Automatic Modeling and Fault Diagnosis of Timed Concurrent Discrete Event Systems. Automatische Modellierung und Fehlerdiagnose zeitlicher nebenläufiger ereignisdiskreter Systeme

The productive operation of machines and facilities is of great economic importance for industrial companies. In order to achieve high productivity, unscheduled production downtimes induced by faults need to be minimized. In this work, an approach for modelbased fault diagnosis of timed concurrent Discrete Event Systems is proposed that can contribute to this aim. The models are automatically determined by timed identification and partitioning. These approaches allow for efficient modeling of large and complex industrial systems with concurrent behavior requiring only little system knowledge. The work explains the theoretical and practical aspects of the presented approaches and gives a detailed evaluation based on a laboratory manufacturing system.

Automatic Modeling and Fault Diagnosis of Timed Concurrent Discrete Event Systems

Discrete Event Systems

Discrete Event Systems: Diagnosis and Diagnosability addresses the problem of fault diagnosis of Discrete Event Systems (DESs). This book provides the basic techniques and approaches necessary for the design of an efficient fault diagnosis system for a wide range of modern engineering applications. This book classifies the different techniques and approaches according to several criteria such as: modeling tools (Automata, Petri nets, Templates) that is used to construct the model; the information (qualitative based on events occurrences and/or states outputs, quantitative based on signal processing, data analysis) that is needed to analyze and achieve the diagnosis; the decision structure (centralized, decentralized) that is required to achieve the diagnosis; as well as the complexity (polynomial, exponential) of the algorithm that is used to determine the set of faults that the proposed approach is able to diagnose as well as the delay time required for this diagnosis. The goal of this classification is to select the efficient method to achieve the fault diagnosis according to the application constraints. This book will include illustrated examples of the presented methods and techniques as well as a discussion on the application of these methods on several real-world problems.
