Event Driven Networked Control System for Impact Load Monitoring

Abstract:

The article describes the application of the event-driven networked control system (NCS) for impact load monitoring. The main problem in this type of application is measurement synchronization, which should provide full information about the impact in terms of stochastic delays introduced by the network and stochastic characteristics of the actuator. Using the simulation model of the NCS system, the method of solving this particular problem was developed. The results of verification tests for the real object and a synchronized dynamic measurement of signals from resistance strain gauges are presented. The described system can find use in monitoring and fault detection, in tasks connected with dynamics of liquids and gases, acoustics, and the analysis of resistance properties of materials and technical objects. Key words: Networked control system (NCS), event maintenance, event synchronization, impact monitoring, measurement trigger, strain gauge.
