Abstract

Fault prediction and fault compensation are beneficial for the production technology and give a new dimension to fault diagnosis in technical systems. The overall goal of this paper is the presentation of fault prediction and fault compensation procedures as they are studied, implemented and embedded in a real time expert system. This expert system detects and diagnoses faults in hydraulic systems. For this purpose dynamic modelling information, on-line sensor information, special features of the domain of hydraulic systems and expert systems technology are used co-operatively.
