Method and system for diagnosis of plant
First Claim
1. A plant diagnosis method, comprising steps to be executed by a diagnosis computer in a diagnoser'"'"'s unit, including:
- a step of accepting a primary diagnosis request inputted from a terminal in a user'"'"'s unit, a step of issuing a questionaire for urging the user to input necessary data for a primary diagnosis including characteristic symptoms of abnormality of an objective plant or machinery thereof, on accepting the primary diagnosis request, a step of executing a primary diagnosis of the objective plant or machinery thereof based on the necessary data inputted by the user and optionally plant data sampled by a plant data collecting and processing means in the plant, to issue a primary diagnosis report, wherein the primary diagnosis includes a primary diagnosis result indicating a possible cause of abnormality and means for allowing the user to select a repetition of the primary diagnosis as an alternative to means for requesting a secondary detailed diagnosis.

Abstract
A plant diagnosis system friendly to a user (a plant-operating organization) for identifying an abnormality of an objective plant or machinery thereof, is provided. The plant diagnosis system includes a diagnoser'"'"'s sub-system including a diagnosis computer and a terminal for a diagnosis expert and is connected via a network to a user'"'"'s sub-system including a terminal for communicating with the diagnoser'"'"'s sub-system. The plant diagnosis system provides a simple but repetitively available primary diagnosis and a detailed secondary diagnosis including the expert'"'"'s judgement, which are selectively available on the user'"'"'s initiative. The diagnosis computer receives a diagnosis request and plant state variables of the plant or machinery and executes the primary diagnosis and a part of the secondary diagnosis based on the plant state valuables.
