Failure-recovering sequential procedure teaching system and method thereof
First Claim
1. A failure-recovering sequential procedure teaching system comprises:
- a failure removal data recording section which records as a set of failure removal data an associated-portion state data representing prescribed associated-portion states at the time when the equipment to be controlled is in failure and a recovery sequence data representing a recovery sequencial procedure with which an operator performs his recovering operation;
a failure removal data analysis section which selects one or a plurality of associated-portion state data items corresponding to the same recovery sequence data among a plurality of sets of failure removal data and groups them as data of the same recovery sequence data, analizes said associated-portion state data in each recovery sequence group to produce failure-characterizing data typically representing the characteristics of the relevant failure state, and records the failure-characterizing data as the data paired with the corresponding recovery sequence data; and
a recovery sequence determination section which compares the corresponding associated-portion state data with each item of the failure-characterizing data as stored to determine the degree of match between an item of said corresponding associated-portion state data when a new piece of failure occurs and outputs the recovery sequence data corresponding to a high match-degree item of the failure-characterizing data.

Abstract
When a piece of failure occurs, the associated-portion state data items of a relevant equipment and the relevant recovery sequence operated by an operator are recorded as a set of data. At this time, the associated-portion state data items which fall within a plurality of sets of data and which correspond to the same recovery sequence are grouped as the same recovery sequence group. Simultaneously, the common elements to the associated-portion state data items which fall within each recovery sequence group are extracted and recorded as the elements paired with the corresponding recovery sequence. Thereby, when a new piece of failure occurs, relevant associated-portion state data items are compared with the common elements. Then, regarding the associated-portion state data item which coincides with the common element, the corresponding recovery sequence is outputted to teach it to the operator as an available recovery sequence. The failure state data items recoverable with the use of the same recovery sequence are learned by the system per se while analysis is being sequentially performed on the common elements, thereby producing accurate teach sequences with respect to a large number of failure state items by using a small number of data items base.
