This article proposes a novel, web-based, remote monitoring and control system design for a building’s electrical power, green power generation and environmental system that will save energy. The supervisory control system is based on the use of distributed microcontroller architecture to access programmable logic controllers (PLC) and remote input/output devices through the system hardware fra...

User security is an important consideration for robots that interact with humans, especially for upper‐limb rehabilitation robots, during the use of which stroke patients are often more susceptible to injury. In this paper, a novel safety supervisory control method incorporating fuzzy logic is proposed so as to guarantee the impaired limb’s safety should an emergency situatio...

We formulate and solve a new supervisory control problem for discrete event systems, The objective is to design a logical controller--or supervisor--such that the discrete event system satisfies a given set of requirements that involve event ordering, The controller must deal with a limited amount of controllability in the form of uncontrollable events. Our problem formulation considers that th...

We propose a real-time optimal controller that will reduce fuel consumption in a series Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). This real-time drive cycle-independent controller is designed using a control-oriented model and Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle for an off-line optimization problem, and is shown to be optimal in realtime applications. Like other proposed controllers in the literature, this con...

Automation means Delegation of human control to machine. A PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is a device that was invented to replace the necessary sequential relay circuits for machine control. A SCADA (Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition System) is used to control the process where person cannot go or stay for longer period. The aim of tis paper is to provide information about hoelectric...

The Supervisory Control Theory (SCT) (Ramadge&Wonham, 1989) was developed to provide a formal methodology for the automatic synthesis of controllers for Discrete Event Systems (DES). In this theory, a system, called a plant, is assumed to have uncontrollable behaviours which may violate some desired specifications. Hence, these behaviours have to be controlled by means of a feedback controller,...

Teams of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) form typical networked cyberphysical systems that involve the interaction of discrete logic and continuous dynamics. This paper presents a hybrid supervisory control framework for the three-dimensional leader follower formation control of unmanned helicopters. The proposed hybrid control framework captures internal interactions between the decision makin...

Abstract. Based on the problems caused by current automatic irrigation system with a large number of cables, such as installation, maintenance, and difficult expansion, this paper proposed a wireless integrated irrigation control system and developed a wireless intelligent valve controller which can satisfy the requirements for agricultural irrigation in our country. The controller consisted o...

The configuration of the battery-supercapacitor as a hybrid power source (HPS) is one solution to overcome limitations battery life, such in an electric vehicle. To achieve energy savings when supercapacitor added, control scheme needed. This paper proposes current sharing using Fuzzy Supervisory Control (FSC). FSC designed determine how much and need discharge based on requirement load. output...
