Since the existing single-layer networked control systems have some inherent limitations and cannot effectively handle the problems associated with unreliable networks, a novel two-layer networked learning control system (NLCS) is proposed in this paper. Its lower layer has a number of local controllers that are operated independently, and its upper layer has a learning agent that communicates with the independent local controllers in the lower layer. To implement such a system, a packet-discard strategy is firstly developed to deal with network-induced delay and data packet loss. A cubic spline interpolator is then employed to compensate the lost data. Finally, the output of the learning agent based on a novel radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is used to update the parameters of fuzzy controllers. A nonlinear heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system is used to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed system.
This paper proposes a global stabilization method for a class of planar switched systems with input saturation constrains by using a state feedback and switching strategy.This method is proved to be effective by analyzing the characteristics of the trajectory of second-order linear systems with input saturation.
