Abstract

In this paper, a fault tolerant control with the consideration of actuator fault for a networked control system (NCS) with packet loss is addressed. The NCS with data packet loss can be described as a switched system model. Packet loss dependent Lyapunov function is used and a fault tolerant controller is proposed respectively for arbitrary packet loss process and Markovian packet loss process. Considering a controlled plant with external energy-bounded disturbance, a robust H ∞ fault tolerant controller is designed for the NCS. These results are also expanded to the NCS with packet loss and networked-induced delay. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
