A survey - Networked control systems
Bella Bellie Sharmila, N. Devarajan · 2012
The use of a data network in a control loop has gained increasing attentions in recent years due to its cost effective and flexible applications. The major challenges in this so-called Networked Control System (NCS) are the network-induced delay and packet losses in the control loop. These challenges degrade the NCS control performance and destabilize the system. A significant emphasis has been on developing control methodologies to handle these problems in NCS. This survey paper presents recent NCS control techniques and also provides an overview on NCS structures and description of network delays including characteristics and effects are also covered.
