Abstract

Co-design of control and communication is critical to enhancing the control performance of industrial Cyber-Physical System (ICPS). However, the stochastic features of non-deterministic communication strategies in existing works limit control performance improvement. This paper proposes a centralized-control and deterministic-transmission co-design architecture for multi-subsystem ICPS over Time-Sensitive Network (TSN). Packet-wise no-wait transmission scheduling is devised to enable fine-grained scheduling for deterministic delays of the control system data. An integrated system model for the co-design architecture is constructed by integrating scheduling variables into the control system model, which enables simultaneous optimization of the control and transmission strategies for improving the feasible solution space and control performance. Co-design problem based on the integrated model is formulated as mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem. A Tabu-search-based heuristic algorithm is proposed to obtain near-optimal solutions efficiently for the co-design problem. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively improves control performance compared with best-effort transmission without co-design.
