A grey box model-based method for fault diagnosis is proposed in this paper. The method is based on a first principle model of the process unit: a heat exchanger, and on a grey box model of the faults: the deterioration of the heat transfer surface by aging and the leaking of the outer container. The deterioration of the heat transfer surface is due to material settling, and in old heat exchangers pieces of this material can break off and cause damage in the equipment. A recursive least squares estimator with forgetting factor is used to track both the heat transfer coefficients and the cold side volume. The heat transfer coefficients are estimated both from the hot and cold side equations. The settled material breakage fault is detected via detection of abrupt positive jumps in the estimated heat transfer coefficients using a detector based on a cumulative sum (CUSUM) test. The proposed method enables simultaneous detection of the two fault types considered. Fault localization along the equipment length is also possible when temperature measurements are available along the length.

The paper analyses characteristics of the closed loop system with the P-, PI-, and PID-controllers and different models approximating the plant time lags. It extends some early analytical results derived by Oldenbourg and Sartorius (1951) in such a manner that they can be considered as a generalisation of the other well known classical method experimentally derived by Ziegler and Nichols (1942) and modified for discrete time systems by Takahashi at al. (1971).

A grey box model-based method for fault diagnosis is proposed in this paper which is based on a first principle model of the process unit: a heat exchanger, and on a grey box model of the fault: the deterioration of the heat transfer surface by aging. Under normal operating conditions the heat transfer coefficient is constant or slowly decreasing due to a layer of settled material building up on the heat transfer surface, and we propose to use a recursive least squares estimator with forgetting factor to track the heat transfer coefficients during these stages. In old heat exchangers, big chunks of the settled material can break away from the surface causing the heat transfer coefficients to rise sharply. This fault is detected via detection of abrupt positive jump in the estimated heat transfer coefficients using a Hinkley detector

An on-line fault detection and diagnosis system, based on a fuzzy qualitative simulation algorithm, is presented. In order to test the performance and reliability of the system a computational TURBO C++ program with a hierarchical structure, has been developed. The fuzzy representation of qualitative values is more general than ordinary interval representation, since it can represent not only the information stated by a well defined real interval but also the knowledge embedded in the soft boundaries of the interval. Single and double simultaneous abrupt faults have been considered, and successful results have been obtained in simulation studies conducted with a mixing process.

The integrated design of control and fault detection is studied. The result of the analysis is that it is possible to separate the design of the controller and the filter for fault detection in the case where the nominal model can be assumed to be fairly accurate. In the uncertain case, however, the design of the filter and the controller can not be separated when an optimal design is desired. For systems with Significant uncertainties, there turns out to be a fundamental trade-off between the performance in the control loop and the performance in the filter

controller design for Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) is addressed within a systems theory-basea framework, which allows the separation of the workcell (comprised of machines and resources to be controlled), and the controller (consisting of the decision-making scheduler). This point of view is particularly profitable for teaching FMS design to controlengineering students, who are familiar with the feedback control principles. The design algorithm uses standard manufacturing engineering tools to produce a rule-based controller that is described mathematically in terms of matrix equations, yielding the Petri net and max/plus representations of the closed-loop FMS. This matrix approach is exploited to develop a MATLAB software which implements new functions for idempotent calculus in the semiring (R∪{-∞},max,+), and offers a large flexibility in changing the operating conditions and design specifications.

The paper describes the design considerations for modelling and simulation of mechatronic systems. The system is based on a component concept enabling the designer to pick component models that match the physical components of the setup to be modelled from a block library. Another important feature of the system is the ability to change the complexity of the simulation model in a simple, powerful and well structured way. This feature makes it simple for the designer to evaluate the influence of including different aspects of the components. The complexity can be changed both on the component level and for the whole model. This library that can be extended by the user contains standard components, such as DC-motors, potentiometers, encoders, pneumatic elements, and a Maple based facility to generate symbolic equations of motion. To evaluate the concepts the mechatronic Simulink library blockset has been implemented as a prototype based on MATLAB and Simulink and has been used to model several mechatronic systems. The library is presently being tested in different projects.

Based on information produced by a 200 kHz ultrasonic echo device developed for robotics and other industrial purposes, a method for object identification was developed and is presented in this paper. Interpretation of the echos from the reflecting objects, complexity analysis and information extraction were made by system identification methods such as impulse response analysis and state-space realization. A clustering-type discrimination of different objects based on the echo identification result was made in a subsequent step using the least-squares method. Experimental evaluation showed that the method is effective for object recognition.

This paper deals with simultaneous control of acceleration transmission, wheel load fluctuation, suspension deflection and sprung mass displacement. The control theory is based on the robust H/sub /spl infin// control theory with the consideration of the modeling errors lumped into an unstructured uncertainty acting on the unperturbed plant. The design method is new and powerful for electronic car suspension's control systems, as it presents a new approach to the designers for the computation of a controller maintaining robust stability while guaranteeing the performance in a wide frequency range, even in the case of the controller is applied to the actual plant. Additionally, the paper emphasizes that the assumptions in the modeling step may lead to unrealistic control designs and, as an example, the effect of the rigidity assumption on the behavior of the open loop system is discussed.
