Diagnostics of a fault

Fault diagnosis is the process of pinpointing one or more root causes of issues, to the point at which corrective actions can be taken. This is often referred by the term fault isolation and is an essential component of operations management automaton systems. It consists of three steps including detection, localization and estimation.

Typical methods for fault diagnosis employ simulation to determine potential responses to a test in the event of different faults, and then record these expected results in a database. When a test experiment is performed, the actual results are compared with the expected ones. If the actual results match one of the expected results, the corresponding fault is identified. The process of identifying mistakes is usually iterative and referred to as a diagnosis tree.
