Abstract This paper is aimed at reducing network load for saving bandwidth by designing appropriate trigger signals that decide when the transmission should be done. An event‐triggered piecewise continuous systems (PCS) based control for time‐varying trajectory tracking is proposed. By designing the sensor system and controller system, the communication between them is reduced while still retaining a satisfactory closed‐loop behavior of the whole system. The major idea behind a designed sensor system is the use of a Luenberger observer and planning of event‐triggered mechanism (ETM). The main principle behind the designed controller system is the proposal of a new event‐triggered PCS based controller. The development is motivated by consideration of variable network induced time delays. Tracking error is proved to be norm‐bounded in both the original and developed case. Finally, to show the proposed method's performance, we present the simulation results for a mobile cart.
