Abstract

The development of systems capable of diagnosing new and multiple faults in industrial systems is an active research topic. In this paper a model-based diagnostic system capable of diagnosing new and multiple faults using fuzzy logic as a fundamental tool is proposed. Also, the wavelet transform is used for isolating noise present in measurements. The proposed model was applied to the Continuously-Stirred Tank Heater model benchmark. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed model, improving the robustness in the diagnostic, without loss of sensitivity to incipient or small magnitude faults.
