Abstract:
Nowadays, industrial necessities claims global management procedures integrating information systems in order to manage and to use the controlled-processes information and thus, to assure a good process behaviour. These aspects aim to the development of fault detection and diagnosis systems and making-decision systems. In this work, a reference model for fault management in industrial processes is proposed. This model is based on a generic framework using multi-agent systems for distributed control systems; in this sense, the fault management problem is viewed like a feedback control process and the actions are related to the making-decision in the preventive maintenance task scheduling and the running of preventive and corrective specific maintenance tasks.
