This paper presents a two-step approach for modeling delays in Networked Automation and Control Systems (NAS/NCS). The approach combines the two well-known techniques: formal modeling using Colored Petri Nets (CPN) and mathematical modeling using Markov models to achieve this purpose. The first step is to build and simulate a structure-conserving hierarchical timed model for the whole NAS/NCS u...

Networked control systems (NCS), such as the smart power grid, implement feedback control loops by connecting distributed sensors and actuators to a remote controller over a communication network. In order to avoid the costly and timeconsuming installation of dedicated networks, NCS can bene t from utilizing readily available IP networks such as the Internet. However, as control systems are typ...

This paper presents a new stability and L2-gain analysis of linear Networked Control Systems (NCS). The new method is inspired by discontinuous Lyapunov functions that were introduced by Naghshtabrizi et al. (Syst. Control Lett. 2008; 57:378–385; Proceedings 26th American Control Conference, New York, U.S.A., July 2007) in the framework of impulsive system representation. Most of the existing w...

The Networked Control System in modern control widely uses to decrease the implementation cost and increasing the performance. NCS in addition to its advantages is inevitable. Nevertheless they suffer of some limitations and deficiencies. Packet loss is one of the main limitations which affect the control system in different conditions and finally may lead to system instability. For this reason...

A popular design framework for networked control systems (NCSs) is the emulation-based approach combined with Lyapunov-based analysis techniques hybrid systems. In virtually all papers that use this framework, bounds in terms of maximal allowable transmission interval (MATI) are provided to guarantee stability, and performance properties NCS. However, having only such a MATI condition rather re...

We provide a general framework for networked control systems (NCSs) and review previous theoretical results for NCS co-design. We present experimental studies of control and feedback scheduling of NCSs, consisting of dynamic system simulations for the control agents and environment and packet-level network simulations for the communications. To this end, we have extended the ns-2 release in ord...

In the context of Networked Control Systems (NCS), communication time delays strongly influence on the Quality of Control (QoC) of process control applications. The goal of this paper is to propose a way to calculate the closed-loop communication time delay and we compensate this time delay using the pole placement design method in order to improve the QoC for CAN-based NCSs. We consider severa...

This paper discusses the compensation of the transmission delay in a networked control system (NCS) with a state feedback, which possesses a randomly varying transmission delay and uncertain process parameters. The compensation is implemented by using a buffer in the actuator node and a state estimator in the controller node. A Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) based sufficient condition for the s...
