Abstract Details

2014, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Mechanical Engineering.
Networked control systems are being used extensively because of their reliability, cost effectiveness and manageability. The automotive industry uses Controller Area Network (CAN) for exchanging data among multiple Electronic Control Units (ECU). Each ECU has a set of dedicated control tasks such as engine control, transmission control, brake systems management, traction control, etc. Generally, every control task needs information from multiple ECUs and sensors to perform its duties. The use of CAN as a part of control loop introduces certain effects on the performance of the control which are significant and non-linear. Therefore it is important to include the CAN behavior in model based control design and simulations. The work presented in this thesis develops a CAN simulator on MATLAB/SimEvents platform that can be integrated into existing vehicle simulators for control systems simulations. The CAN simulator is built for shorter simulation time and modularity. CSMA/CD+AMP protocol with CAN ID based arbitration is implemented on the simulator along with packet loss mechanism and online network delay estimation. The simulator performance is compared and validated against experimental data. The effects of CAN on control performance are studied by simulating different systems in multiple configurations using the CAN simulator. Based on the results of such simulations, design guidelines are developed. Network induced delay analysis and certain control solutions for improving the performance of the CAN based NCS are discussed as well.
