Diagnosis of Process Failure using FCM

FCM을 이용한 프로세스 고장진단

In this paper, an algorithm for the fault diagnosis using simple FCM(Fuzzy Cognitive Map) is proposed FCMs which store uncertain causal knowledges are fuzzy signed graphs with feedback. The algorithm allows searching the origin of fault and the ways of propagating the abnormality throughout the process simply and has following characteristics. First, it can distinguish the cause of soft failure which can degenerate the process as well as hard failure. Second, it is proper for the processes which have difficulties to establish the exact quantative model. Finally, it has short amputation time in comparison with the fault tree or the other AI methods. The applicability of the proposed algorithm for the fault diagonosis to a tank or pipeline system is demonstrated
