Network-based precise tracking control of systems subject to stochastic failure and non-zero input

Abstract

This study deals with the problem of reliable precise tracking control for the networked control system with non-zero external inputs (NEIs). A new control scheme is developed by introducing an integral item in the control law and taking stochastic actuator failure (SAF) into account, by which a better steady tracking performances can be achieved. Based on Lyapunov theory, a reliable control design method that guarantees the network-based tracking control systems with zero steady-state error in the conditions of both NEIs and SAFs is designed. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed controller design scheme. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2013.
