From fault diagnosis to reconfigurable control: a unified concept
Active fault-tolerant control is generally based on two steps: First, a diagnostic unit evaluates the measured input and output signals of a system in order to detect and identify a fault. Second, the controller is reconfigured to ensure that the closed-loop system including the faulty plant satisfies again the performance requirements. In the past, most of the authors have considered either the diagnostic step or the reconfiguration step and only a few results are available concerning the complete concept of fault-tolerant control. This talk presents a unified approach to both steps and demonstrates its results for a hexacopter experiment.
