Control over Communications Networks Dawn Tilbury
11:00 AM to 12:00 PM Steele 114 (CDS Library) Networked control systems are becoming increasingly popular in industrial applications. The network hardware costs are going down and the available bandwidth is increasing at a rapid pace. A networked control architecture allows for more complex control strategies, on-line adaptation, and sophisticated diagnostics than are possible with traditional point-to-point implementations. Reconfiguration of the system and addition of new sensing capabilities is also considerably easier with a networked control strategy, Although it was originally designed as a communication network, Ethernet is rapidly emerging as the control network of choice due to its low cost and high bandwidth. |
