Embedded Fault Diagnosis Expert System Based on CLIPS and ANN

Embedded fault diagnosis technology requires high pertinency and small occupation space. Traditional fault diagnosis system can not satisfy the demand above. Aiming at this problem, a kind of embedded fault diagnosis expert system (E-FDES) based on CLIPS and ANN was brought forward. FDES and its relative technology were discussed, developing environment and design tool chain for E-FDES was established in Linux environment. Using modularization theory principle, system re-configuration and expansion ability were guaranteed, and data process components and graphic user interface components could be reduced to meet the embedded system running requirement. By application program interface of CLIPS and Protege plug-in, knowledge base and rule base were realized, that decreased the developing time of system inference engine and reduced source occupation space. Industry experiments prove that this system runs stably in ARM-Linux embedded environment, switch smoothly and can recognize some common faults for the devices monitored.
