Networked Control System: Development and Prospect

The feedback control system, which is closed loop through the real time network, is called the networked control system. Because of the existence of the control loop network, the analysis and design of the networked control system become complex. The traditional control theory should be re-evaluated before it can be applied to the networked control system. A large number of literatures and research works have focused on the analysis and design of networked control system from different perspectives. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the current research status of networked control system, discuss and point out the future development issues and problems to be solved.
