It is commonly accepted that the requirements for maintenance and diagnosis should be considered at the earliest stages of design. For this reason, methods for analyzing the diagnosability of a system and determining which sensors are needed to achieve the desired degree of diagnosability are highly valued. This paper clarifies the different diagnosability properties of a system and proposes a model-based method for: 1) assessing the level of discriminability of a system, i.e., given a set of sensors, the number of faults that can be discriminated, and its degree of diagnosability, i.e., the discriminability level related to the total number of anticipated faults; and 2) characterizing and determining the minimal additional sensors that guarantee a specified degree of diagnosability. The method takes advantage of the concept of component-supported analytical redundancy relation, which considers recent results crossing over the fault detection and isolation and diagnosis communities. It uses a model of the system to analyze in an exhaustive manner the analytical redundancies associated with the availability of sensors and performs from that a full diagnosability assessment. The method is applied to an industrial smart actuator that was used as a benchmark in the Development and Application of Methods for Actuator Diagnosis in Industrial Control Systems European project |
