 Networked control system

A Networked Control System (NCS) refers to a control system where the components are connected through a communication network rather than being directly linked by wired connections. In such systems, control loops are executed over a digital communication network, which can include wired and wireless technologies. ### Key Characteristics of Networked Control Systems: 1. **Distributed Nature:** - Components such as sensors, controllers, and actuators are distributed and can be located in different physical locations.
