Abstract

System architectures of networked control systems are described and classified. The overall classification starts with distinguishing multilevel systems and distributed systems. At any particular level of a multilevel system, even of a one-level distributed system, one can distinguish the graph of the system network: A ring network, a line network, a grid network, etc. Systems can further be distinguished in their interaction relations. Control theory can benefit from this classification by focusing for control synthesis on each class separately.
