This paper deals with the discrete event-triggered robust fault-tolerant control problem for uncertain nonlinear networked control systems (NNCSs) withα-safety degree. A discrete event-triggered communication scheme (DETCS) is initially proposed, and a closed-loop fault model is subsequently established for NNCSs with actuator saturation under the DETCS. Based on an appropriately constructed delay-dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii function, sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the asymptotic stability of NNCSs under two different event-triggered conditions and are established as the contractively invariant sets of fault tolerance withα-safety degree. Furthermore, codesign methods between the robust fault-tolerant controller and event-triggered weight matrix are also proposed in terms of linear matrix inequality. The simulation shows that the resultant closed-loop fault NNCSs possesses a high safety margin, and an improved dynamic performance, as well as a reduced communication load. A comparative analysis of the two event-triggered conditions is discussed in the experiment section.
