Networked Control Systems Toolbox: Robust Stability Analysis Made Easy*

This paper presents the first prototype of a toolbox developed to automate stability analysis for networked control systems. Specifically, the toolbox can be employed to efficiently verify if a linear time-invariant (LTI) plant and an LTI controller interconnected with a shared network is robust to certain network imperfections. The purpose is to make the theory available in the literature readily accessible to and applicable for the general control community. Additionally, the software is structured in such a way that it is possible to incorporate custom models or use custom stability/performance analysis conditions, enabling the control community to contribute to the toolbox.
