Abstract: The present invention provides a method for providing a fault diagnosis for at least one system, in particular of an aircraft. The method comprises: (a) providing a number N1, n1?[1, . . . , N1], of systems, wherein the n1-th system, in each case, provides a number N2, n2?[1, . . . , N2], of instances of a main function of a number N3, n3?[1, . . . , N3], of main functions of the aircraft; (b) providing a number N4, n4?[1, . . . , N4], of IMA modules, wherein in each case the n4-th IMA module provides resources at least for the respective n2-th instances of the main functions; (c) providing a generic diagnostic unit; (d) instantiating the generic diagnostic unit to provide a predetermined number N5, n5?[1, . . . , N5], of instances of the generic diagnostic unit; and (e) configuring the n5-th instance, in each case, of the generic diagnostic unit for adaption of the corresponding n5-th diagnostic unit to at least one system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fault diagnosis device for optimizing maintenance measures in a system, in particular a flying object. The diagnosis device has a storage unit for storing diagnosis rules, which each have a fault condition indicating the presence of a fault, and a fault conclusion formed by logical combinations of potential fault causes of the respective fault. Furthermore, a logic unit is provided, which logically combines those stored fault conclusions whose associated fault conditions are met and, on the basis of the combined fault conclusions, determines a logical diagnosis result having at least one fault cause hypothesis. A calculation unit subsequently calculates an occurrence probability for each fault cause hypothesis of the logical diagnosis result determined.
