The use of communication networks in control systems has several important advantages, such as the ability of information transfer and remote control of various objects, the possibility of modifications and maintenance. On the other hand, the time between reading measurements from the sensor and sending a control signal to the actuator depends on the network characteristics (topology and routing scheme), and such a time delay can greatly affect the overall network performance. Delays, distortions and loss of transmitted data not only degrade the performance of the network management system, but also destabilize it. The paper considers the use of Petri nets as a method for modeling networked control systems (NCS) on the example of designing an active suspension control system for a car. When modeling, the star and common bus topologies were used, the comparison of which revealed that control systems with the common bus topology function 40% faster than systems with the star topology.
