Modelling Issue in Fault Diagnosis

When introducing fault diagnosis as a scientific discipline, it is worth providing some basic definitions. These definitions, suggested by the IFAC Technical Committee SAFEPROCESS, have been introduced in order to unify the terminology in the area.

Foreword

An unappealing characteristic of all real-world systems is the fact that they are vulnerable to faults, malfunctions and, more generally, unexpected modes of behaviour. This explains why there is a continuous need for reliable and universal monitoring systems based on suitable and effective fault diagnosis strategies. This is especially true for engineering systems, whose complexity is permanently growing due to the inevitable development of modern industry as well as the information and communication technology revolution. Indeed, the design and operation of engineering systems require an increased attention with respect to availability, reliability, safety and fault tolerance. Thus, it is natural that fault diagnosis plays a fundamental role in modern control theory and practice. This is reflected in plenty of papers on fault diagnosis in many control-oriented conferences and journals. Indeed, a large amount of knowledge on model based fault diagnosis has been accumulated through scientific literature since the beginning of the 1970s. As a result, a wide spectrum of fault diagnosis techniques have been developed. A major category of fault diagnosis techniques is the model based one, where an analytical model of the plant to be monitored is assumed to be available. Unfortunately, a fundamental difficulty relate
