Abstract

The stochastic reliable control problem for networked control systems (NCSs) subject to actuator failure and input saturation is investigated in this paper. In order to get the relationship between the maximum allowable consecutive packet dropouts, the packet dropout probability, the actuator failure matrix and the input saturation, a packet dropout probability dependent condition is given via linear matrix inequality (LMI) technology. Then, a suitable reliable controller is designed to ensure the closed-loop system to be exponentially mean square stable against actuator failures and input saturation. Finally, numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
