Robust fault-tolerant control for uncertain networked control systems with state-delay and random data packet dropout (Q446504)

Summary: A robust fault-tolerant controller design problem for Networked Control Systems (NCSs) with random packet dropout in both sensor-to-controller link and controller-to-actuator link is investigated. A novel stochastic NCS model with state-delay, model uncertainty, disturbance, probabilistic sensor failure, and actuator failure is proposed. The random packet dropout, sensor failures, and actuator failures are characterized by a binary random variable. A sufficient condition for asymptotical mean-square stability of NCS is derived. Then, the closed-loop NCS satisfies \(H_\infty\) performance constraints caused by the random packet dropout and disturbance. The fault-tolerant controller is designed by solving a linear matrix inequality. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
