Abstract

A method for monitoring an event in a power converter includes using record data after starting the power converter, wherein the record data do not indicate an error for a predetermined period of time after the power converter is started. Messages are assigned to error sources, and a degree of probability is calculated for an assigning process.

Claims (26)

1 .- 11 . (canceled)

12 . A method for event monitoring in a converter, comprising:

using log data of the converter which comprise labeling containing temporal information or relating to a sequence of logged messages pertaining to a fault or a warning and which prior to a start of the event monitoring do not show a fault for a predetermined time period after the start,

using for the event monitoring an evaluation of a combination of faults or warnings of at least a first type and of a second type, wherein the first fault type or warning type depends on a type of the converter, and the second fault type or warning type comprises user-defined faults and warnings,

generating user-defined messages based on a single signal or based on a combination of signals and using the user-defined messages for event monitoring in an individual environment of the converter,

determining a most probable technical root causes of a failure or a fault by using artificial intelligence,

training a machine learning algorithm and categorizing with the trained algorithm fault events into predefined cause categories,

training the artificial intelligence to indicate one or more fault sources based on a multiplicity of status messages, warning messages or fault messages, and

calculating in each case a probability for correctness of this indication.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the log data are used after a start of the converter.

14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the status messages, warning messages or fault messages are associated with the one or more fault sources.

15 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising calculating a probability for the association of the status messages, warning messages or fault messages with the one or more fault sources.

16 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the artificial intelligence is trained to perform the event monitoring.

17 . A method for event monitoring in a converter, comprising:

recording messages of the converter, with the messages having a time stamp and an identification and the identification including a message type, a text or a source of a message;

detecting an event from a sequence of messages of a different type, wherein a message is a fault or a warning;

generating user-defined messages based on a single signal or based on a combination of signals;

using the user-defined messages for event monitoring in an individual environment of the converter,

determining a most probable technical root causes of a failure or a fault by using artificial intelligence;

training a machine learning algorithm to categorize fault events into predefined cause categories;

training the artificial intelligence so as to indicate one or more fault sources based on, wherein several fault sources can be indicated, and

calculating in each case a probability for correctness of this indication.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the artificial intelligence is a cloud application, the method further comprising detecting with the artificial intelligence an output fault.

19 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the event monitoring is generated as set forth in claim 12 .

20 . Event monitoring of a converter, wherein the event monitoring comprises artificial intelligence and log file data from the converter are stored in a cloud, wherein the event monitoring is performed using a method as set forth in claim 12 .

21 . Event monitoring of a converter, wherein the event monitoring comprises artificial intelligence and log file data from the converter are stored in a cloud, wherein the event monitoring is performed using a method as set forth in claim 17 .
