Abstract
This paper is concerned with the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) output-feedback control problem for a class of linear discrete-time systems under event-triggered protocols. The controller and the actuators are connected through a communication network of limited bandwidth, and an event-triggered communication mechanism is adopted to decide when a certain control signal should be transmitted to the respective actuator. Furthermore, a novel PID output-feedback controller is designed where the accumulative sum-loop (the counterpart to the integral-loop in the continues-time setting) operates on a limited time-window with hope to mitigate the effect from the past measurement data. The main objective of the problem under consideration is to design a desired PID controller such that the closed-loop system is exponentially stable and the prescribed disturbance rejection attenuation level is guaranteed under event-triggered protocols. By means of the Lyapunov stability theory combined with the orthogonal decomposition, sufficient conditions are established under which the addressed PID controller design problem is recast into a linear convex optimization one that can be easily solved via available software packages. Finally, a simulation example is exploited to illustrate the usefulness and effectiveness of the established control scheme.
