Control effector health capabilities determination reasoning system and method
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining the response capabilities of a control effector, the method comprising the steps of:
- processing, in a test module, at least command data and sensor data associated with the control effector to generate control effector health data representative of control effector health; and
processing the control effector health data in a reasoner to;
(i) selectively indict and clear one or more faults,(ii) determine one or more failures caused by indicted faults, and(iii) determine, based on the one or more determined failures, a usable range of control effector commands to control the control effector with the usable range of commands.

Abstract
A system and method for determining the response capabilities of a control effector are provided. Command data and sensor data associated with the control effector are processed to generate control effector health data representative of control effector health. The control effector health data are processed in a reasoned. The reasoned is configure to selectively indict and clear one or more faults, determine one or more failures that cause indicted faults, and determine, based on the one or more determined failures, a usable range of control effector commands to which the control effector can respond.

6. A system for determining the response capabilities of a control effector, comprising:
-
a test module adapted to receive at least command data and sensor data associated with a control effector, the test module configured, upon receipt of these data, to generate control effector health data representative of control effector health; and a reasoner coupled to receive the control effector health data and configured, in response thereto, to (i) selectively indict and clear one or more faults, (ii) determine one or more failures caused by indicted faults, and (iii) determine, based on the one or more determined failures, a usable range of control effector commands to control the control effector with the usable range of commands. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
