  • fault dependency model One approach for performing diagnosis based on sensor data, utilizing expert knowledge, is the fault dependency model. This approach is based on the realization that some components require the proper operation of other components in order to operate properly themselves. As single failure may present as multiple abnormal sensor readings, the fault dependency model attempts to pinpoint the root cause of the abnormal readings based on a prior knowledge of what sorts of malfunctions are likely to cause other abnormal sensor readings.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating the WTP.
  • a left tank 10 and a right tank 11.
  • a single tap 12 is free to move between each tank so as to fill both tanks with water.
  • Each tank has a hole at the bottom that loses water.
  • the left tank 10 loses water at a rate of v1 while the right tank 11 loses water at a rate of v2.
  • the tap 12 fills either tank at a rate w.
  • a command called“switch” may be used to move the tap to change tanks.
  • Sensor x1 is a Boolean sensor monitoring the state of the left tank 10 while sensor x2 is a Boolean sensor monitoring the state of the right tank 11. Sensors x1 and x2 register a 1 when the water level in the tank is increasing and they register a 0 when the water level is decreasing.
  • Nonmonotonic reasoning may be used to examine the state of x1 and x2 together.
  • the fact that x2 is decreasing and not increasing may indicate that the left tank 11 has failed, for example, due to a leak.
  • x1 is increasing and not decreasing
  • it may be determined that it is the tap 12 that is malfunctioning.
  • One example of nonmonotonic reasoning is the Answer Set Programming (ASP) formalism.
  • ASP Answer Set Programming
  • Exemplary embodiments seek to apply ASP to various monitoring and diagnostic systems to deduce a cause of sensor abnormalities where the particular problem is not directly observable.
  • ASP may be used as a unifying language for integrating other reasoning approaches.
  • Exemplary embodiments of the present invention may utilize two additional approaches for reasoning diagnosis.
  • the first such approach may be called the fault dependency model.
  • the understanding that a single malfunction can cause other sensors to read abnormally is used to trace back a sequence of abnormal sensor readings to an actual cause of failure.
  • we start with the expert understanding that a failure in the tap may lead to an abnormal state of the left tank, which may lead to an abnormal reading for x1.
  • a failure in the tap may lead to an abnormal state of the right tank, which may lead to an abnormal reading for x2.
  • This knowledge may be expressed accordingly:
  • This dependency model may be interpreted to mean that when x1 is observed to be abnormal, then tank 1 and/or the tap could be faulty and similarly, when x2 is observed to be abnormal, then tank 2 and/or the tap could be faulty.
  • the following dependency matrix may be used to describe this situation:
  • the fault dependency model in order to generate the fault dependency model, the only expert knowledge required is how faults propagate between components. Such knowledge can be automatically obtained from system design documents such as CAD/CAM. Other information, such as the functional perspective of the system, may be ignored. For this reason, the fault dependency model may be simple to construct and use for diagnostic purposes, however, this approach may have relatively low resolution compared to other reasoning approaches. Thus, for a given number of sensors, the fault dependency model might not be able to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem as narrowly as other approaches.
  • Exemplary embodiments of the present invention may also use another approach for diagnostic reasoning.
  • This other approach may be referred to as the logical models approach.
  • complex functional interdependencies between system components may be expressed as logical formulas. While this approach may require additional expert knowledge, a higher diagnostic resolution may be achieved, which may mean that for a given number of sensors, a cause of the problem may be more narrowly pinpointed.
  • each command is associated with a state variable that describes the system state. For example, for the command fill1, the state“filling1” will be true if the tap is filling tank 1 and the state“filling1” will be false otherwise.
  • the expert knowledge of the WTP example may be captured in the following two rules, which may also utilize the modeling language of ASP: inStatus(filling1) ⁇ value(fill1,1), not ab(tap) (1) not inStatus(filling1) ⁇ value(fill1,0), not ab(tap) (2)
  • the right-hand side of the rule is to be interpreted as conjunctions, meaning that for the left hand side to hold, all conditions on the right should hold as well.
  • rule (1) says that if the value of the command fill1 is 1 (to fill left tank) and the tap is not in a faulty condition, then the system should be in a state that the left tank is being filled.
  • Rule (2) holds similarly that if the value of the command fill1 is 0 (not to fill the left tank) and the tap is not in a faulty condition, then the system should be in a state that the left tank is not being filled.
  • Logical equations may also be used to specify the relationships between sensor readings and the state variables, for example:
  • rule (3) says that if the system is not in the state of filling tank1 (left tank) and tank1 is not faulty, then x1 should not detect an increase.
  • rule (4) similarly holds that if the system is not in the state of filling tank1 (left tank) and tank2 is not faulty, then x2 should detect an increase.
  • the sensor readings are:
  • the logical models approach while being more complex, may provide a more detailed explanation as to the cause of a potential failure.
  • the dependency models approach is simpler but provides less detail as to the cause of a potential failure.
  • Exemplary embodiments of the present invention combine the logical models approach with the dependency models approach, using the modeling language of ASP, to provide a hybrid modeling approach that can be both simple, where needed, and provide high resolution, where available.
  • exemplary embodiments give preference to those solutions that are minimal, for example, preference is given to the simplest possible explanations that can account for the observed sensor readings.
  • preference is given to those solutions with the greatest amount of supporting evidence, for example, the minimal solution with the greatest number of supporting sensor observations.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à évaluer le statut d'un système, qui contient la réception d'informations fournies par l'utilisateur, relatives à l'opération d'un système (S41). Un modèle de dépendance du système est construit sur la base des informations reçues (S43a/b). Un modèle logique du système est construit (S43) et combiné avec le modèle de dépendance (S46) lorsqu'il est déterminé que les informations fournies par l'utilisateur sont suffisantes pour construire le modèle logique (S42). Des données de capteur, provenant de capteurs installés dans le système, sont surveillées, le modèle combiné est appliqué aux données de capteur, lorsque le modèle combiné est disponible et que le modèle de dépendance est appliqué aux données de capteur lorsque le modèle combiné n'est pas disponible (S48). Un ensemble de composantes de système anormales est déterminé, à partir de l'application du modèle de dépendance/modèle combiné sur les données de capteur et une évaluation de l'état du système est déterminée sur la base de l'ensemble de composantes anormales du système.
