Fault Tolerant Control

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Fault Tolerant Control Schemes Using Integral Sliding Modes

Part of the book series: Studies in Systems, Decision and Control ((SSDC,volume 61))

Abstract

Control is used extensively in industry where it plays an important role in increasing productivity, but it is required to operate safely—especially where interaction with humans takes place. Particularly in safety critical systems like chemical plants, nuclear reactors, aircraft etc., reliability of the system is very important. Broadly speaking, control systems that have such capabilities, are termed Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) systems. In this chapter, different terminologies used in the FTC literature are defined, the concepts of faults and failures are distinguished, and their classification is explained.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The definition of a fault given in this section is in compliance with the definition given in [1].

  2. 2.

    See for example [1].

  3. 3.

    In modern fly-by-wire passenger aircraft [4], sensors measuring the actuator deflections provide this information to local monitoring schemes.

  4. 4.

    PFTC systems are also called reliable control systems in the literature [5].
