Fuzzy observer based Fault Detection for Network Control Systems with Periodic Actuation Tasks

Varying time delays, packet loss and variable sampling interval degrade the performance of control loops closed over communication networks, (Networked Control System, NCS), the problem is more complicated with is necessary to detect faults because is possible to confuse a fault with a network imperfection effect. To compensate the negative effects of network and get good fault detection, in this paper we propose a fuzzy observer for networked control systems with synchronization at the actuation node to detect fault. Using the one-shot model has some benefits such as consider delays longer than actuation period instead of consider delays less than sampling period and variable sampling interval.
