Fault Diagnosis of Discrete Event Systems under Time Constraints

Abstract

This paper is about the fault diagnosis of discrete event systems (DES) under time constraints. The DES contains a series of tasks with well-defined time intervals for each, collected during repetitive runs of the system. The repetitive runs allowed us to calculate average function time for each task. The objective is to propose an algorithm that verifies the correct behavior of each individual task within the system. To illustrate the principal of the algorithm, we will apply it with two concrete examples. This algorithm is easy to implement and operate, and is very useful for all types of systems.
