The master-slave synchronization problem for two
cart-pendulum systems when both measurement and control
signals are transmitted via intranet communication channel
is examined. The speed-gradient method for exciting master
system and linear state feedback for slave system is used.
Theoretical analysis is performed by the nonlinear extension
of Fridman’s method. Experimental results are presented for
a cart-pendulum system constructed from Lego. Theoretical
bound for sampling interval guaranteeing synchronization is
about h=0.1 sec. Such bounds are positive for control over
intranet and very negative for control over internet. However
experiments show that real values of the communication delays
are even bigger.
