Introducing fault diagnosis
Diagnostics is a procedure for translating information, deriven from the measurement of parameters and from the collection of data relating to a machine and turned into information on actual or incipient failures of the machine itself. Diagnostics summarizes the complexity of analysis and synthesis activities, which, using the measurements of certain physical quantities and characteristics of the monitored machine, allow us to obtain significant information on the conditions of the machine itself and on its trend over time, for evaluations and forecasts on its short- and long-term reliability.
The use of fault diagnosis techniques is becoming increasingly important to ensure high levels of safety and reliability in automated and autonomous systems. In fact, in recent years, the international scientific community has produced considerable efforts to develop systematic approaches to the diagnosis of failures in systems of various kinds. The main purpose...
