Abstract

Resources limitations of embedded systems and networked control systems have motivated the development of novel controller implementation paradigms in order to reduce the potential conservatism of traditional clock-driven setups. In this context periodic event-triggered control has recently been proposed. Based on a periodically evaluated and statedependent criterion, it is decided, at every sampling instant, whether the control input needs to be updated or not. In this paper we propose a method for the design of periodic event-triggered controllers for nonlinear systems. We follow an emulation-based approach as we start from a known (continuously evaluated) event-triggered controller and we provide a systematic technique to select the sampling period and to redesign the triggering condition to approximately maintain the guarantees ensured by the original controller. The method is illustrated on a physical system and we compare the obtained results with other available event-based implementations.
