Abstract This paper deals with the problem of fault detection for networked control systems in the stochastic environments. The packet dropout, networkinduced delay and out-of-order packets due to long delay are assumed to exist stochastically in the sensor-to-controller link and the controller-toactuator link. By assuming that the stochastic environment could be described as a homogeneous Markovian chain, the networked control system is modelled as a discrete-time, non-uniform sampling stochastic parameter-varying Markov jump system. Based on the model, the residual generator is developed and the problem of fault detection is formatted as a filtering problem. By using the theory of a Markovian jump linear system, a fault detection filter which makes the residual generation system stochastically stable is considered, and a prescribed disturbance attenuation level is satisfied. A sufficient condition to solve this problem is given in terms of the linear matrix inequalities. A numerical example shows that the proposed fault detection filter is sensitive to the fault but robust to exogenous disturbance.

Introduction With the rapid development of communication networks, conventional control system architectures have been evolving to modern networked control, and a great amount of effort has been devoted to the problems of networked control systems (NCSs). NCSs are control systems in which controller and plant are connected via a communication channel. A NCS integrates information, communications, and control into a single system in which control loops are closed over computer networks. Compared with conventional control systems, the networked control has a number of advantages, e.g. reduced cost, high resource utilization, simple installation and maintenance, increased system agility and reduced system wiring. Thus, it has received increasing interest in recent years. An introduction to networked control systems can be found (Tian and Levy, 2008; Yue et al., 2009). However, owing to the limitation of the network resources, the introduction of a communication network also brings some new problems and challenges, such as network-induced delay, data packet dropout, network scheduling and quantization problems, which all will inevitably degrade the performance of the NCSs and even cause system instability, and make analysis and synthesis of NCSs complex. The researches on NCSs have become important as international investigation focused on the automatic control domain, such as the control problem (Peng et al., 2011; Wang and Yang, 2011), the stability problem and stabilization problem (Zhang and Fang, 2011) of NCSs, and so on. Among these researches focusing on NCSs, the fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control of NCSs have received
extensive attention. A review of work in the fault diagnosis domain of NCSs can be seen (Fang et al., 2007; Aubrun et al., 2008). A fault detection (FD) approach to NCSs with network-induced and unknown input based on eigendecomposition, adaptive evaluation and adaptive thresholds is proposed (Wang et al., 2007). A new FD scheme for networked control systems subject to uncertain time-varying delay is discussed (Wang et al., 2008). The FD problems of NCSs with random packet dropout are developed (Wang et al., 2009a, 2009b). Peng et al. (2010) addressed the problem of the FD for linear time-invariant systems over data networks with limited network quality of service (QoS) and the FD error dynamic systems are transferred to Markov jumping systems. A set of Kronecker delta functions is employed to characterize the random measurement delays and the stochastic data missing phenomenon, and the FD filter is designed in solving a certain set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) (He et al., 2008, 2010). Li and Tang (2010) presented a new design approach to the fault diagnostor for NCSs by constructing a novel reduced-order state observer

522 of the augmented system, which can diagnose faults without using residual to embody faults. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, much literature has been reported about FD problem for NCSs, but most of published results on fault detection of NCSs considers either delay or packet dropouts by employing robust FD methods (Ding, 2008). One category of existing work assumes that the statistics of delay or packet dropouts are known (Zheng et al, 2006; He et al., 2008; Wang et al., 2009b). Another category transforms the influence of delay or packet dropouts into model uncertainties and unknown inputs (Wang et al., 2008, 2009b). Only a few results consider random network environments with network delay, packet dropouts and out-of-order packets simultaneously. This motivates us to study this interesting and challenging problem, which has great potential in practical applications. In this paper, the problems of modeling and fault detection for NCSs in a stochastic environment are considered, and the effect of the disturbance on the NCSs is also considered. Then the FD scheme is proposed and makes the residual generation system stochastically stable, and satisfies a prescribed disturbance attenuation level. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In the next section we give the system description and propose a mathematical model to describe the stochastic NCS. A FD filter is then considered. Next we give some main results and simulation results, which are followed by the conclusions.
Notation The notation used throughout the paper is standard. Here R and Rn3m denote n-dimensional Euclidean space and set of all n 3 m real matrices, respectively. For matrices or vectors, superscript T indicates transposition. For symmetric matrices, X . 0 (\ 0) indicates that X is positive definite (negative definite). In some partitioned symmetric matrices, the symbol generically denotes each of its symmetric blocks. We use l2 to denote the space of square summable sequences and E( ) to denote the expectation of ( ).

where x(t) 2 Rn , u(t) 2 Rs , y(t) 2 Rh are the state vector, the control input vector and the measurement output vector, respectively. The unknown input d(t) 2 Rp denotes modelling errors, or exogenous disturbance input or random noise, f (t) 2 Rq is the directly immeasurable fault signal vector. Without loss of generality, the l2 norms of u(t), d(t) and f (t) are assumed to be existing and bounded and A, B, C, D, F are real constant matrices of appropriate dimensions. Assumption 1. The sensor and actuator are clock driven and synchronized, the sampling period is T, and all measurement data packets are time-stamped. The actuator has a logic zeroorder hold (ZOH). Assumption 2. The controller is event driven and triggered by the arrival of a measurement data packet. Once the control data become available, it sends a control packet to the actuator of the control loop. The control packet carries the timestamps of the measurement and control data. Assumption 3. For any control loop, the measurement data of the plant is transmitted with a single packet and so is the control data. Assumption 4. No new control command is generated if a data packet is dropped out since the controller is event driven. In this paper, the signal adopted by the actuator will keep the previous input if no new control commands are updated at the actuator.
NCS model and problem statement
Remark 1. Under the aforementioned assumptions, here is no distinction between packet dropouts that occur in the sensorto-controller connection and the controller-to-actuator connection in the network. Indeed, for packet dropouts between the sensor and the controller (as shown the interval [(l + 7)T, (l + 8)T] in Figure 1) no new control update is computed by the controller, thus no new control input is sent to the actuator. In the case of packet dropouts between the controller and the actuator (as shown the interval [(l + 3)T, (l + 4)T] in Figure 1), the packet cannot be received by the actuator either.

the latest control packet. This implies that the logic ZOH discards all control packets but the most recent valid one (as shown in Figure 1). The actuator keeps its control signal unchanged until the output of the logic ZOH gets updated to a new value (Peng et al., 2011). An example of the timing diagram of data transmission of the considered NCS in a stochastic environment is shown in Figure 1, in which the two control signals shown in dashed lines are lost, and some signals are not used by the actuator due to the long delay and being out of order (as shown by (l + 1) and (l + 5)). It can be seen from the timing diagram that the control inputs acting on the actuator are different from one sampling interval to another, and thus the system models of the NCS vary from one sampling interval to another as the packet dropout situations change. In Figure 1, the tk (k = 1, 2, 3, . . . ) are some integers such that ft1 , t2 , t3 , . . .g f1, 2, 3, . . .g, and denote the time constant of the updating packet in the actuator side. Suppose that the time instants corresponding to two successively updating data packet are tk T and tk+1 T , respectively, with tk+1 T tk T = uk T (1 uk N ), then the results caused by delay, packet dropouts and being out of order can be regarded as non-uniform sampling with sampling intervals fuk T g at the actuator (Suplin et al., 2007; Wang et al., 2009b), and uk can be obtained from the time-stamp of the received control packet. Similar to the work of Wang et al. (2009b), the dynamics of the plant (1) at the time tk can be written as the following discrete-time Markov jump linear model (
x(k + 1) = A(uk )x(k) + B(uk )u(k) + D(uk )d(k) + F(uk )f (k) y(k) = Cx(k) ð2Þ kP 1

Fault detection filter design A typical FD system consists of a residual generator and a residual evaluation stage including an evaluation function and a threshold. For the purpose of residual generation, the following fault detection filter is used

constant matrices for all uk = i 2 Y. The matrices Ai := A(uk = i), Bi := B(uk = i), Di := D(uk = i) and Fi := F(uk = i), are known real constant matrices of appropriate dimensions. Remark 3. Although Equation (2) is obtained in a similar manner to the work of Wang et al. (2009b), the meaning of uk T is different. In Equation (2), uk T denotes the interval between two successfully received control packets at the actuator, and describes random character between the sensor–controller channel and controller–actuator channel, while uk T is assumed as the interval between two successive successfully received measurements at the controller and just

where ^x(k) 2 Rm is the state vector of the filter, yf (k) and rk are the input and output of the filter, respectively, the rk is the residual vector and Afi , Bfi , Cfi and Dfi are appropriately dimensioned filter matrices to be determined. Remark 4. The design idea of the FD filter is similar to the work of Yao et al. (2011). The filter of Yao et al. (2011) is designed to detect the faults of singular systems, while our paper deals with the problem of modelling and FD for networked control systems in stochastic environments. So the results of Yao et al. (2011) and our paper are different. Data packet dropout happens unavoidably in the network environment, so the measurements y(k) will drop randomly. In this paper, it is assumed that the data packet dropout is described by a Bernoulli stochastic variable ak with ak = 0 denoting the measurements dropout condition, ak = 1 the correct receiving condition. Here ak can be defined as Prfak = 1g = Efak g = a, Prfak = 0g = 1 Efak g = 1 a where a 2 R is a known positive scalar. The relationship between y(k) and yf (k) can be established, i.e.
A(uk T )
lij = Prfuk+1 = jjuk = ig
^x(k + 1) = Afi^x(k) + Bfi yf (k) rk = Cfi^x(k) + Dfi yf (k)
yf (k) = ak y(k)
ð4Þ
By the second expression of Equations (2), (3) and (4), the FD filter is to be the following form
^x(k + 1) = Afi^x(k) + ak Bfi Cx(k) rk = Cfi^x(k) + ak Dfi Cx(k)
ð5Þ
The objective of FD is to identify the fault f (k) when it appears. Similar to the cases presented by Gao et al. (2008), Zhong et al. (2005) and Yao et al. (2010), the introduction of a suitable weighting matrix G(s) is used to limit the frequency interval, in which the fault should be identified, and the system performance could be improved. Here we have the equation ~f (s) = G(s)f (s), where f (s) and ~f (s) denote the Laplace transforms of f (t) and ~f (t), respectively. One state space realization of ~f (s) = G(s)f (s) can be
~x(k + 1) = Aw~x(k) + Bw f (k) ~f (k) = Cw ~x(k) + Dw f (k)
ð6Þ
where ~x(k) 2 Rr is the state vector, and Aw , Bw , Cw and Dw are chosen correspondingly.

When some faults are detected, we can reconfigure the control law to compensate for the faults based on the Markovian jump system model. Meanwhile, by using the guaranteed cost control approach according to the performance index (12) and online controller switching based on the system model, the fault-tolerant control strategies based on the present filter in our paper can be designed to ensure stability of the closed-loop networked control system at all times. The issue of fault-tolerant control may become the topic of our future work.
In this section, we illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed methods with a numerical example. We consider a linear timeinvariant system (1) with the following parameters described by Peng et al. (2010)

Assume that the sampling period of the random NCS is T = 0:01, the finite state space of the Markov chain is Y = f1, 2, 3g. By some calculation, the Markovian jump system model is obtained as (2) with the following parameters in different modes

which implies that (W3i1 W4i )1 can be viewed as a similarity transformation on the state space realization of the filter and has no effect on the filter mapping form yf (k) to rk . Without loss of generality, we may set (W3i1 W4i )1 = I, thus leading to (18). The proof is complete. u From Theorem 2, the parameters of the FD filter (3) can be obtained.

This is reasonable, as smaller a implies a higher chance of measurements missing, and thus worse disturbance attenuation performance g.

Conclusions In this paper, the discussion has been based on NCSs under stochastic environments. A FD approach for NCSs has been presented. Considering the stochastic characters of NCSs with packet dropout, network-induced delay, and out-of-order packets, we deal with them by modelling the NCSs as a discrete-time, non-uniform sampling stochastic parametervarying Markov jump system. Then by using a design method for the FD filter, which makes the residual generation system stochastically stable and a sufficient condition is obtained by solving this problem in terms of LMI. At last, a numerical simulation example is given to illustrate our results, and which can detect the occurrence of a fault in a very short time. There are some further research topics. Similar to linear systems, new fault diagnosis theory for nonlinear NCSs should also be developed.
