A toolbox for model-based fault detection and isolation

A toolbox for model-based fault detection and isolation (FDI) has been developed in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. It includes methods relying on analytical or qualitative models of the supervised process. A demonstration of each approach can be performed on a simulation of either a three-tank system, a cocurrent or a countercurrent heat exchanger. The results are displayed in a common format, which allows performance comparison. A user manual including guidelines for tuning method specific parameters is available.
