In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for the controllability of networked systems with heterogeneous dynamics is established where the nodes are higher dimensional linear time invariant systems and the network topology is directed and weighted. The controllability of networked system over some specific topologies are also examined and some non-controllability results are obtained. The theoretical results are demonstrated with examples.
