Model-based diagnostic interface for a vehicle health management system having a system model with a system nomeclature
First Claim
1. A method for evaluating one or more failures of a system having system information representing relationships within said system and system data representing the status of said system, the method comprising the steps of:
- modeling a hierarchical system to include a model nomenclature representation of the system information, model information and nomenclature, system failure mode information and nomenclature, and telemetry information and nomenclature, using the system data;
mapping the system information, the model information and nomenclature, the system failure mode information and nomenclature, and the telemetry information and nomenclature into a binding function, using the model nomenclature representation;
binding the system information, the model information and nomenclature, the system failure mode information and nomenclature, and the telemetry information and nomenclature using the binding function, thereby generating a bound system;
generating an optimized model-based diagnostic interface for runtime execution, using the bound system;
determining one or more system failures, using the bound system and the optimized model-based diagnostic interface; and
determining a root cause of one or more of the systems failures, using the bound system and the optimized model-based diagnostic interface.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for a model-based diagnostic interface. An apparatus is provided for a diagnostic interface for a system having system data, system information, and a system model having a model nomenclature, the diagnostic interface comprising at least one computational object producing an output responsive to said system data, wherein said at least one object includes a binding of said system data to said system information, wherein said system data is mapped to said model nomenclature before being bound. A method is provided for making a model-based diagnostic interface for a system having system information and system data representing the status of said system, the method comprising the steps of modeling said system to create a system model having a system model nomenclature, mapping said system data into said system model nomenclature, and binding said system data mapped to said system model nomenclature to said system information.
