ASSET-SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT HEALTH MONITORING (EHM) FOR INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT USING STANDARDIZED ASSET MODELS
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one input interface configured to receive at least one input signal associated with an asset, the asset comprising a piece of equipment;
at least one processing unit operable to be pre-configured to identify a specified fault in the asset using the at least one input signal and an asset-specific model that comprises a combination of standard subsystem models; and
at least one output interface configured to provide an indicator identifying the fault.

Abstract
A system includes at least one sensor and an equipment health monitoring (EHM) unit. The at least one sensor is configured to measure one or more characteristics of an asset, where the asset includes a piece of equipment. The EHM unit includes at least one sensor interface configured to receive at least one input signal associated with the asset from the sensor(s). The EHM unit also includes at least one processing unit operable to be pre-configured to identify a specified fault in the asset using the input signals and an asset-specific model that includes a combination of standard subsystem models. The EHM unit further includes at least one output interface configured to provide an indicator identifying the fault. The standard subsystem models could include standardized fault models configured to identify faults for standard assets.

16. A method comprising:
-
pre-configuring an equipment health monitoring (EHM) unit with an asset-specific model that comprises a combination of standard subsystem models that model an asset, the asset comprising a piece of equipment; receiving at least one input signal comprising measurement data associated with the asset; analyzing the at least one input signal to determine if a specified fault has occurred; and outputting an indicator identifying the specified fault when it is determined that the specified fault has occurred. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
