Influence Factors of Networked Control System Performance and Simulation

Abstract:

Networked Control System (NCS) has been drawn much attention in control field, and the performance of integrating control with network is particularly considered. The co-design of control and network performances of NCSs simultaneously possesses the theoretical and practical significance. In the paper, the main four NCS factors, i.e., network-induced delay, scheduling, sampling period, and packet loss rate, are investigated from the perspective of theoretical analysis and simulation. The simulations, based on the Truetime toolbox, show the effect of each factor on the NCS performance, which could provide a critical research basis for the further research in the co-design of NCS control and scheduling.
