Protocol-based fault detection for state-saturated systems with sensor nonlinearities and redundant channels.

This paper is concerned with the protocol-based fault detection (FD) issue for state-saturated delayed nonlinear systems with both redundant channels and sensor nonlinearities. Specifically, in pursuit of relieving the communication pressure, the stochastic communication protocol is adopted, which can regulate the transmission of output signal during the communication process. Moreover, for the purpose of decreasing the negative impact of one channel failure on network communication and enhancing data reliability, the redundant channels transmission is introduced. Then, the protocol-based FD filter is constructed such that the resultant FD dynamics system attains the global asymptotic stability in mean-square sense and satisfies the H ∞ performance index. Moreover, an implement-to-easy algorithm is developed to facilitate the solvability of the desirable FD filtering method. In the end, two illustrative examples are utilized to demonstrate the validity of the developed FD filtering algorithm. • The stochastic communication protocol is adopted to regulate the network communication. • The redundant channels transmission mechanism is introduced into the signal communication process. • New sufficient criteria are derived to assure the existence of desirable FD filtering scheme for state-saturated systems.
