DAMADICS

Xarxa Europea de formació en investigació, FP5-RTN-1999-00392. 1999 -2002

Objectives

DAMADICS concerns the development of on-line diagnostic tools for application in the power, food processing and chemical industries. The research and training will focus on the development and integration of a wide range of faults diagnosis techniques within the framework of real application for a sugar factory. The study will include an investigation into fault diagnosis methods for valves (and others) plant actuators with a view to extending the capability of intelligent actuation systems.
