EQUIPMENT FAILURE DIAGNOSIS SUPPORT SYSTEM AND EQUIPMENT FAILURE DIAGNOSIS SUPPORT METHOD
A learning diagnosis apparatus performs learning from failure data to create a diagnostic model, and stores a model, a failure cause part, and sensor data of the equipment in a rare case data table when the number of cases of the failure cause part of the equipment is less than a predetermined number. Then, based on the diagnostic model created by a learning unit, an estimated probability of causing a failure is calculated for each part of the equipment in which a failure has occurred. Based on the rare case data table, a sensor data match rate between sensor data of the equipment in which the failure has occurred and past sensor data of the model of the equipment is calculated. Then, the calculated sensor data match rate for each part of the equipment in which the failure has occurred is displayed.
Cyclical method and a device for localizing uncontrollable multiple failures in engineering systems in operation
A method and device improve efficiency, depth and reliability of diagnosing technical condition of highly complex objects. The technical effect is achieved by signals received from a diagnosed object (DO). These signals are transformed into a technical condition initial estimate vector for the DO elements. Then, technical condition estimates for the DO elements are specified through a cyclical process and by using a reverse logical model and a direct logical model. A technical condition vector estimate is formed after the cyclical process is completed, and its variable components are used for deciding on technical condition of the diagnosed object elements. The device comprises an interface unit which inputs serve for connecting to the DO data outputs, a measuring unit, an initial estimate forming unit, a switching unit, a reverse triplex logical model and a direct triplex logical model, a result interpretation unit and a control unit.
