Networked Control Systems: Emulation-based Design

  • Chapter

Abstract

A common approach to the implementation of digital systems is through the emulation of idealized continuous-time blocks in order to be able to leverage the rich expanse of results and design tools available in the continuous-time domain. The so-called sampled-data systems are now commonplace in practice and rely upon results that ensure that many properties of the nominal continuous-time system, including notions of stability, are preserved under sampling when certain conditions are verified. In analogy with (fast) sampled-data design, this chapter explores an emulation-based approach to the analysis and design of networked control systems (NCS). To that end, we survey a selection of emulation-type NCS results in the literature and highlight the crucial role that scheduling between disparate components of the control systems plays, above and beyond sampling. We detail several different properties that scheduling protocols need to verify together with appropriate bounds on inter-transmission times such that various notions of input-output stability of the nominal “network-free” system are preserved when deployed as an NCS.
