Local Sensor Validation

Abstract
Current approaches to plant fault detection require an overall process model. This paper argues that a hierarchical scheme is more efficient in which the lowest level concentrates on validating the signals transmitted by individual sensors. Signals are described in terms of standard time-series models. A fault is defined by the signal's deviation from its expected behaviour and various signal processing techniques are described which detect these aberrations.
