Abstract This paper is devoted to the event‐triggered fault‐tolerant bounded consensus tracking control for switched multi‐agent systems (MASs) with full‐state constraints and actuator faults. By using backstepping technology and fuzzy logic systems (FLSs), an event‐triggered fault‐tolerant control (FTC) scheme is constructed for switched MASs for the first time, which compensates the impact of actuator faults on the system and significantly reduces the updating frequency of controllers. The asynchronous switching error compensation functions are introduced into the designed controller and triggering mechanism, which solves the asynchronous switching problem prompted by the interaction of triggering and switching together effectively. In the meantime, the system states are restricted within the given sets under the barrier Lyapunov functions (BLFs). All the closed‐loop signals are bounded and the bounded consensus tracking control is realized with average dwell time (ADT). Finally, an example of chemical reactors is established for demonstrating the effectiveness of the developed scheme.
