Wireless Network Control Systems. From Theory to Practice

As technology advances, different areas of knowledge merge and others appear, such as Wireless Network Control Systems (WNCS), which are physically distributed systems, where sensors and actuators communicate with the controller through wireless networks, i. e. control systems that close their control loop through the cloud. This text provides information on the concepts and characteristics of wireless networked control systems, to support the theoretical basis on which an alternative PID controller based on events with estimators for linear systems and heuristic tuning algorithms will be presented, also reviews and describes two applications where the model of the plant on which a predictive controller will be implemented is determined, also presents in detail the implementations made.
