Design of a Wireless Control System With Unreliable Nodes and Communication Links
提出一种新的控制系统拓扑，在对象和控制器之间加入中间网络系统，并建立建模框架和计算流程，处理节点和通信链路失效问题，适用于无线控制系统的鲁棒设计。
Unlike a traditional topology of a control system with feedback connected plant and controller systems, this paper discusses a new topology that uses an intermediate network system between the plant and controller systems. More specifically, this paper presents modeling frameworks as well as computational procedures for the design of the closed-loop control system when the nodes of the plant, controller, and network systems fail to operate and the communication links fail to transfer information between communicating nodes. It also discusses conditions required for the synthesis of the controller and network systems, and characterizes the maximum number of unavailable nodes and the maximum probability of unavailable communication links. The aim of the presented results is to provide a more practical approach to the design of the new topology. Also, a four-tank process system is used to demonstrate details of the presented modeling frameworks and computational procedures.
