Machine learning-based approach for online fault Diagnosis of Discrete Event System
share
The problem considered in this paper is the online diagnosis of Automated Production Systems with sensors and actuators delivering discrete binary signals that can be modeled as Discrete Event Systems. Even though there are numerous diagnosis methods, none of them can meet all the criteria of implementing an efficient diagnosis system (such as an intelligent solution, an average effort, a reasonable cost, an online diagnosis, fewer false alarms, etc.). In addition, these techniques require either a correct, robust, and representative model of the system or relevant data or experts' knowledge that require continuous updates. In this paper, we propose a Machine Learning-based approach of a diagnostic system. It is considered as a multi-class classifier that predicts the plant state: normal or faulty and what fault that has arisen in the case of failing behavior.
