Abstract
This paper proposes self-maintenance module which has self-maintenance function, using the model-based reasoning technology based on qualitative physics and is independent of object machine system. This paper aims at realization of self-maintenance module as module type equipment, in order to add to a common object machine system. In order to realize this, this paper proposes dividing reasoning mechanism and reasoning by cooperation of two or more modules. This realizes the high system configuration of extendibility despite the diversity of object machine systems. Furthermore this paper proposes the design support system for self-maintenance module which supports designing the self-maintenance system composed of self-maintenance modules, and makes it optimal for each object machine system, in consideration of processing efficiency of the system, cost to realize this system, and reliability of this system itself, to the diversity of the object scale which changes with object machine systems.
