Finite-time Sliding Mode Fault-tolerant Control for Networked Control Systems With Intermittent Fault Under Event-triggered Scheme

This paper is focused on the finite-time sliding mode fault-tolerant control problem for a class of discrete networked control systems with intermittent fault and time-varying delay under the event-triggered scheme. The intermittent fault is described as a randomly occurring fault obeying a Bernoulli distribution. The event-triggered mechanism is introduced to determine the transmission of signal, which can conserve communication resources and reduce network burdens. By means of the sliding mode observer method, a linear sliding mode function is constructed by employing the estimated state and fault information. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, sufficient criteria are derived, which can ensure the closed-loop system is finite-time bounded with pre-specified H∞ performance requirement satisfied. Then, the event-triggered observer-based sliding mode fault-tolerant controller is established to force the system state trajectories onto a pre-set sliding mode region. Afterward, the solvability of the non-convex problem is studied by testifying the feasibility of a minimization problem. Finally, a practice simulation result is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results.
