-induced delays and data-packets dropout. Normalised adaptive laws are designed for updating the controller parameters. Sufficient conditions for Lyapunov stability are derived in the case of uncertainty due to actuator failures, delays and data-packets dropout. Simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our design approach.     

H-infinity performance optimization for networked control systems with limited communication channels

This paper studies the problems of H-infinity performance optimization and controller design for continuoustime NCSs with both sensor-to-controller and controller-to-actuator communication constraints (limited communication channels). By taking the derivative character of network-induced delay into full consideration and defining new Lyapunov functions, linear matrix inequalities (LMIs)-based H-infinity performance optimization and controller design are presented for NCSs with limited communication channels. If there do not exist any constraints on the communication channels, the proposed design methods are also applicable. The merit of the proposed methods lies in their less conservativeness, which is achieved by avoiding the utilization of bounding inequalities for cross products of vectors. The simulation results illustrate the merit and effectiveness of the proposed H-infinity controller design for NCSs with limited communication channels.

Absolute stability of Lurie networked control systems

This paper is concerned with the absolute stability problem of networked control systems (NCSs) with the controlled plant being Lurie systems (Lurie NCSs), in which the network‐induced delays are assumed to be time‐varying and bounded. First, in consideration of both the time‐varying network‐induced delays and data packet dropouts, the Lurie NCSs can be modeled as a multiple‐delays Lurie system. Then, a delay‐dependent absolute stability condition is established by using the Lyapunov–Krasovskii method. Next, two approaches to controller design are proposed in the terms of simple algebra criteria, which are easily solved via the toolbox in Matlab. Furthermore, the main results can be extended to robust absolute stability of Lurie NCSs with the structured uncertainties, where robust absolute stability conditions and approaches to robust controller design are presented. Finally, two numerical examples are worked out to illustrate the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A GESO based MPC approach to contour error control of networked motion control system

This paper presents a generalised extended state observer (GESO) based model predictive control (MPC) approach to contour error control for networked multi-axis motion system (NMAMS) with network-induced delays. First, the uncertainties induced by the network-induced delays are modelled as an additive bounded disturbance, and a novel model predictive controller based on the GESO is designed for the uniaxial trajectory tracking control system. The GESO is used to estimate the system state and the disturbance simultaneously, and the effects of the uncertainties induced by the delays are eliminated by the proposed GESO based controller. Then the contour error estimation method is adopted, and a PID controller is designed to compensate the contour error. Finally, experiments are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
