Fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) is a subfield of control engineering which concerns itself with monitoring a system, identifying when a fault has occurred, and pinpointing the type of fault and its location. Two approaches can be distinguished: A direct pattern recognition of sensor readings that indicate a fault and an analysis ...
graph with an example of steps in a failure mode and effects analysis. Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA; often written with "failure modes" in plural) is the process of reviewing as many components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify potential failure modes in a system and their causes and effects.
Before detailed analysis takes place, ground rules and assumptions are usually defined and agreed to. This might include, for example: Standardized mission profile with specific fixed duration mission phases; Sources for failure rate and failure mode data; Fault detection coverage that system built-in test will realize
A fault tree diagram. Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a type of failure analysis in which an undesired state of a system is examined. This analysis method is mainly used in safety engineering and reliability engineering to understand how systems can fail, to identify the best ways to reduce risk and to determine (or get a feeling for) event rates of a safety accident or a particular system level ...
The construction of a failure detector is an essential, but a very difficult problem that occurred in the development of the fault-tolerant component in a distributed computer system. As a result, the failure detector was invented because of the need for detecting errors in the massive information transaction in distributed computing systems.
Faults that do not trigger a sustained requirement for fault isolation and fault recovery actions should not be displayed for management action. For example, lighting up a fault indicator in situations if human intervention is not required induces breakage by causing maintenance personnel to perform work when nothing is already broken.
Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving, often applied to repair failed products or processes on a machine or a system.It is a logical, systematic search for the source of a problem in order to solve it, and make the product or process operational again.
This restoration architecture is path-based and failure dependent, and is used after a fault occurs, for fault detection and isolation. This architecture is capacity-efficient due to the use of stub release but has a slow failure recovery time (the time it takes to reestablish traffic continuity after a failure by rerouting the signals on ...
