Networked Control System (NCS) is a method composed of physically shared smart devices that can observe the surroundings, work on it, and converse with one another by means of a communication system to attain a widespread purpose. Characteristic examples that fall into this section are Wireless Sensors and Actuators Networks (WSANs) for ecological analyzing and checking, multi-vehicle systems for composed investigation, camera systems for observation, multicamera facilitated movement catch, shrewd lattices for vitality circulation and the executives, and so forth. NCSs changes from increasingly customary control systems as a result of their interdisciplinary which needs the combination of control hypothesis, correspondences, software engineering and programming designing. Plenty of communication modes are available from telephone lines, cell phone networks, satellite networks and most widely used is internet. The choice of network depends upon the application to be served. Internet is the most suitable and inexpensive choice for many applications where the plant and the controller are far from each other. The troubles present in the structure of control systems that are solid to correspondence parameters like transfer speed, arbitrary deferral and packet loss, to computational parameters in light of the tremendous amount of information to be handled or to the mutual idea of the detecting and control to ongoing execution on limited resources and due to the unpredictability to the huge number of untrustworthy agent present. With the limited measure of data transmission accessible, it is improved to use it ideally and proficiently. This further raises the requirement for need choices issue for controlling a series of actuators for a progression of tasks. The proposed methodology deals broadly made in two distinct directions. The first direction aims at a control theoretical analysis while considering the network as a constant parameter like special controllers and altering the sampling rate. The second direction aims the design of new communication network infrastructures, algorithms or protocols like designing static and dynamic message scheduling algorithms. This method combines both directions and depends on the well- recognized results in both communication networks and control theory

Abstract The networked control systems (NCS) have grown in popularity in recent years. Despite their advantages over the traditional control schemes, some of their drawbacks emerged as well (time delays, packet losses). There are several ways of dealing with the time delays and packet losses in NCS, but only a few authors have ever used type-2 fuzzy controllers for this purpose to our knowledge. This paper is aimed at dealing with the negative effects that occur in NCS, by using type-2 fuzzy control systems. It is presented that this approach can be successfully used to decrease the effects of time delays and packet losses. A type-2 fuzzy controller has been designed and compared to a type-1 fuzzy controller. The intervals of type-2 fuzzy controller were optimized via genetic algorithm.
