Abstract
For Networked Control Systems (NCSs), the conventional Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) may not applicable due to the unknown transmission delay. The uncertain time delay was usually converted to constant time delay by using registers. This paper addresses the stability problem for single-input-single-output (SISO) linear NCSs with uncertain time delay via DMC controller. A novel DMC controller which is effective for such NCSs has been proposed. Applying Jury’s dominant coefficient lemma, the sufficient stability and stabilization conditions are presented. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the theoretical results.
