CONTROL NETWORK AND METHOD FOR PASSIVATING A CONTROL NETWORK

摘要

The invention relates to a control network comprising a master system (101) and a slave system (102) connected to the master system (101) via a bidirectional communication channel (103), wherein a first passivity controller (104) is connected between the master system (101) and the communication channel (103) and a second passivity controller (105) is connected between the communication channel (103) and the slave system (102). The communication channel (103) has time-variable transmission delays. The control network according to the invention avoids causality ambiguities and thereby enables the control network to be passivated in widely different network architectures.
