Abstract
Due to properties of flexibility, adaptiveness, error tolerance, and time-determinism performance, the FlexRay communication protocol has been widely used to investigate robot systems and new generation of automobiles. In this paper, with the FlexRay communication protocol, the tracking problem of a class of cyber-physical systems are investigated by developing a general hybrid model, in which an emulation controller is utilized. Based on the proposed hybrid model, some sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the convergence of tracking errors. Then, the maximum allowable transmission interval (MATI) of the static/dynamic segment is obtained with a more general formula than the ones in some the previous works. The obtained MATI over the FlexRay communication network can be adjusted via the appropriate length of the static/dynamic segment, which reflects the flexibility of FlexRay. Finally, the results are verified by considering the tracking problem of a single-link robot arm system as well as the stabilization of a batch reactor system.
