| Summary: | In certain applications, one needs to control physical plants that operate in hazardous conditions. In such situations, it is necessary to acquire access to the controller from a different (remote) location through data communication networks, in order to interconnect the remote location and the controller. The use of such network linking between the plant and the controller may introduce network delays, which would affect adversely the performance of the process control. The main theoretical contribution of this thesis is to answer the following question: How large can a network delay be tolerated such that the delayed closed-loop system is locally asymptotically stable? An explicit time-independent bound for the delay is derived. In addition, various practical realizations for the remote control tasks are presented, utilizing a set of predefined classes for serial communication, data-acquisition modules and stream-based sockets. Due to the presence of a network, implementing an efficient control scheme is a not trivial problem. Hence, two practical frameworks for Internet-based control are illustrated in this thesis. Related implementation issues are addressed in detail. Examples and case studies are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposal approach. | |
