Diagnostics of a fault
Fault diagnosis is the process of identifying one or more root causes of problems, up to the point at which corrective actions can be taken. This is generally called fault isolation, and is a key component of operations management automation systems. It includes three steps including detection, localization and estimation.
Common methods for fault diagnosis employ simulation to determine potential responses to a test when there are various faults, and then store these expected results in databases. Then, after an experiment is conducted the actual results of the experiment are compared with these expected results. If the actual results are the same as the expected ones then the issue is identified. The process of identifying mistakes is usually iterative, and described as a diagnosis tree.
