A retunable PID multi-rate controller for a networked control system

This paper introduces a control strategy based on retuning a multi-rate PID controller in accordance with the variable delays detected in a networked control system, in order to avoid a decreased control performance. The basic idea is minimising the first-order Taylor terms of a performance measure via gain scheduling, i.e., making the controller gains delay dependent. As network delay is time-variant, the stability of this control approach will be proved by means of linear matrix inequalities.
