A Real-Time Realization Of Fault-Detection And Diagnosis Using Finite-State Automaton

Abstract This paper addresses the problem of Fault-detection and Diagnosis using Finite-state Automaton Models (FAM). These models partition the state-space into finite regions and contain information on system trajectory within these regions. A framework for modeling faults using FAM is discussed. A Fault-detection engine is then developed to detect and isolate faults. The algorithm is illustrated with a case study.
