In this paper, the ''passive approach'' to robust fault detection and isolation (FDI) is presented in the context of observer methodology, when a model with parameters bounded in intervals (''interval model'') is used, deriving the interval version corresponding to the classical use of observers. The passive approach is based on allowing the effect of the uncertainties to propagate into the residuals and then the principle of adaptive thresholds is used to achieve robustness. Finally, the approach proposed is applied to detect some of the faults proposed in an industrial actuator used as an FDI benchmark in the European RTN DAMADICS. r
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
