In this paper, an active fault tolerant control (FTC) strategy is presented for linear dynamic systems. The robust observer-based fault detection and isolation (FDI) systems are applied to guide the reconfiguration of controller parameters to achieve the optimal control performance during different operating conditions of the system: fault-free, fault detected and fault isolated. The selection of design parameters is achieved using the linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization technique.
