Internet-based Control Systems addresses the challenges that need to be overcome before the Internet can be beneficially used not only for remote control and monitoring of industrial plants but also of domestic appliances and in medicine and education. New design issues such as requirement specification, architecture selection and user-interface design are dealt with. Irregular data transmission and data loss, and whole-system instability may result from Internettime-delay; this book guards against such phenomena. Specific advice for avoiding security breaches in an Internet-based control system are given. Practical perspectives are explored both through case studies in several chapters and through real applications including: virtual supervision parameter control of a water tank system; model predictive control for a process control unit; remote integration of real-time software; robot arm control; simulator for a catalytic reactor; and monitoring and control of a home environment." Shows the reader how to use the already ubiquitous Internet as a means of communicating control instructions without having to spend money on a dedicated special networkDeals with security issues to prevent Internet control systems being compromised Covers a variety of real applications which can be used as exemplars for implementing Internet control INDICE: Introduction.- Requirements Specification for Internet-based Control Systems.- Internet-based Control System Architecture Design.- Web-based User Interface Design.- Real-time Data Transfer over the Internet.- Dealing with Internet Transmission Delay and Packet Loss.- Stability Analysis of Networked Control Systems.- Safety and Security.- Remote Condition Monitoring.- Remote Design, Testing and Maintenance.- Applications.- Conclusions.
