Design and practical implementation of networked predictive control systems

The design, simulation and implementation of networked predictive control systems is presented in this paper. A novel control strategy of networked control systems, which is termed the networked predictive control, is proposed. The off-line and real-time simulation of the networked predictive control systems is detailed. Also, this control strategy is applied to a servo control system through Ethernet. Various simulation and experimental results demonstrate the operation of the networked predictive control systems.
