This paper presents a practical network platform to design and implement a networked-based cascade control system linking a Smar Foundation Fieldbus (FF) controller (DFI-302) and a Siemens programmable logic controller (PLC-S7-315-2DP) through Industrial Ethernet to a laboratory pilot plant. In the presented network configuration, the Smar OPC tag browser and Siemens WinCC OPC Channel provide t...

When designing Networked Control Systems (NCS), the maximum allowable transmission interval (MATI) is an important quantity, as it provides admissible time between two instants. An efficient procedure to compute a bound on MATI such that stability can be guaranteed for general nonlinear NCS emulation of continuous-time controller. In this paper, we present simple but modification well-establish...

Recent interest in networked control systems (NCS) has instigated research in both communication networks and control. Analysis of NCSs has usually been performed from either the network or the control point of view, but not many papers exist where the analysis of both is done in the same context. In this paper an overall analysis of the networked control system is presented. First, the procedu...

ISBN 978-91-554-9452-0. The main focus of the thesis is to derive stability criteria for networked control system (NCS) models featuring imperfections such as time-varying and constant delays, quanti...

Networked control systems (NCSs) offer many advantages over conventional control; however, they also demonstrate challenging problems such as network-induced delay and packet losses. This paper proposes an approach of predictive compensation for simultaneous networkinduced delays and packet losses. Different from the majority of existing NCS control methods, the proposed approach addresses co-d...

In this article, our aim is to perform security threat assessment of networked control systems (NCS) systems with regulatory and supervisory control layers. We analyze the performance of a proportional-integral controller (regulatory layer), and a model-based diagnostic scheme (supervisory layer) under a class of deception attacks. We adopt a conservative approach by assuming that the attacker ...

Networked control systems (NCS) provide many advantages for idustrial development. For larger scale systems and more complex systems usage of NCS’s will become mandatory. However usage of networked control systems introduces time-delay uncertainty in closed-loop system dynamics. These time delays are caused by the time sharing of the communication medium as well as computation time necessary fo...

To deal with random delays in Networked Control System (NCS), Modified Fuzzy PID Controller is introduced in this paper to implement real-time control adaptively. Via adjusting the control signal dynamically, the system performance is improved. In this paper, the design process and the ultimate simulation results are represented. Finally, examples and corresponding comparisons prove the signifi...

In this paper, the design of the optimal decentralized state-feedback controllers is considered for a wireless sensor and actuator network (WSAN) with stochastic network-induced delays and packet losses. In particular, taking advantage of multiple controllers, we model the WSAN as a wireless networked control system (NCS) with decentralized controllers, and then formulate the stochastic optimal...

Networked Control System (NCS) is fetching researchers' interest from many decades. It's been used in industry which range from manufacturing, automobile, aviation, aerospace to military. This paper gives the general architecture of NCS and its fundamental routes. It also touches to its advantages and disadvantages and some of the popular controller which include PID (Proportional-Int...
