“…In the industrial processes, to solve problems, early diagnosis can allow the performance of necessary procedures such as prevention. Thus, fault detection becomes a fundamental measure in the system control process, consequently, the importance of developing reliable methodologies for the diagnosis of the system becomes essential [ 7 ]. Therefore, FDD techniques can be used to monitor the functioning of systems, detect anomalies and in the occurrence of faults, be able to classify them.…”

To satisfy the market, competition in the industrial sector aims for productivity and safety in industrial plant control systems. The appearance of a fault can compromise the system’s proper functioning process. Therefore, Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) methods contribute to avoiding any undesired events, as there are techniques and methods that study the detection, isolation, identification and, consequently, fault diagnosis. In this work, a new methodology that uses faults emulation to obtain parameters similar to the Development and Application of Methods for Diagnosis of Actuators in Industrial Control Systems (DAMADICS) benchmark model will be developed. This methodology uses previous information from tests on sensors with and without faults to detect and classify the situation of the plant and, in the presence of faults, perform the diagnosis through a process of elimination in a hierarchical manner. In this way, the definition of residue signature is used as well as the creation of a decision tree. The whole process is carried out incorporating FDD techniques, through the Non-Linear Auto-Regressive Neural Network Model With Exogenous Inputs (NARX), in the diagnosis of the behavioral prediction of the signals to generate the residual values. Then, it is applied to the construction of the decision tree based on the most significant residue of a certain signal, enabling the process of acquisition and formation of the signature matrix. With the procedures in this article, it is possible to demonstrate a practical and systematic method of how to emulate faults for control valves and the possibility of carrying out an analysis of the data to acquire signatures of the fault behavior. Finally, simulations resulting from the most sensitized variables for the production of residuals that is generated by neural networks are presented, which are used to obtain signatures and isolate the flaws. The process proves to be efficient in computational time and makes it easy to present a fault diagnosis strategy that can be reproduced in other processes.
