Communications for Control in Cyber Physical Systems

Chapter 4

Typical cyber physical systems

Abstract

In this chapter, two typical cyber physical systems (CPSs) are detailed to illustrate the key issues in CPSs. For power systems, the corresponding dynamics, communication, and protection are explained. For robotic networks, useful models of dynamics and communications are provided.

4.1 Introduction

In this chapter, we introduce several typical cyber physical systems (CPSs), such as power networks and robotic networks. For each typical CPS, we focus on the following aspects:

• Physical dynamics: We will introduce the background of the CPS and formulate the mathematical models, in particular the differential equations, ...
