    摘要: A control device of a technical installation receives in normal operation cyclically measurement variables from sensors, and outputs control variables to actuators. In normal operation, the control device stores the history of at least some of the measurement variables at least for a limited time and monitors the measurement variables for the occurrence of a fault. If a fault occurs, the control device transmits a fault message identifying the fault and the history to a knowledge base. In response to the fault message and the histories, the control device receives a reply from the knowledge base and outputs the reply to an operator. Before the normal operation is performed, the control device receives from the operator specifications which allow the control device to defines the histories. In the event of a fault, the control device determines, in dependence on the specifications, which histories to transmit to the knowledge base.

    摘要: An anomaly detector for controlling a system is provided. The system comprises one or multiple tools to perform one or multiple tasks. The anomaly detector collects a feedforward signal indicative of a sequence of control inputs to the plurality of actuators and a feedback signal indicative of a sequence of outputs of the system caused by the plurality of actuators operated based on the sequence of control inputs. The anomaly detector further combines input state variables extracted from the feedforward signal and output state variables extracted from the feedback signal to form a sequence of extended states of the system. The attention model further encodes the sequence of extended states to produce an encoding of each extended state of the sequence of extended states in a latent space. The anomaly detector further detects an anomaly in a current operation of the system based on the encoded sequence of extended states.

    摘要: An embodiment wheel base includes a first base including a first wheel, a second base including a second wheel and coupled to the first base, a locking unit including a driving part and a fixing part operated by the driving part and selectively coupled to a plurality of fixing reception parts in the second base for coupling between the first and second bases, and a processor electrically connected to the locking unit, wherein, in response to receiving a base length adjustment command, the processor initializes a position value of the driving part acquired by a position value acquisition part, drives the driving part to achieve an unlocked state, and in response to an absolute value of the position value of the driving part acquired after the driving part is driven being less than or equal to a first reference position value, determines that an unlocking failure has occurred.

    摘要: A monitoring control apparatus includes: a display controller to display an alarm screen for notifying a plurality of abnormalities occurring in a monitoring target device provided in an electric power system; a selector to select a first abnormality among the plurality of abnormalities; a degree-of-association calculator to calculate, for each of one or more other abnormalities except for the first abnormality among the plurality of abnormalities, a degree of association of the other abnormality with the first abnormality; and an extractor to extract the other abnormality as an associated abnormality associated with the first abnormality when the degree of association of the other abnormality is not less than a threshold. The alarm screen includes an associated alarm for notification of the extracted associated abnormality.

    摘要: A plant operation data monitoring device comprises: an input section that receives operation data on a plant; and a calculator that includes databases storing the operation data received, and a computing section executing a program. The computing section stores the operation data received in a first database of the databases in time series. The computing section determines from peak values of the operation data stored whether gradients of the operation data are positive or negative, and then stores the gradients in a second database of the databases for positive gradients or in the second database of the databases for negative gradients in time series. The computing section determines threshold values for abnormality determination about the positive and negative gradients, divides the positive gradients and the negative gradients into normal values and abnormal values, and additionally stores the divided gradients in the second database for the positive or negative gradients.
