Development of A Customizable Real-time Monitoring System for Networked Control Systems

The design and implementation of a monitoring system for networked control systems (NCSs) are introduced in this paper. The monitoring system is developed in the. NET framework using C# according to the C/S architecture which allows the user to monitor network nodes without geographical limitations. The widgets used to display come from the National Instruments (NI) suit and are integrated in the system by reconstructing it. The user is able to design a monitoring interface freely by creating and customizing widgets dynamically. During the monitoring, the display value of the widget is synchronized with parameters and signals of NCSs through receiving data asynchronously from network notes. In particular, all elements of the matrix widely used in NCSs are supported for monitoring. The functionality and feasibility of the designed monitoring system are demonstrated via a networked control experiment. In addition, the saved data can be used in data driven control and model identification.
