Abstract:
This paper describes a technique for achieving on-line fault diagnosis in continuous systems that are modeled using Petri nets. The effect of place markings and transition markings are considered and based on the computed error between the initial marking and subsequent markings evolved in time, the faults are categorized assuming that the markings are both observable and unobservable. An algorithm has been suitably proposed for achieving detection of faults for a typical continuous three tank system along with suitable results.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...

Homogeneity dictates that if an input x(t) is multiplied by a constant c, the output y(t) is multiplied by the same constant. Mathematically, this is expressed as:
