Abstract
In this paper, the design and the implementation of a stabilising feedback law for an engine throttle valve system are investigated while taking into account the digital communication over the vehicle network. In particular, the digital communication between sensors, controller, and actuators is studied using the event-triggered theory. Considering the sampled-data nature of the closed-loop system, the emulation approach is used to synthesise the control law to stabilise the plant in the continuous-time domain. Next, we provide a systematic methodology to derive, both, time-triggering and event-triggering rules such that the closed-loop stability is preserved. The approach is illustrated by simulation on the dynamic model of the throttle valve system.
