Sliding Mode Observer-Based Fault Detection of Distributed Networked Control Systems with Time Delay

摘要

This paper considers the fault detection problem of distributed networked control systems (DNCS) with time delay. A sliding mode observer-based fault detection method for a two-level DNCS is presented and two different situations are considered. When all the states of the system are available for measurement, we convert the fault detection problem to a sliding motion stable and reachable problem. When some states of system are not available for measurement, we design a transformation matrix to separate the measurable states and the unknown states, and then different sliding mode observers for those unknown states are developed to achieve fault detection. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method with simulation results.
