System for determining fault causes
First Claim
1. A system for determining fault causes, the system automatically determining hypotheses in a context of a fault cause analysis and performing an automated performance of hypotheses verification, the system comprising:
- a data input and visualization device;
a data memory containing a general fault model, a fault event list, an empirical database and a storage area for storing a log of current fault cause analysis; and
a data processing device connected to said data input and visualization device and to said data memory, said data processing device containing a processing unit for performing the fault cause analysis, a first comparator connected to said processing unit, a second comparator connected to said processing unit, and a hypothesis selector connected to said processing unit, following a selection by a user of a fault event provided by the fault event list, said data processing device displaying possible hypotheses to the user, carrying out a hypotheses verification process on selected hypotheses and, one of logging and displaying determined fault causes.

Abstract
A system for determining fault causes, including automated determination of hypotheses in the context of a fault cause analysis and automated performance of hypotheses verification, has a data processing device connected to a data input and visualization device and to a data memory. The data processing device contains a processing unit for fault cause analysis, a first comparator, a second comparator and a hypothesis selector. The data memory contains a general fault model, a fault event list, an empirical database and a storage area to store a log of the current fault cause analysis. The data processing device, following the selection of a fault event from the displayed fault event list by a user, to display to the latter hypotheses suggested by the system, following the selection of hypotheses to be verified, to carry out hypotheses verification and, as the result, to log and display determined fault causes.
