Abstract
The focus of this chapter is the design of model-based controllers for tracking of external reference inputs and the analysis of performance of the Model-Based Networked Control System (MB-NCS) under the main communication constraint studied in this book which is the absence of feedback measurements for extended periods of time. In general, the exact tracking of a reference input in a Networked Control System (NCS) is a difficult problem mainly because we can measure and use feedback only at discrete-time instants. The difficulty is increased if there is uncertainty in the plant parameters since control methodologies that achieve a zero steady-state error rely on the exact knowledge of these parameters. In this chapter a controller is designed based on the model of the plant. An MB-NCS configuration is used for the analysis of the resulting NCS that includes the model, the controller, and the plant.
