The problem of Hα fault-tolerant control for networked control systems (NCSs) with actuator failures is addressed in this study. The authors consider the network-induced delays, including sensor-to-controller delay and controller-to-actuator delay, to have both an upper bound and a non-zero lower bound. By using a sampled-data approach, a new model is formulated based on the updating instants of the ZOH. They derive the criteria which ensure that the sample-data NCS is stable with Hα norm γ . The authors design the Hα fault-tolerant controller that guarantees the closed-loop NCS stability with Hα norm γ, when all control components are operational, as well as when some actuators fail to operate. Simulation examples are given to show the effectiveness and less conservative needs of the proposed method.
