Abstract

This paper discusses the design and implementation of networked predictive control systems. A networked predictive control algorithm is proposed to compensate the network delay and achieve desired control performance of networked control systems. Two simulation schemes of networked control systems are presented: one is the off-line simulation scheme and the other is the real-time simulation scheme. Based on a networked control system test rig, the networked predictive control algorithm is implemented in a practical servo control system. The simulation and practical experiment results illustrate the efficiency and feasibility of the proposed networked predictive control algorithm and simulation schemes.
