Component based tele-diagnosis approach to a textile machine

摘要

The detection and diagnosis of faults in technical systems is of great practical significance. With the help of recent data transfer techniques, service technicians must not necessarily be on site in order to diagnose the cause of failure. Therefore tele-diagnosis can be defined as a service making use of modern communication channels. However, further progress can be achieved by automating the supervision task. An early detection of faults may help to avoid product deterioration, performance degradation, major damage to the machinery itself and damage to human health or even loss of lives. Furthermore, by employing modern diagnostic systems, faults can even be detected before they lead to a partial or total failure of the plant. This information can be utilised to plan maintenance cycles and thus to minimise plant outages. Within this paper a component-based plant monitoring approach is proposed which relies on the idea that the supervision of complex plants can take place in the individual components.
