Multi-Node Fault-Tolerant Two-Cell Real-Time S2A Network

چکیده
This paper presents a novel fault-tolerant networked control system architecture consisting of two cells working in-line. This architecture is fault-tolerant at the level of the controllers as well as the sensors. Each cell is based on the sensor-to-actuator approach and has an additional supervisor node. It is proven, via analysis as well as OMNeT++ simulations that the production line succeeds in meeting all control system requirements with no dropped or over-delayed packets. A reliability analysis is then undertaken to quantitatively estimate the increase in reliability due to the introduction of fault-tolerance.

متن کاملEvaluating the Performance of Fault-Tolerant S2A vs. In-Loop Controller Models for Ethernet-Based NCS
Two different controller-level fault-tolerant models for Ethernet-based Networked Control Systems (NCSs) are presented in this paper. These models are studied using unmodified Fast and Gigabit Ethernet. The first is an in-loop controller model while the second is a direct Sensor to Actuator (S2A) model. OMNeT++ simulations showed the success of both models in meeting system end-to-end delay and...
