FAULT DIAGNOSIS DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING MAINTENANCE MEASURES IN TECHNICAL SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A fault diagnosis device for optimizing maintenance measures in a system comprising:
- a storage unit for storing diagnosis rules, which each have a fault condition indicating the presence of a fault, and a fault conclusion formed by logical combinations of potential fault causes of the respective fault;
a logic unit, which logically combines those stored fault conclusions whose associated fault conditions are met and, on the basis of the combined fault conclusions, determines a logical diagnosis result having at least one fault cause hypothesis; and
comprising a calculation unit, which calculates an occurrence probability for each fault cause hypothesis of the logical diagnosis result.

Abstract
The present invention provides a fault diagnosis device for optimizing maintenance measures in a system, in particular a flying object. The diagnosis device has a storage unit for storing diagnosis rules, which each have a fault condition indicating the presence of a fault, and a fault conclusion formed by logical combinations of potential fault causes of the respective fault. Furthermore, a logic unit is provided, which logically combines those stored fault conclusions whose associated fault conditions are met and, on the basis of the combined fault conclusions, determines a logical diagnosis result having at least one fault cause hypothesis. A calculation unit subsequently calculates an occurrence probability for each fault cause hypothesis of the logical diagnosis result determined.

15. A method for optimizing maintenance measures in an object of a system comprising the following steps:
-
providing diagnosis rules, which each have a fault condition indicating the presence of a fault, and a fault conclusion comprising a logical combination of potential fault causes of the fault; logically combining those fault conclusions whose associated fault condition is met in order to determine a logical diagnosis result having at least one fault cause hypothesis; calculating an occurrence probability for each fault cause hypothesis of the logical diagnosis result determined. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

23. A maintenance device for the maintenance of flying objects at a destination airport comprising:
-
a radio interface for receiving occurrence probabilities of fault cause hypotheses from a flying object; and
comprisinga maintenance unit, which prepares maintenance procedures (TSP) associated with the fault cause hypotheses in accordance with the received occurrence probabilities of fault cause hypotheses and automatically performs them successively after the flying object has landed at the destination airport.
