Abstract

In the conventional technique, network performances of a machine and a server become different due to the diagnosis target machine when a fault symptom diagnosis function is provided to a plurality of different diagnosis target machines. Therefore, the plurality of different machines are not able to be handled using one system. The present invention is a fault symptom diagnosis system including: a diagnosis execution unit; an arrangement unit; a diagnosis target machine; a diagnosis server; and a network, wherein the diagnosis execution unit includes processing modules of a sensor input processing, a preprocessing, a diagnosis processing, and a postprocessing, and a common interface that connects the processing modules, and wherein the arrangement unit arranges and executes the processing modules in the diagnosis target machine or the diagnosis server.

Claims

1. A fault symptom diagnosis system, comprising:

a diagnosis execution unit;

an arrangement unit;

a diagnosis target machine;

a diagnosis server; and

a network,

wherein the diagnosis execution unit includes

processing modules of a sensor input processing, a preprocessing, a diagnosis processing, and a postprocessing, and

a common interface that connects the processing modules, and

wherein the arrangement unit arranges and executes the processing modules in the diagnosis target machine or the diagnosis server.

2. The fault symptom diagnosis system according to claim 1,

wherein the arrangement unit includes

a load data collection processing,

an arrangement destination determination processing, and

an arrangement execution processing, and

wherein the arrangement unit measures a processing load of each of the diagnosis target machine, the network, and the diagnosis server, and changes an arrangement/execution destination of the processing module to the diagnosis target machine or the diagnosis server according to a variation in the processing load.

3. The fault symptom diagnosis system according to claim 1,

wherein the common interface selects an input unit from among a file input, a memory input, a communication input, and a database input, and selects an output unit from among a file output, a memory output, a communication output, and a database output, and

wherein a data conversion unit converts the input data to be matched to the output unit in a case where types of the selected input/output units are different.

4. The fault symptom diagnosis system according to claim 1,

wherein the common interface stores a processing status of the processing module connected to an input of the common interface as a preprocessing status, and

wherein the arrangement unit terminates a processing of the processing module which is connected to an output of the common interface in a case where the preprocessing status is not normal.

5. The fault symptom diagnosis system according to claim 1, wherein the diagnosis target machine or the diagnosis server where the processing module is arranged is displayed in a screen.

6. The fault symptom diagnosis system according to claim 2,

wherein the arrangement unit includes service availability data indicating an arrangement availability of the processing module, and arranges only some of the processing modules in the diagnosis target machine or the diagnosis server using the service availability data.

7. The fault symptom diagnosis system according to claim 1,

wherein the processing module having the same type as that connected to an input of the common interface among the four types of processing modules is connected in series to an output of the common interface.

8. The fault symptom diagnosis system according to claim 1,

wherein the processing modules having the same type among the four types of processing modules are connected in parallel to an output of the common interface.

9. The fault symptom diagnosis system according to claim 2,

wherein dependency definition data is established between the processing modules, and

wherein the arrangement unit arranges the processing module to the diagnosis target machine or the diagnosis server to make the arrangement/execution destination of the processing module satisfy the dependency condition.
