With the rise of Internet of Things (IoT) accessories such as network attached cameras, light bulbs and thermostats are all constantly connected to the Internet and security concerns must be taken seriously. If a bug exists in an application it could be hacked by a malicious adversary that then could harm the underlying system, leak information or attack other devices or networks. Applications sho

In this study, design of low-order feedforward controllers from both reference signal and measurable disturbance for proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controllers is considered. The feedforward controllers from reference are equivalent to the use of a PID controller with set-point weighting. The design problem is formulated as a convex optimisation problem and then solved for a batch of proce

This chapter aims to be a broad introduction for embedded systems professionals that wish to add machine learning to traditional embedded software. It briefly describes the foundation for a stable and secure IoT communication platform, touching on important areas such as the MQTT protocol and data extraction. The discussion is based on a case study for a digitalized marine vessel, and focuses on g

This paper presents new tuning rules for PIcontrol of processes with essentially monotone step response that aretypically encountered in process control. The rules are based oncharacterization of process dynamics by three parameters that can beobtained from a step response experiment. The rules are obtained bymaximizing integral gain subject to a constraint on themaximum sensitivity. They are almo

Tuning an ideal PID and then using its parameters in a real one, can yield undesired results. Nonetheless, many rules conceived for the ideal PID are successfully used in practice, owing to their greater flexibility. A systematic method would thus be useful to extend ideal PID tuning rules to the real PID, so as to preserve said flexibility while synthesising a realistic controller. This manuscrip

Software development for embedded systems has a lot of dependencies on the hardware of the system. To possibly reduce the lead time and ease the development process, an emulated model is investigated. This model is examined in terms of how it fits in the platform transition, daily development and testing processes at Axis. The results indicate that an emulated model is a powerful tool for a softwa

In this paper, a performance benchmark for the assessment of two feedforward control architectures for the load disturbance compensation problem is proposed. In particular, two indices are devised so that the advantage of using a feedforward compensator with respect to the use of a feedback controller only is quantified. Furthermore, these metrics will help to make quantitative comparisons among d

This paper is intended to answer the question: “When is a simple dead-time compensator expected to perform better than a PID?”. The performance criterion used is the integrated absolute error (IAE). It is compared for PI and PID controllers and a simple dead-time compensator (DTC) when a step load disturbance is applied at the plant input. Both stable and integrating processes are considered.

This paper describes tuning procedures for dead-time compensating controllers (DTC). Both stable and integrating processes are considered. Simple experiments are performed to obtain process models as well as bounds on the allowable bandwidth for stability. The DTC's used have few parameters with clear physical interpretation so that manual tuning is possible. Furthermore, it is shown how the DTC's
