ABSTRACT:
A fault diagnosis system for diagnosing faults in complex equipment. The system includes means for storing a set of diagnostic signatures which relates a set of known faults which may occur in the equipment to respective fault symptoms which are deemed indicative of said known faults; and means for processing the diagnostic signatures and a set of fault symptoms identified for a current state of the equipment to calculate diagnostic data for identifying a fault causing the current state of the equipment. The diagnostic data includes a plurality of values which are indicative of different relative non-zero likelihoods of each of a plurality of different known faults causing the current state of the equipment.
