FCM(Fuzzy Cognitive Map) is proposed for representing causal reasoning. Its structure allows systematic causal reasoning through a forward inference. By using the FCM, authors have proposed FCM-based fault diagnostic algorithm. However, it can offer multiple interpretations for a single fault. In process engineering, as experience accumulated, some form of quantitative process knowledge is available. If this information can be integrated into the FCM-based fault diagnosis, the diagnostic resolution can be further improved. The purpose of this paper is to propose an enhanced FCM-based fault diagnostic scheme. Firstly, the membership function of fuzzy set theory is used to integrate quantitative knowledge into the FCM-based diagnostic scheme. Secondly, modified TAM recall procedure is proposed. Considering that the integration of quantitative knowledge into FCM-based diagnosis requires a great deal of engineering efforts, thirdly, an automated procedure for fusing the quantitative knowledge into FCM-based diagnosis is proposed by utilizing self-learning feature of neural network. Finally, the proposed diagnostic scheme has been tested by simulation on the two-tank system.

A new FDOs (fault diagnostic observers) and the residual generation schemes using the FDOs are suggested for the process fault detection and isolation of linear (control) systems. The design method of the FDO is described, first, for the full measurement systems. Then it is extended for the systems with unmeasurable state variables. An unknown input observer is proposed and applied for the extension. The size of the observer bank may be the smallest, specially in full measurement systems, because the order of the proposed FDO is very low. In spite of the simplicity, the scheme provides the same information for the detection and isolation of the anticipated faults as the conventional multiple observer based schemes. The residuals may be structured so that fault isolation can be performed by pre-selected logic. An FDIS using the proposed scheme is constructed for the model of the four-tank system. Simulation results show the practical feasibility of the proposed scheme.

This paper describes diagnosis strategy of the Flexible Multiple Fault Diagnosis Module for forecasting faults in system and deciding current machine state form sensor information. Most studydeal with diagnosis control stategy about single fault in a system, this studies deal with multiple fault diagnosis. This strategy is consist of diagnosis control module such as backward tracking expert system shell, various neural network, numerical model to predict machine state and communication module for information exchange and cooperate between each model. This models are used to describe structure, function and behavior of subsystem, complex component and total system. Hierarchical structure is very efficient to represent structural, functional and behavioral knowledge. FT(Fault Tree). ST(Symptom Tree), FCD(Fault Consequence Diagrapy), SGM(State Graph Model) and FFM(Functional Flow Model) are used to represent hierachical structure. In this study, IA(Intelligent Agent) concept is introduced to match FT component and event symbol in diagnosed system and to transfer message between each event process. Proposed diagnosis control module is made of IPC(Inter Process Communication) method under UNIX operating system.

In the field of fault diagnosis, the deviations from normal operating conditions are monitored to identify the type of faults and find their root causes. One of the most representative methods is the statistical approaches, due to a large amount of advantages. However, ambiguous diagnosis results can be generated according to fault magnitudes, even if the same fault occurs. To tackle this issue, this work proposes principal component analysis (PCA) based method with qualitative information. The PCA model is constructed under normal operation data and the residuals from faulty conditions are calculated. The significant changes of these residuals are recorded to make the information for identifying the types of fault. This model can be employed easily and the tasks for building are smaller than these of other common approaches. The efficacy of the proposed model is illustrated in Tennessee Eastman process.

To efficiently design safety-critical systems such as nuclear power plants, with the requirement of high reliability, methodologies allowing for rigorous interactions between the synthesis and analysis processes have been proposed. This paper attempts to develop a reliability-centered design framework through an interactive process between Axiomatic Design (AD) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). Integrating AD and FTA into a single framework appears to be a viable solution, as they compliment each other with their unique advantages. AD provides a systematic synthesis tool while FTA is commonly used as a safety analysis tool. These methodologies build a design process that is less subjective, and they enable designers to develop insights that lead to solutions with improved reliability. Due to the nature of the two methodologies, the information involved in each process is complementary: a success tree versus a fault tree. Thus, at each step a system using AD is synthesized, and its reliability is then quantified using the FT derived from the AD synthesis process. The converted FT provides an opportunity to examine the completeness of the outcome from the synthesis process. This study presents an example of the design of a Containment Heat Removal System (CHRS). A case study illustrates the process of designing the CHRS with an interactive design framework focusing on the conversion of the AD process to FTA.

The reliability is the critical issue in many computer applications, particularly in process control system. In this paper we describe how to achieve the reliability improvement in controller system based multiprocessor. The proposed method is accomplished by using the techniques of fault detection, fault isolation, safe action, and fault diagnosis.

Fault dropping is a very important part of test generation process. It is used to reduce test generation time. Test generation systems use fault simulation for the purpose of fault dropping by identifying detectable faults with generated test patterns. Two kinds of delay fault model is used in practice, path delay fault model and gate delay fault model. In this paper we propose an efficient method for gate delay test generation which shares second test vector.

This paper describes a neural-network-based methodology for providing a potential solution in the area of process fault diagnosis. The existing neural network for fault diagnosis learn fault node by using pairs of single-symptom-single-cause only. But in real plants, the effect of a fault propagates continuously from it's origin; different sensor values reflect this. In this paper, we suggest a new method which can handle the effect of symptom propagation. The proposed method can find the exact origin of the fault of which the symptom is propagated continuously with time.

모델기반 FDI 과정에서 모델오차와 센서잡음은 피할 수 없으므로 견실성은 모델기반 FDI에서 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 선형모델 오차 및 신호잡음으로 인하여 고장진단 과정에서 발생하는 결함판단 오류들을 비선형 NARX (Nonlinear Auto Regressive eXogenous) 모델과 칼만추정기를 적용하여 개선하는 방법을 제안하였다. 최종 고장판단은 퍼지로직을 이용하여 발생하는 오차의 추이에 대한 확률로 결정하여 순간적인 신호잡음에 강인하도록 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 운용 환경조건에서 엔진제어기의 고장허용에 따른 성능을 확인하였다.

This paper deals with the development of fault tolerant control for a nonlinear boiler system with noise and disturbance. The MCMBPC(Multivariable Constrained Model Based Predictive Control) is adopted for the control of the specific boiler turbin model. The fault detection and diagnosis are accomplished with the Kalman filter and two bias estimators. Once a fault is detected, two Bias estimators are driven to estimate the fault and to discriminate Process fault and sensor fault. In this paper, a fault tolerant control scheme combining MCMBPC with a fault compensation method based on the bias estimator is proposed. The proposed scheme has been applied to the nonlinear boiler system and shown a satisfactory performance through some simulations.
