TAKES DATA => COMPARES WITH EXPECTED OPERATION => ADVISES
Based on Models of Normal Plant Operation and Normal Operating Data Evaluated Continuously in Real-time
Concurrently Determines:
If Models Close (Validation) or Not (Fault Detection);
If Measurements & Conditions In Control or Not (SPC)
Automatically Creates and Evaluates Rules of Fault Hypothesis (Method of Minimal Evidence -patent pending)
Reports Validation, Fault Analysis Diagnosis & SPC Results
MODELS ARE THE KEY

The real value of right information at the right time!
A former Foxboro manager appreciates our approach as: “being rigorous enough to identify the problems without being too complex or expensive, combined with being easy enough to configure and maintain.”
“Compared to other approaches, FALCONEER is more fundamental with easily configurable and understandable equations and logic”, according to FMC

Method of Minimal Evidence (MOME) is that it provides a uniform framework for examining process models and their associated modeling assumption variables.
All unevaluated process models describing normal process operation can be characterized as functions of the following quantities (see above).
Once evaluated with actual process data and standard or extreme values of unmeasured parameters, a residual results (i.e., (i) below) which is just a function of process sensor noise and any currently occurring modeling assumption deviations..
Process engineers provide the primary process models, which are all linearly independent of each other.
The MOME methodology derives and adds additional, secondary process models from combining primary models, which improve the discrimination ability of the process model set.
The patterns of expected residual behavior that result from applying this method (e.g., the diagnostic rules) contain the minimum patterns required to diagnose each of the possible fault situations.
This directly maximizes the sensitivity of the fault analyzer for these various faults, maximizes the resolution (discrimination between various possible faults and non-fault events) of that analysis, and optimizes its overall competence when confronted with multiple assumption deviations.
