Wireless instrumentation has been used in networked control systems (NCS), generating a control architecture with wireless information traffic. However, there are some features that can influence the design of the control system, such as the packet loss rate or the package delivery rate. This work proposes to evaluate the influence of the packet delivery rate on the variation of the steady state error of a level control. A wireless networked control system architecture with ISA 100.11a technology was implemented to perform the tests and data collection. The results show that there is a direct correlation of packet loss with the controller error.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
