Comparison of two different approaches to the design of an online diagnostic system

The current trend in the field of industrial diagnostics of the electrical appliances is to lower the maintenance costs by appropriate procedures of optimization of all processes from design, manufacturing, operation to decommissioning and recycling. Online monitoring of the current state of the monitored object and its gradual deterioration are becoming an important issue. Nowadays this topic is also very important in the concept of Industry 4.0 because the importance is given to asset management, which helps organizations to manage their assets. This could only be done by using a properly designed diagnostic system. This paper is dealing with the comparison of two different concepts of design and realization of an online diagnostic system, which creates the core of Condition Based Management approach.
