Robust model predictive control under redundant channel transmission with applications in networked DC motor systems
In networked systems, intermittent failures in data transmission are usually inevitable due to the limited bandwidth of the communication channel, and an effective countermeasure is to add redundance so as to improve the reliability of the communication service. This paper is concerned with the model predictive control (MPC) problem by using static output feedback for a class of polytopic uncertain systems with redundant channels under both input and output constraints. By utilizing the min-max control approach combined with stochastic analysis, sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the feasibility of the designed MPC scheme that ensures the robust stability of the closed-loop system. In terms of the solution to an auxiliary optimization problem, an easy-to-implement MPC algorithm is proposed to obtain the desired sub-optimal control sequence as well as the upper bound of the quadratic cost function. Finally, to illustrate its effectiveness, the proposed design method is applied to control a networked direct current motor system
Optimal Control for Aperiodic Dual-Rate Systems With Time-Varying Delays
[EN] In this work, we consider a dual-rate scenario with slow input and fast output. Our objective is the maximization of the decay rate of the system through the suitable choice of the n-input signals between two measures (periodic sampling) and their times of application. The optimization algorithm is extended for time-varying delays in order to make possible its implementation in networked control systems. We provide experimental results in an air levitation system to verify the validity of the algorithm in a real plant.This work was supported in part by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO) under the Projects DPI2012-31303 and DPI2014-55932-C2-2-R.Aranda-Escolástico, E.; Salt Llobregat, JJ.; Guinaldo, M.; Chacon, J.; Dormido, S.

Networked control system – an overview
Networked Control System (NCS) is fetching researchers’
interest from many decades. It’s been used in industry which
range from manufacturing, automobile, aviation, aerospace to
military. This paper gives the general architecture of NCS and
its fundamental routes. It also touches to its advantages and
disadvantages and some of the popular controller which
include PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) and MPC
(Model Predictive Control)
Implementation of Model Based Networked Predictive Control System
Networked control systems are made up of several computer nodes
communicating over a communication channel, cooperating to control a
plant. The stability of the plant depends on the end to end delay from
sensor to the actuator. Although computational delays within the
computer nodes can be made bounded, delays through the
communication network are generally unpredictable. A method which
aims to protect the stability of the plant under communication delays
and data loss, Model Based Predictive Networked Control System
(MBPNCS), has previously been proposed by the authors. This paper aims
to demonstrate the implementation of this type of networked control
system on a non-real-time communication network; Ethernet.
In this paper, we first briefly describe the MBPNCS method, then
discuss the implementation, detailing the properties of the operating
system, communications and hardware, and later give the results on the
performance of the Model Based Predictive Networked Control System
implementation controlling a DC motor.

H∞ controller design for networked predictive control systems based on the average dwell-time approach
This brief focuses on the problem of H∞ control for a class of networked control systems with time-varying delay in both forward and backward channels. Based on the average dwell-time method, a novel delay-compensation strategy is proposed by appropriately assigning the subsystem or designing the switching signals. Combined with this strategy, an improved predictive controller design approach in which the controller gain varies with the delay is presented to guarantee that the closed-loop system is exponentially stable with an H∞-norm bound for a class of switching signal in terms of nonlinear matrix inequalities. Furthermore, an iterative algorithm is presented to solve these nonlinear matrix inequalities to obtain a suboptimal minimum disturbance attenuation level. A numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed method
On general systems with network-enhanced complexities
In recent years, the study of networked control systems (NCSs) has gradually become an active research area due to the advantages of using networked media in many aspects such as the ease of maintenance and installation, the large flexibility and the low cost. It is well known that the devices in networks are mutually connected via communication cables that are of limited capacity. Therefore, some network-induced phenomena have inevitably emerged in the areas of signal processing and control engineering. These phenomena include, but are not limited to, network-induced communication delays, missing data, signal quantization, saturations, and channel fading. It is of great importance to understand how these phenomena influence the closed-loop stability and performance properties
Sparse and Constrained Stochastic Predictive Control for Networked Systems
This article presents a novel class of control policies for networked control
of Lyapunov-stable linear systems with bounded inputs. The control channel is
assumed to have i.i.d. Bernoulli packet dropouts and the system is assumed to
be affected by additive stochastic noise. Our proposed class of policies is
affine in the past dropouts and saturated values of the past disturbances. We
further consider a regularization term in a quadratic performance index to
promote sparsity in control. We demonstrate how to augment the underlying
optimization problem with a constant negative drift constraint to ensure
mean-square boundedness of the closed-loop states, yielding a convex quadratic
program to be solved periodically online. The states of the closed-loop plant
under the receding horizon implementation of the proposed class of policies are
mean square bounded for any positive bound on the control and any non-zero
probability of successful transmission
