Integration of Diagnostics and Prognostics.pptVIP

Full Systems Solution Though Teaming DSI is teaming with Impact Technology to bring a true integration of Diagnostics and Prognostics June 15, 2005 Integration of Diagnostics and Prognostics Run-time analysis based calculations Simulation-based Calculations Real-Time failure-based analysis based on condition events for time domain failure modes Calculated and predicted remediation actions based on Reliability Weighted Diagnostics Trend Analysis based on effective algorithms and event history for specific failure mode Diagnostic and Prognostic test placement Physics of Failure for time domain failure modes Determines failure mechanisms for entire function or system Prognostic Capability eXpress Capability eXpress Diagnostics Analysis vs. Prognostics Technology The process of identifying the occurrence of failures within a system, device or process using: Measurements of System Behavior Results of Autonomous Tests Results Driven from Empirical Analysis Diagnostic Analysis is the process of determining the fault detection and isolation capability of a System, Device or Process, with a known confidence level, at any level of the system hierarchy Diagnostics The process of predicting the occurrence of failures?to a system, device or process based on predictable time domain failures such as mechanical wear or stress This is in contrast to non-time domain, random failures that cannot be prognosed using known technology such as electronic failures* Prognostics, or Predictive Diagnostics * Note: There is much research in work related to electronic prognostics and the use of surrogate environmental type sensors in electronic equipment / devices. Can be effectively developed from the diagnostics design knowledge within eXpress? Take information from the embedded diagnostics sensor and prognostics algorithm information Provides knowledge for system health management decisions Model Based, Case Based, Rule Based or other type of reasoning Run-Time Reasoners An
