This paper provides a tutorial introduction to reconfigurable control and surveys recent advances on this
topic. Control reconfiguration is an important method of
fault-tolerant control that uses the results of a fault
diagnosis component to restructure the control loop and
to adapt the controller to the faulty plant. This paper
describes recent approaches that are suitable for on-line
application. These approaches lead to a redesign of the
controller or augment the control loop with a reconfiguration block that adapts the nominal controller to the
dynamical properties of the faulty plant. The approaches
are illustrated by means of a running example and
experimental applications of selected methods. Challenges for future research in the field are stated.
Keywords: Fault-tolerant control; multivariable control systems; control reconfiguration, reconfigurability.
1. Introduction
1.1. Dependability of Complex Systems
The increasing complexity makes man-made systems
more and more vulnerable for faults and malfunctions. At the same time, requirements for system
dependability are surging as a consequence of
increasing economical demands and tightening environmental regulations. Maintaining system dependability at required levels by improving individual
components is challenging and expensive. Feedback

Fig. 1. Aircraft with yaw axis z and yaw angle . The yaw angle
is normally controlled by the rudder deflection angle uR . After the
rudder fails by blocking in centered position (f), the differential
thrust uT can be used to influence the yaw angle. This solution must
be automatically and autonomously found by means of a control
reconfiguration component.
Fig. 3. Control loop modes. (a) The loop starts in healthy (faultfree) operation mode. The occurrence of a fault event ef causes the
loop to operate in the undesired faulty mode. After the diagnosis
event ed , the reconfiguration event erc lifts the system to the more
desirable reconfigured mode, where it should be at least stable and
should satisfy the control specifications as well as possible. This
situation remains until the repair event er recovers the healthy
operation mode. (b) The timing diagram shows the temporal
relation between the events driving the automaton (a). The
diagnosis delay generally varies depending on the diagnosability
of the current operating conditions. The fault may not be diagnosed
for a long time if the system excitation is not sufficient. The time-toreconfigure adds the computation time for the reconfiguration
solution, which typically grows with the dimension of the system.
Fig. 2. Fault-tolerant control loop. A fault f acting on the plant is detected and located by the fault detection and isolation (FDI) module.
The fault estimate f^ is then used by the control loop adjustment module to adapt the structure of the control loop and the controller
parameters to the faulty plant.

Fig. 4. Control reconfiguration idea. For the nominal plant, the controller uses the input u2 (left). If the corresponding actuator fails, the
control loop is broken and an adjustment of the controller to the faulty plant is impossible unless other control inputs are used (right). In the
reconfigured closed-loop system the effect of the controller on the plant is re-routed around the faulty actuator (two arrows).
2. Reconfiguration Problem
This section introduces the models and reconfiguration goals used throughout the article. The main ideas
are explained for linear plants, although many of these
ideas are also applicable to nonlinear plants.

whereas the output equation (13) remains
unchanged.
Both faults have structural consequences since they
break the nominal control loop. The controller is
ineffective until further measures are taken to reconfigure the controller to use differential engine thrust
for controlling the yaw rate. The model (12), (13)
shows that, after command failure, the controller
action must be redirected to differential thrust uT and
scaled by a factor of two. In case of non-centered
rudder blockage, the induced disturbance must in
addition be compensated.
The least goal is the recovery of the steady-state
behaviour as demanded by the equilibrium recovery
goal, which simplifies the safe landing of the aircraft.
365
Furthermore, the best-possible recovery of the transient yaw dynamics is desirable to relieve the cockpit
crew from re-learning to fly the faulty aircraft. The
better the dynamics are recovered, the more the
reconfigured aircraft feels, from the viewpoint of the
pilot, like the fault-free aircraft.
Remark 2 Several phenomena that govern real aircraft
as well as any coupling between the yaw, roll and pitch
axes have been neglected to obtain a simple model for
illustrative purposes. In reality an aircraft model is a
nonlinear parameter-varying system. Furthermore,
rudders have faster time constants than jet engines, and
the saturations in the input channels represent a major
challenge for fault-tolerant control. A realistic and
detailed multi-axis case study of aircraft under engine
thrust control is reported in [13].
3. Reconfiguration Paradigms
3.1. Survey
Over the past 30 years, a variety of approaches
to control reconfiguration has been developed.
The majority of approaches is based on a linear
Fig. 7. Classification of control reconfiguration methods. Projection refers to the choice of a control scheme from a list of predefined
solutions. Learning control denotes a family of approaches from computer science, specifically artificial intelligence with a strong focus on
learning and handling of unanticipated faults. Automatic redesign refers to on-line reconfiguration without reference to predefined solutions.
If the nominal controller is discarded, automatic design is called controller redesign. If it is kept in the loop, the automatic redesign is called
fault hiding.
366
367
However, model predictive control requires the highest on-line computational effort.
3.6. Reconfiguration by Hiding the Fault from the
Nominal Controller
The motivation of this paradigm is best explained by
looking at the faulty plant from the perspective of the
controller. Keeping the nominal controller in the
closed loop unchanged after a fault is desirable for at
least the following three reasons.
First, if the controller is a human being (pilot,
plant operator, etc.), the technical term controller
redesign implies that the human being must be
trained for all possible fault scenarios before operation. Furthermore, the fault occurrence causes a
considerable amount of workload and stress at fault
time. Naturally, the number of fault cases that can be
trained off-line is limited, and the stress load potentially causes new problems arising from inappropriate
decisions. Second, if the nominal controller is automatic, it includes much of the design knowledge
that has been gained in the iterative off-line steps of
its design. It is desirable to keep as much of this

where r(t) is a reference input signal, and N is introduced to guarantee a desired steady state gain. The

are satisfied.
A zero right-hand side in the conditions (20), (21) is
the ideal goal. In this case, the reconfigured closedloop model equals the nominal closed-loop model in
terms of both its dynamical and input-output behaviour. If these conditions cannot be satisfied, the goal
is to minimise the left-hand sides of the conditions
(20), (21). The approaches discussed below differ with
respect to the reference model features and with
respect to the mathematical tools used for its recovery.

where B
f denotes the pseudo-inverse of Bf [6]. The
controller (19) with the matrices Kf and Vf is then
plugged into the closed-loop system instead of the
original controller (Figure 9). In the figure, thick
arrows indicate that the respective block is subject to
changes at reconfiguration time. So far, this method
suffers from the severe problem that the stability of
the reconfigured closed-loop system cannot be guaranteed. In addition, it may even fail to re-establish a
closed-loop system [55].
The stability problem can be addressed by replacing
the unconstrained optimisation problems (22) and
(23) by constrained problems, where the closed-loop
system matrix is required to be stable. The stability
constraint is formulated in terms of the stability
369
robustness of linear systems with structured uncertainty. The modified pseudo-inverse method attains
the stabilisation goal if possible, but is computationally intensive and its on-line applicability is questionable. Details are described in [24].
Further restrictions on the set of admissible solutions were developed to ensure that controllers are
found that satisfy given performance bounds. For
example, in [18, 61] a computationally simpler
approach based on a set of admissible reference
models is described in terms of linear matrix
inequalities (LMI). The admissible set can be chosen
to ensure adequateness and robust stability. The
reconfigurability of a fault situation can be assessed
with respect to that admissible set. This framework
allows to embed the equilibrium and trajectory
recovery goals into a suitable choice of admissible
models.
In this approach, a set of admissible models is
defined as
_ Mxt Nrt
xt
subject to M; N 2 M N ;
with the sets M and N , which are defined by LMI
as in
M fM such that M 0g
N fN such that N 0g:
Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence
of solutions are given and the solutions are obtained
by non-constrained optimisation. The solutions are
unique and efficiently computable if the regions described by the LMI are convex. The robustness issues
are discussed further in [61].

Perfect model following guarantees closed-loop stability if the pair (Af , Bf ) is stabilisable. The stabilising
gain can be determined, for instance, by pole placement or LQ-design. The bounded-input boundedoutput (BIBO) stability of the closed-loop system is
even assured if the model following is not perfect, due
to the bounded nature of the reference signal r. The
loop output trajectory recovery goal is met if full
decoupling is achieved.
Perfect model following can be obtained only if the
assumption (27) is satisfied and the faulty plant has
the same zero structure as the nominal plant. If new
zeros are introduced by faults, a dynamic component
is needed to compensate these zeros. An extension of
perfect model following referring to this idea shows
that the design of the dynamic compensator turns out
to be computationally demanding, which makes
this approach questionable under real-time constraints [25].
In the yaw control example, the output matrix is not
an identity matrix. Furthermore, the fault introduces
a plant zero at 1, while there were no zeros in the
nominal plant. Hence, the fault in the yaw control
example cannot be handled by this approach.
4.3.2. Adaptive Model Following
In adaptive model following a closed-loop reference
model including the reference signal is recovered by
using a control law of the form

The positive semi-definite weighting matrix Q penalising the state error and positive definite weighting

nominal weights Q, R, where Pf is the solution of a

Lemma 7 (Static trajectory recovery [55]) The trajectory recovery goal is attainable for the faulty plant
(7), (8) using the static input reconfiguration block
(64), if and only if Condition (65) is met. The reconfigured plant (7), (8), (64) solves the trajectory recovery
goal, if and only if N is designed as in Equation (66).
holds for all frequencies s. To this end, the reconfiguration problem is reformulated as a disturbance
decoupling problem. The reconfiguration algorithm is
reported in [42, 65], where the disturbance decoupling
problem is solved using techniques from geometric
systems theory [5, 71].

results from continuously blending warm salt concentration from the supply tank TB with salt-free
water at room temperature from the cold water supply
CW. The goal variables are controlled by manipulating the supply valve uTB , heater uel;TS and pump uPS by
means of decentralised control loops.
Three actuator fault scenarios were considered for
testing the virtual actuator, namely the failure of the
control valve uTB , the failure of the heater uel;TS , and
the failure of the pump uPS . All failures mean blocking
of the component at the operating point.
The process contains redundant components. The
cold water supply is kept at a constant flow rate in the
fault-free situation. However, the flow setpoint uCW
for its subordinate control loop is available as a free
plant input. In addition, the heater uel;TB in the supply
container TB is a manipulable input. The spare supply
container TM serves as a backup supply in case the
valve to the tank TB fails. The container TM holds the
same substance as the tank TB and is accessed
through the control valve uTM .
A linearised model (1), (2) for the entire plant,
including redundant inputs and components, was
derived from a nonlinear plant model at the desired
setpoint used as the operating point by means of

designed for trajectory recovery. The trajectories show that the setpoints are reached, hence the reconfiguration goal is achieved. The inputs
are shown twice: black curves correspond to controller commands uc , grey curves to the inputs uf of the plant. The valve uTB blocks at its
operating point (right figure in 4th row). After reconfiguration at t 350 s, the valve uTM is used, which was inactive before the fault (left

7. Conclusion
This article has presented the state of the art in the
field of control reconfiguration, which handle component failures in addition to faults that change
component characteristics. Several approaches have
been explained and evaluated. The focus of this article
was on automatic redesign approaches that enable
autonomous reconfiguration at fault time, which is a
crucial requirement in most practical applications,
since the combinatorial effort of off-line pre-designing
fault-case specific controllers is often overwhelming.
In conclusion, the linear reconfiguration framework
provides basic and fundamental insight into the feasibility and applicability of control reconfiguration.
This linear framework is, however, not sufficient for
solving practical problems that are governed by nonlinear dynamics. These observations motivate the
further exploration of nonlinear fault-tolerant control
techniques. In particular, the presence of input limitations and state bounds for safe plant operation
present particular challenges for control reconfiguration after actuator failures, since usually the failed
actuators have the best effect on some controlled
output, and any redundant components usually have
much less effect on the controlled quantity.
Furthermore, the interplay between diagnosis
components and reconfigurable controllers in closedloop configuration, as well as the consideration of
uncertain diagnosis results are important topics that
require deeper investigation.
