Input-Output selection/placement for control systems has been widely researched in particular under fault-free conditions. In this paper we discuss on the feasibility of an (output) sensor selection scheme in a closed-loop framework based on both control performance and fault detectability metrics. The selection of sensors is based upon both closed-loop control and fault detection objectives by solving a mixed H−/H∞ optimization problem for each group of sensors available via Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI). The efficacy of the scheme is illustrated via a numerical example.
