摘要：Abstract:A system isfault tolerantif it remains functional after the occurrence of a fault. Given a plant subject to a fault,fault-tolerant controlrequires the controller to form a fault tolerant closed-loop system. For the systematic design of a fault-tolerant controller, typical input data consists of the plant dynamics including the effect of the faults under consideration and a formal performance requirement with a possible allowance for degraded performance after the fault. For its obvious practical relevance, the synthesis of fault-tolerant controllers has received extensive attention in the literature, however, with a particular focus on continuous-variable systems. This paper provides an overview on the synthesis of fault-tolerant controllers within the framework of supervisory control to address discrete-event systems that are adequately represented by regular languages.
