A sensor fault detection and isolation scheme(SFDIS) is adopted to improve the reliability of direct torque controlled induction motor drives and the experimental results are discussed. Major contributions include: experimental analysis of a few important sensor faults. design and implementation of the proposed SFDIS, and the fault tolerant control system(FTCS). Although the adopted SFDIS employs only one observer for residual generation, the system has the function of fault isolation that only multiple observer schemes can have. To verify the performance of the proposed scheme, the speed control system is designed for the 2.2kW direct torque controlled Induction motor. Hardware of the control system consists of a control board using TMS320OVC33 and a power stack using IPM. Experimental results for various type of sensor faults show the effectiveness of the SFDIS and the FTCS.

This paper outlines the basic concepts, approaches and research trends of fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control applied to industrial processes, facilities, and motor drives. The main role of fault diagnosis for industrial processes is to create effective indicators to determine the defect status of the process and then take appropriate measures against failures or hazadous accidents. The technologies of fault detection and diagnosis have been developed to determine whether a process has a trend or pattern, or whether a particular process variable is functioning normally. Firstly, data-driven based and model-based techniques were described. Secondly, fault detection and diagnosis techniques for industrial processes are described. Thirdly, passive and active fault tolerant control techniques are considered. Finally, major faults occurring in AC motor drives were listed, described their characteristics and fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control techniques are outlined for this purpose.

In this paper, we suggest a checkpoint and recovery facility for the fault-tolerable process which is expected to be executed for a long time. The basic concept of the suggested facility is to allow the process to be executed continuously, when the process was stopped due to a System fault, by storing the execution status of the process periodically and recovering the execution status prior to the fault was occurred. In the suggested facility, it does not need to modify the source code for the fault-tolerable process. It was designed for the user to specify directly the file name and the checkpoint frequency, and two system calls(save, recover) were added. finally, it was implemented on the Linux environment(kernel 2.4.18) for checking the feasibility.

The checkpointing schemes should reduce the process delay through managing the checkpoints of each node to fit the network load to enhance the performance of the process running on the cluster system that write the checkpoints into its global stable storage. For this reason, a cluster system with single IO space on a distributed RAID chooses a suitable checkpointng scheme to get the maximum IO performance and the best rollback recovery efficiency. In this paper, we improved the striped checkpointing scheme with dynamic stripe group size by adapting to the network bandwidth variation at the point of checkpointing. To analyze the performance of the multi striped checkpointing scheme, we applied Linpack HPC benchmark with MPI on our own cluster system with maximum 512 virtual nodes. The benchmark results showed that the multistriped checkpointing scheme has better performance than the striped checkpointing scheme on the checkpoint writing efficiency and rollback recovery at heavy system load.

In this paper, we proposed an active fault tolerant control (AFTC) method for the position control of a quadrotor with complete loss of effectiveness of one motor. We obtained the dynamics of a quadrotor using Lagrangian equation without small angle assumption. For detecting the fault on a motor, we designed a fault detection module, which consists of the fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) module and the fault detection and isolation (FDI) module. For the FDD module, we designed a nonlinear observer that observes the states of a quadrotor based on the obtained dynamics. Using the observed states of a quadrotor, we designed residual signals and set the appropriate threshold values of residual signals to detect the fault. Also, we designed an FDI module to identify the fault location using the designed additional conditions. To make a quadrotor track the desired path after detecting the fault of a motor, we designed a fault tolerant controller based on the multiple sliding surface control (MSSC) technique. Finally, through simulations, we verified the effectiveness of the proposed AFTC method for a quadrotor with complete loss of effectiveness of one motor.

임베디드 시스템의 신인도(Dependability)를 높이기 위해 기존 컴퓨터시스템에서 주로 사용되는 결함허용(Fault-tolerant) 기술을 그대로 적용시키는 것은 임베디드 시스템의 엄격한 비용 제약과 설치 공간의 부족 등의 이유로 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 여분(Redundancy)을 최소 한도로 사용하는 차량 임베디드 시스템에 적합한 소프트웨어 결함허용 기법을 연구하였으며, 임베디드 시스템의 신인도를 반영할 수 있는 척도인 유용도(Utility) 척도를 정의하고, 임베디드 시스템의 결함허용을 위해 고려해야 할 각각의 재구성 조합에 대한 유용도 명가를 수행하였다. 이를 통해 차량 임베디드 시스템의 일부 부품이 결함 시, 가능한 최대의 유용도를 제공하는 구성조합으로 재구성 작업을 가능하게 하였다.

In this paper, we consider ring embedding problem on (n,k)-star graphs. We first present a new ring embedding strategy and also prove the superiority in expandability by showing its application into the fault-tolerant ring embedding problem with edge faults. This result can be applied to the multicating applications that use the underlying cycle properties on the multi-computer system.

Adaptive routing methods are studied for effective routing in many topologies where occurrence of the faulty nodes are inevitable. Mesh topology provides simplicity in implementing these methods. Many routing methods for mesh are able to tolerate a large number of faults enclosed by a rectangular faulty block. But they consider even good nodes in the faulty block as faulty nodes. Hence, it results the degradation of node utilization. This problem is solved by a method which transmits messages to destinations within faulty blocks via multiple “intermediate nodes”. It also divides faulty block into multiple expanded meshes. With these expanded meshes, DAG(Directed Acyclic Graph) is formed and a message is able to be routed by the shortest path according to the DAG. Therefore, the additional number of hops can be resulted. We propose a method that reduces the number of hops by searching direct paths from the destination node to the border of the faulty block. This path is called SCP(Short-Cut Path). If the path and the traversing message is on the same side of outside border of the faulty block, the message will cut into the path found by our method. It also reduces the message traverse latency between the source and the destination node.
