Frequency Transmission Control of Local Networked Control Systems Approach

Abstract

The use of Network Control Systems has been successful in the industry and therefore has opened several lines of

research. Control systems over a communication network include two important considerations, control and

scheduling. Co-design strategies are focused on maintaining adequate control performance and maximize the level of

service. Network scheduling is the main objective to resolve because through a balanced data load is possible to

maintain control performance in a desired level. This article reviews a scheduling strategy based on frequency

transition modeled as a linear subsystem, this control reconfigure on line the sensors’ periods. The case of study is

the control of a prototype helicopter and by numerical simulations it shows the effect of changing the transmission

frequency.
