Overview of Networked Control Systems

  • Chapter

Abstract

Networked control systems (NCS) have been one of the main research focuses in academia as well as in industrial applications for many decades. NCS has taken the form of a multidisciplinary area. In this chapter, we introduce NCS and the different forms of NCS. The history of NCS, different advantages of having such systems are the starting points of the chapter. Furthermore, the chapter gives an insight to different challenges which come with building efficient, stable and secure NCS. The chapter talks about different fields and research arenas, which are part of NCS and which work together to deal with different NCS issues. A brief literature survey concerning each topic is also included in the chapter. iSpace is the test-bed for NCS and it attends the practical issues and implementation of NCS. At the end, iSpace at ADAC is presnted as a case study for NCS with different experimental results.
