Fault-tolerant control of continuous-variable systems

  • Chapter
Diagnosis and Fault-Tolerant Control

Abstract

Fault-tolerant control does not yet comprise a unique theoretic framework but employs specific ideas to treat the different problems. This chapter gives an overview of the available methods for dealing with faults in sensors, actuators and within the controlled system. The earlier results on diagnosis are employed to automatically re-design the control law. Small faults can be tackled by fault accommodation, where the controller parameters are adapted to the parameters of the faulty plant. When accommodation cannot be used like in the case of an actuator or sensor break-down, the control loop has to be reconfigured and new controller parameters determined.
