A Self-Organizing Network Model Based on Industrial Networked Control Systems

In order to improve the flexibility and scalability of industrial networked control systems (INCSs), this paper proposes a self-organizing network model, where it allows for INCSs configuring parameters automatically with the mapping relationship among network communication and control loops. Moreover, field devices can satisfy plug-and-play based on this model. Research shows that INCSs, based on self-organization model, can be suitable for the dynamic changes and the average time of self-organization gradually reduce with the increasing nodes.
