Abstract

The combined problem of fault detection and classification (referred to as fault diagnosis) of Direct Current (DC) electric motors via a simple, yet powerful, technique based on an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is proposed. The ability of an ANN in identifying patterns with high fidelity—without the need of any rigorous mathematical model of the system under investigation—leads to an excellent diagnosis performance, even for faults that result in almost indistinguishable output system responses (both in time and in frequency domain). The flexibility and speed of the presented method indicate that it can easily be applied to on-line fault diagnosis as well.

Footnotes
1
Artificial Neural Networks have been successively used on a variety of applications, including computer vision, speech recognition, machine translation and many more.
 
2
The model of the DC motor is exclusively used for the data generation of the healthy and faulty system.
 
3
Brush faults are quite common failures in DC motors, and they are typically a consequence of unsmooth contact of the brushes, dirty collector or brushes, unadjusted brush pressure springs, oval shaped collector and consumed brush life [1].
 
4
More evidently for the healthy case and the faulty scenario where \(L_{a}\) is increased by 200%.
 
5
TensorFlow was developed by the Google Brain team, and can be found at https://​www.​tensorflow.​org.
 
6
Over-fitting is the production of an analysis that corresponds too closely or exactly to a particular set of data, and may, therefore, fail to fit additional data or predict future observations reliably.
