Abstract
This chapter introduces a brief description of Networked Control Systems. A formal review of this book is given, describing the key issues within each chapter. A review of the strategies present in the literature is made to study and compensate for the network imperfections presenting three main methodologies. The control methodology focuses on generating control signals that counteract the effects of the network imperfections through modelling its dynamics or considering them as uncertainties. The communication methodology aims to improve the transmission of information and minimise imperfections through the scheduling and synchronisation of the nodes present in the network as a function of the system performance. The co-design methodology considers increasing the advantages of the various methodologies with the purpose of increasing system performance and minimising the effects of network imperfections. It is also presented the time delay modelling in nondeterministic networks, the main imperfection of the network. Finally, the maximum allowed transfer interval term is described which is the maximum bound for time imperfections of the network.
