Abstract
This work studies the event-triggered control problem for networked control systems. The plant is controlled directly by a dynamic local controller, which receives the reference control signal from the remote controller. The measurement signal of the plant and the reference control signal of the remote controller have their separate event triggers, and thus the remote controller and the local controller can decide when to transmit signals on their own. It is proved that with the proposed control approach and the dual event triggers, the closed loop system is globally asymptotically stable, which has been illustrated by simulation results.
