In the multivariable fault diagnosis of industrial process, due to the existence of correlation between variables, the result of fault diagnosis will inevitably appear "smearing" effect. Although the fault diagnosis method based on the contribution of multi-dimensional reconstruction is helpful when multiple faults occur. But in order to correctly isolate all the fault variables, this method will become very inefficient due to the combination of variables. In this paper, a fault diagnosis method based on kNN and MRBC is proposed to fundamentally avoid the corresponding influence of "smearing", and a fast variable selection strategy is designed to accelerate the process of fault isolation. Finally, simulation study on a benchmark process verifies the effectiveness of the method, in comparison with the traditional method represented by FDA-based method.

In fault diagnosis of industrial process, there are usually more than one variable that are faulty. When multiple faults occur, the generalized reconstruction-based contribution can be helpful while traditional RBC may make mistakes. Due to the correlation between the variables, these faults usually propagate to other normal variables, which is called smearing effect. Thus, it is helpful to consider the pervious fault diagnosis results. In this paper, a data-driven fault diagnosis method which is based on generalized RBC and bayesian decision is presented. This method combines multi-dimensional RBC and bayesian decision. The proposed method improves the diagnosis capability of multiple and minor faults with greater noise. A numerical simulation example is given to show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
