  7. Model-Based Diagnostic Technology Diagnostician Diagnostic Knowledge Base • Instead of depending on hard-coded troubleshooting logic trees, the Diagnostician uses a knowledge base that is derived from the design of the system! Diagnostician is a set of “reasoning” algorithms that correlate all possible faults to all possible symptoms, or test results to provide fast, effective fault isolation. • Dynamically bases its determinations based on a snapshot of current fault possibilities. • Diagnostic Profiler provides an automated development and maintenance process.

  9. Dynamic Reasoning Techniques Any data input: discrete, parametric, analysis, s/w or h/w, operational, observable conditions, etc. Uses all test data to collapse the field of possible faults Cones of Evidence Produced by Pass and Fail Data Minimum Set Covering Algorithms

  10. Test Results Faults "Dynamic" Diagnostic Capability • Performance Monitor • System Sensors • Built-in Test • Start-up BIT • Periodic BIT • Operator Initiated • Test Results can be input • … in any order • no pre-set sequence • … from any source • operator observations, test instruments, data bus, data file, built-in test, automatic test equipment, system panels & displays, etc. • … as many as test source(s) can provide • not restricted to one-at-a-time to traverse fault tree • zeroes-in on cause of fault(s) • Can identify multiple faults • … Diagnostic trees follow single-fault assumption • Will always zero in on fault • … Never leaves the technician hanging • Only requests tests of diagnostic significance • … Based upon snapshot of current fault possibilities Test Data SNAPSHOTS System Status Test Request Fault Call-Out Repair Procedure Fault Recovery Data Log Inference Engine Embedded System Interrogation System Status Fault Description Fault Evidence Maintenance Procedures Troubleshooting Guidance Repair Options Data Log Parts Ordering

  11. What is the Diagnostic Profiler? • A software tool for developing fault isolation diagnostics for test program sets (TPS) or interactive electronic technical manuals (IETM). • An engineer uses it to create a diagnostic database (dkb file), which communicates with the test program through a dynamic link library (dll file).

  12. What is the Diagnostician? • The Inference Engine (Runtime tool) that uses the Diagnostic Knowledge Base (DKB) for diagnostic reasoning

  13. How they work together • A developer uses the Diagnostic Profiler to develop and maintain a diagnostic knowledge base • The TPS/runtime environment uses the Diagnostician to access the Diagnostic Knowledge Base to: • Provide runtime information (Pass/Fail statuses) • Identify next best test, callout information, etc. (see Diagnostician Users Manual for complete list of queries).

  14. UUT Testing • Test Engineering • Determining tests/measurements and requirements for pass/fail status • Diagnostic Engineering • Determining what fault isolation can be inferred from pass/fail data.

  15. Traditional Diagnostic Method • Program a fixed logic tree for each test failure. • When a test fails, the program runs through the logic tree. • It measures one node signal after another, until it finds the one that is wrong. • It then calls out the components associated with that node. Repair/Replace: U2

  16. Traditional Diagnostic Method • Issues • Engineer must code EVERY test path Code Tests Code Logic

  17. Traditional Diagnostic Method • Issues • Each test path inherits fault coverage from the previous test. • Each test’s callouts are dependent on the previous tests that were run • A change at any point in the logic tree affects, possibly breaks tree • Updating Tree/Recoding = Rework Repair/Replace: ??

  18. Traditional Diagnostic Method • Issues • Quality of logic tree is only as good as engineer that created it. • Developers have to manually track • Tree flow • Inherited coverage at each point • Manageable for smaller circuits, gets complicated for multi-page schematics

  19. Diagnostic Profiler • Diagnostic Model is created for each test Profiler determines functional circuitry by using a net list. The Diagnostician clears circuits when a test passes, and suspects them when it fails. • When a test fails, the Diagnostician takes over the test sequence. • It runs tests until it cannot clear any more circuits. • It then calls out the suspected circuits (the components in them) that have not been cleared. Probe 1 Ckt Ckt Ckt Test1 1 2 3 Ckt Test 2 4 Ckt Test 3 5 Ckt Ckt Ckt Test 4 6 7 8 Probe 2

  20. Diagnostic Profiler • Advantages • Engineer codes ONLY the Test Modules Probe 1 Ckt Ckt Ckt Test1 1 2 3 Ckt Test 2 4 Ckt Test 3 Code Tests 5 Ckt Ckt Ckt Test 4 6 7 8 Probe 2

  21. Diagnostic Profiler • Advantages • Diagnostic Reasoning: Diagnostician always finds the best diagnostic path to take • Logic Tree is dynamic-Diagnostician finds Available/Useful tests based on test failure • Example: • Test 1 Fails • Test 2/Probe 1 are now Available/Useful Tests • Probe 1 runs, and Passes Probe 1 Ckt Ckt Ckt Test1 1 2 3 Ckt Test 2 4 Ckt Test 3 5 Ckt Ckt Ckt Test 4 6 7 8 Repair/Replace: Circuit 3 Probe 2

  22. Diagnostic Profiler • Advantages • Each test has its own diagnostic model in the database • Removing/Changing/Adding a test does NOT break logic tree. • Model is re-compiled; Profiler finds best diagnostic path with new list of Available/Useful tests. • Example: • Test 1 Fails • Test 2 is now the only Available/Useful Test • Test 2 runs, and Passes Probe 1 Ckt Ckt Ckt Test1 1 2 3 Ckt Test 2 4 Ckt Test 3 5 Ckt Ckt Ckt Test 4 6 7 8 Repair/Replace: Circuit 2, 3 Probe 2

  23. Diagnostic Profiler • Advantages • Test Engineering/Diagnostic Engineering are 2 separate, concurrently running processes • TPS Quality is maximized • Test Engineer focuses on Test Requirements/quality of test • Diagnostic Engineer focuses on diagnostic significance of tests

  24. Benefits • Advantages • Enhanced Diagnostic Capability • Reduced Runtimes • Go-Chain runs only tests that are truly required • Many Legacy TPS have diagnostics embedded in Go-Chain • Diagnostic Database always finds best diagnostic path

  25. Dynamic Reasoning Capability • Will be better than traditional diagnostics • Algorithms use pass & fail data, minimum set covering, etc., which gives better diagnostic resolution for test data • Will cost less to implement • No Hard-Coded Diagnostic Logic • Will be easier to Update & Maintain • Design Changes / Test Changes easily introduced to Knowledge Base

  30. Prognostics Framework • Uses design-based engineering model coupled with Inference Engine to provide a deterministic method of real-time condition assessment (“first principles of design”) • Condition Monitoring (Condition-Based Prognostics) • Condition Based prognostics monitors outliers to failure onset • Includes a variety of algorithms to identify the onset of failure conditions or anomalous operations • Life Usage Monitoring (Reliability-Based Prognostics) • Reliability Based Prognostics uses de-rated failure rates and accumulates operating time against the units. Contextual stress factors are used as a multiplier of operating time accumulated against the unit • Maturation process used to verify and adjust de-rated failure rates and stress factor weighting • Can also be applied to track preventive maintenance intervals based on operating hours, stress factors, elapsed time intervals or calendar intervals
