Process control over time delayed communication systems
Daniel Irimia, Ciprian Lupu · International Conference on Telecommunications · 2010
This article proposes a method that should optimize the process control when the communication systems that are used are having a time delay comparable with the variation time of the process itself. The systems that are using as communication channel an in-place network with inherent time-delays must take into account the properties of the communication protocol itself. This theory focuses on leveraging usage of new wireless technology in automatic control. Whereas new wireless technologies are more and more widely used in consumer data transmission, they are still rather unavailable for industrial communication because of the poor application and protocol support. Introducing methods which intend to homogenise the application layer regardless of the physical data bearer might increase the use of modern communication systems and drop the costs of these automation solutions.
