In literature, extensive research has been done with respect to synthesis of supervisory controllers. Such synthesized supervisors can be distributed for implementation on multiple physical controllers. This paper discusses a method for distributing a synthesized supervisory controller. In this method, dependency structure matrices are used to distribute a system, the supervisor is then distributed accordingly, using existing localization theory. The existence of communication delays between supervisory controllers is unavoidable in a distributed application. The influence of these delays on the behavior of a supervisor is therefore studied using delay robustness theory. This paper introduces the use of mutex algorithms to make the distributed supervisor delay-robust. A case study is used to demonstrate the method and hardware in the loop testing is used to validate the resulting distributed supervisor.

具有通信延迟的分布式监控控制器的综合与实现

在文献中，已经对监督控制器的综合进行了广泛的研究。可以分发此类综合管理程序，以在多个物理控制器上实施。本文讨论了一种用于分配综合监督控制器的方法。在这种方法中，依赖结构矩阵用于分配系统，然后使用现有的本地化理论相应地分配管理程序。在分布式应用程序中，不可避免地需要监督控制器之间存在通信延迟。因此，使用延迟鲁棒性理论研究了这些延迟对管理者行为的影响。本文介绍了互斥算法的使用，以使分布式主管具有时延鲁棒性。
