Event-Driven Fault Detection for Discrete-Time Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Systems

This article considers the event-driven fault detection (FD) problem for discrete-time interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy networked control systems (NCSs) with nonlinear perturbations. To reduce signal transmission, an event-driven mechanism in the NCSs is introduced. A novel FD fuzzy filter is designed for generating a residual signal and detecting actuator faults by considering the event-driven strategy, nonlinear perturbations, communication delay, and mismatched membership functions. It is shown that the proposed event-driven FD technique is effective to optimize performance compared with the existing FD strategy. Finally, two examples are presented to verify the advantages of the novel design technique.
