AN OBSERVER AND SIGNAL-PROCESSING APPROACH TO FDI FOR THE INDUSTRIAL ACTUATOR BENCHMARK TEST

In order to apply the best fault-detection and diagnosis scheme, it is required to investigate the process model profoundly and the kinds of faults to be detected. Especially, the process excitation and the effect of the fault being considered play an important role. This is the starting point for the choice of one of the various model-based fault-detection methods. According to this strategy, two different approaches, an observer-based and a signal-based approach, are selected for the two given faults of the benchmark task. It is shown that the use of adaptive thresholds can significantly improve the performance of the fault-detection scheme with respect to the false alarm rate and the delay in detection.
