Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to provide a complete diagnostic profile of the role of delays in networked control systems (NCS). It analyzes the impact of delay sources on the stability and performance of NCS. With focus on the network induced delay, it is shown that the relationship between the sampling rate and the network induced delay can only be determined by simulation. An upper bound on the network delays using dynamic controllers is developed in terms of an LMI-feasibility problem that can be readily solved using semi-definite programming tools.
