Fault diagnosis based on identified discrete-event models

International audienceFault diagnosis of Discrete-Event Systems consists of detecting and isolating the occurrence of faults within a bounded number of event occurrences. Recently, a new model for discrete-event system identification with the aim of fault detection, called Deterministic Automaton with Outputs and Conditional Transitions (DAOCT), has been proposed in the literature. The model is computed from observed fault-free paths, and represents the fault-free system behavior. In order to obtain compact models, loops are introduced in the model, which implies that sequences that are not observed can be generated leading to an exceeding language. This exceeding language is associated with possible non-detectable faults, and must be reduced in order to use the model for fault detection. After detecting the fault occurrence, its isolation is carried out by analyzing residuals. In this paper, we present a fault diagnosis scheme based on the DAOCT model. We show that the proposed fault diagnosis scheme is more efficient than other approaches proposed in the literature, in the sense that the exceeding language can be drastically reduced, reducing the number of non-detectable fault occurrences, and, in some cases, reducing also the delay for fault diagnosis. A practical example, consisting of a plant simulated by using a 3D simulation software controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller, is used to illustrate the results of the paper

Codiagnosticabilidade de sistemas a eventos discretos com observação dinâmica

In this work, a new algorithm for verifying the codiagnosticability of a language in discrete event systems (DES) with dynamic observation is proposed. Codiagnosticability in DESs with dynamic observation has been addressed by other studies in the literature. Each of the methods currently available in the literature capable of dealing with this problem are considered and compared with the method proposed here. This comparison validates the results, since this new verifier, in general, has a lower computational cost than the others, although all have polynomial complexity.Neste trabalho é proposto um novo algoritmo para verificação da codiagnosticabilidade de uma linguagem em sistemas a eventos discretos (SED) com observação dinâmica. Este problema da codiagnosticabilidade em SEDs com observação dinâmica é abordado por outros trabalhos na literatura. Cada um dos métodos existentes atualmente na literatura capazes de lidar com esse problema são abordados e comparados com o método aqui proposto. Essa comparação valida os resultados, uma vez que esse novo verificador, em geral, possui um menor custo computacional do que os outros, apesar de todos terem complexidade polinomial
