Purpose – The purpose of this paper is with robust control problem for event-triggered networked control systems (NCSs) with actuator failures and time-varying transmission delays. Design/methodology/approach – A random sequence is introduced to describe the actuator faults, and a novel event-triggering communication scheme is adopted in the sensor-to-controller channel. By taking the event-triggered mechanism and network transmission delay into consideration, a delay system model is constructed. Findings – Based on Lyapunov stability theory and free weighting matrix method, the feasibility criteria for co-designing both the controller gain and the trigger parameters are derived. Finally, a simulation example is exploited to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) approach. Originality/value – The introduced approach is interesting for NCSs with actuator failures and time-varying transmission delays.

Purpose This paper is concerned with non-fragile robust H∞ control problems for nonlinear networked control systems (NCSs) with time-varying delay and unknown actuator failures. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The system parameters are allowed to have time-varying uncertainties and the actuator faults are unknown but whose upper and lower bounds are known. By using some lemmas, uncertainties can be replaces with the known values. By taking the exogenous disturbance and network transmission delay into consideration, a delay nonlinear system model is constructed. Findings Based on Lyapunov stability theory, linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and free weighting matrix methods, the sufficient conditions for the existence of the non-fragile robust H∞ controller gain are derived and which can obtained by solving the LMIs. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. Originality/value The introduced approach is interesting for NCSs with time-varying delay and unknown actuator failures.

For networked control systems, the bandwidth resource is always limited; thus besides control performance, the efficient resource utilization is also crucial. In this paper, a novel event-triggered control and resource scheduling codesign approach is proposed to stabilize the uncertain dynamic systems which are subject to time-varying network introduced delays. A discrete switched system with uncertain parameters is employed to model the event-triggered control system with time-varying network-induced delays. Based on the model, a control law, scheduling strategy, and event-triggered condition codesign approach is investigated. A set of linear matrix inequalities are used to tackle the codesign problem. As the solution to the problem, a control law is obtained to guarantee stability or certain performance properties; an event-triggered condition and a scheduling strategy are also obtained to efficiently utilize the limited resources. That is, the event-triggered condition makes the network accession be triggered when it is necessary. The scheduling strategy guarantees the control loop suffering the worst control performance can get the authority to access the network. The proposed approach is evaluated through simulated experiments, with respect to the networked control of inverted pendulums. The results show that the proposed event-triggered control and scheduling approach can achieve better control performances with lower average resource consumption in comparison with the time-based control strategy.

This paper investigates the event-triggered H∞ control for networked control systems under the denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. First, a novel system model is established considering random, time-constraint DoS attacks. Second, an event-triggered scheme including an off-time is proposed to reduce the unnecessary occupation of network resources, with which a prescribed minimum inter-triggering time is guaranteed and Zeno problem is avoided. Third, sufficient conditions for the existence of an event-triggered controller which ensures the exponential stability of the closed-loop system with desired H∞ performance are formulated in linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is examined by two illustrative examples, where a real communication network based on the ZigBee protocol is utilized.
