Method and device for determining a full error description for at least one part of a technical system, computer program element and computer-readable storage medium
First Claim
1. Method for determining a full error description for at least one part of a technical system, by means of a computer, where the system is described by means of a stored system description which can be processed by the computer, where the system description contains information on elements available in the system and on the links between them, where an element error description is determined for each element taken into consideration, using a stored error description which is respectively associated with a reference element, by means of which possible errors of the respective element are described, where possible errors of a respective reference element are described by means of an error description of the reference element, where at least one part of the reference elements is grouped into a reference element group, where a group error description is determined for the reference elements of a reference element group using a stored group error description which is respectively associated with a reference element group, by means of which possible errors of the reference elements of the reference element group are described, and where a full error description is determined from the element error descriptions and the group error descriptions, taking into account information on element links.

Abstract
Disclosed is a full error description for a technical system which is described by means of a system description which can be processed by a computer and stored. The system description contains information on elements available in said system and information on the links therebetween. An element error description is determined for each element taken into consideration, using a stored error description which is respectively associated with a reference element. At least one part of the reference elements is grouped into a reference element group and a group error description is determined for the reference elements of a reference element group using a stored group error description which is respectively associated with a reference element group, enabling possible errors of the reference elements of the reference element group to be described. A full error description is determined from the element error descriptions and the group error descriptions, taking into account information on element links.
