Model-based fault detection and isolation method using ART2 neural network

摘要

This article presents a model-based fault diagnosis method to detect and isolate faults in the robot arm control system. The proposed algorithm is composed functionally of three main parts: parameter estimation, fault detection, and isolation. When a change in the system occurs, the errors between the system output and the estimated output cross a predetermined threshold, and once a fault in the system is detected, the estimated parameters are transferred to the fault classifier by the adaptive resonance theory 2 neural network (ART2 NN) with uneven vigilance parameters for fault isolation. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed ART2 NN–based fault diagnosis method. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
