This paper investigates the co-design problem of both robust integrity and the usage of communication resources for a class of actuator-saturated networked control system(NCS) based on a novel discrete event-triggered communication scheme(DETCS). First, a new model of NCS is established that parameter uncertainty, network-induced delay, actuator saturation and faults, and the state error arising from the DETCS are taken into consideration in a unified framework. Second, based on the model, the set of invariance condition of the closed-loop fault NCS with actuator saturation is proposed, which is the delay-dependent and event-dependent sufficient condition for ensuring the system stability. Then, a co-design approach which includes both robust fault-tolerant controller and the corresponding trigger weight matrix is given via linear matrix inequalities. The reciprocally convex combination lemma and the improved Jensen integral inequality are employed to deal with the derivative terms of the Lyapunov-Krasovakii functional, which can reduce the conservatism and computation of the results. Finally, a simulation example is used to demonstrate the advantage and the effectiveness of the proposed co-design approach, meanwhile, the quantitative relationship between the system performance and the communication resources is provided.
