A Comprehensive Review of the Evolution of Networked Control System Technology and Its Future Potentials

Networked control systems (NCSs) are attracting the attention of system engineers. The NCS has created a paradigm shift in technology. An consists loops joined through communication networks which both signal and feedback exchanged between controller. However, its materialization faces several challenges as it requires integration advanced techniques. This paper presents an extensive review NCSs from perspective design. evolution is broadly divided three phases, namely prior to 2000, during 2001–2010, 2011 onwards. division corresponds initial status, intermediate recent status developments design NCSs. advancement different techniques these phases been discussed comprehensively. also describes transition form continuous domain networked domain, makes better than traditional systems. Some important practical applications, have implemented using NCSs, discussed. thrust areas for future research on identified.
