Intelligent fault diagnosis by combination of CPCA monitoring and knowledge-based diagnosis
Combining the techniques of multivariate statistical process monitoring and knowledge-based fault diagnosis,an intelligent monitoring and fault diagnosis method for industrial process is proposed in this paper.The multivariate statistical consensus principal component analysis (CPCA) method is adopted to monitor the process,and to determine where and when the fault occurs.Moreover,the whole and regional statistical indices quantitative information as well as qualitative information,and the scores and contribution plot information are obtained by the CPCA method,and provided to the regional knowledge-based expert-system.Thus,from the application of this method to the continuous annealing process,the proper monitoring results which could not be achieved by the univariate moni toring and the reliable diagnosis conclusions can be achieved.
