Abstract

In an ICCS (Integrated Communication and Control System) as described in
the part I of this paper, the controller-plant communication is made through a shared
medium. As there is not an exclusive link, it is difficult to guarantee the synchronisation
of sensor, controller and actuator. The time skew between the sample, control and
application instants in combination with the random access delay causes a loss of
information that can unstable the system. This second part proposes a solution, using the
multirate controller, to adjust the system behaviour to the desired reference model in the
presence of the time skew.
