A STATE-BASED APPROACH FOR DECENTRALIZED FAULT DIAGNOSIS IN DISCRETE-EVENT SYSTEMS

The fault diagnosis is a real requirement for the low cost automation as it can detect any system's fault and avoid the accompanying lost of productivity. We propose in this paper a decentralized fault diagnosis approach in order to reduce the complexity of the model proposed by centralized fault diagnosis approaches, which increases exponentially with the number of system's components. This allows reducing the expensive exploitation cost.
