Real-time random delay compensation with prediction-based digital redesign

Today’s technological demands require challenging control solutions such as real-time applications of Networked Control System (NCS). However, due to communication protocol and shared data bus, NCS experiences uncertain and unpredictable time delays in both input and output channels. These delays cause asynchronization between the controller and the plant thereby degrading the performance of closed-loop control systems. To address this problem, this paper proposes to utilize digital redesign technique to provide real-time random delay compensation.
