Device and method for classifying two-state variables of a cyclically-operating system comprising subunits
First Claim
1. A method for classifying two-state variables of a cyclically operating system including subunits characterized in that the following steps are performed:
- a recording step wherein dated state changes are recorded for each of said variables during a determined time T, a calculation step wherein, from the dated state changes and for each of the variables, the different durations (D1) between two consecutive passages to a first state (E1) on the one hand and the different durations (D2) between two consecutive passages to a second state (E2) on the other hand, are determined so as to create duration lists (LD1) and (LD2), a processing step wherein, for each variable, the different duration lists (LD1) and/or (LD2) are compared to the different lists of durations (LD1) and/or (LD2) of the other variables and the number of occurrences thereof so as to classify said variables in groups each corresponding to at least one of the subunits of said system.

Abstract
The invention relates to a device and method for classifying two-state variables of a cyclically-operating system comprising subunits. The inventive method comprises the following steps: a recording step consisting in recording dated state changes noted for each of the variables during a determined time T; a calculation step consisting in using the aforementioned dated state changes in order to determine, for each of the variables, (i) the different durations (D1) between two consecutive passages to a first state (E1) and (ii) the different durations (D2) between two consecutive passages to a second state (E2), such as to create duration lists (LD1) and (LD2); and a processing step consisting in, for each variable, comparing the different duration lists (LD1) and/or (LD2) to the different duration lists (LD1) and/or (LD2) for the other variables and the number of occurrences thereof, such as to classify said variables into groups, whereby each group corresponds to at least one of the subunits of the system.
