The fault diagnosis (FD) and fault tolerant control (FTC) problem of the fuzzy stochastic distribution system (SDS) over packet dropout and time delay is studied. Firstly, the static model of linear fuzzy logic system that approximates the output PDF and the dynamic model with the multiplicative fault in a fuzzy system are established. The random packet dropout and time delay caused by the network are described in a unified framework, in which the lost data is compensated with the latest data received by the buffer. On this basis, an adaptive observer is devised to estimate the unknown multiplicative fault. The design of sliding mode predictive fault tolerant controller is discussed to ensure that the system still has good tracking performance after the fault occurs. Numerical simulations on a molecular weight distribution control system are supplied to prove the effectiveness of the presented scheme. <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Note to Practitioners</i> —The motivation of this paper is to improve the reliability of the fuzzy stochastic distribution system with packet dropout and time delay. This kind of stochastic distribution systems is described by the relationship between the input and the output PDF rather than the normal relationship between the input and the output. When the multiplicative fault occurs in the system, the design of fault diagnosis strategy and fault-tolerant controller becomes an important challenge, especially when the system is subject to packet dropout and time delay. To address the above problems, a new fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control scheme is proposed, which can accurately estimate the time and size of the fault and obtain the satisfactory fault-tolerant control effect.
