Abstract

A test bed for research and teaching in fault-tolerant control (FTC) systems is presented. The laboratory plant is based on an industrial reverse osmosis desalination plant equipped with standardized components, which introduces more realism and robustness into the experiments. This paper describes the plant, the mathematical model of the system and an illustrative experiment. Moreover, the problem of choosing the hardware/software platform for the real-time operation is addresses.
