Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a failure diagnosis system uses sensors to detect diagnosis target information, then abnormality detection capability is improved, but sensor installation complexity and difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores the correspondence relationship between diagnosis sites and sensor installation locations in a storage unit before actual diagnosis operations. This preliminary preparation allows users to simply select a diagnosis site and automatically receive guidance on where to install sensors, eliminating the need for users to have specialized knowledge about optimal sensor placement while ensuring accurate abnormality detection.
2Measurement precision
If the system stores detailed correspondence data between diagnosis sites and sensor locations, then diagnosis precision is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically manages the complex correspondence data between diagnosis sites and sensor installation locations through self-contained storage and retrieval mechanisms. The presentation unit automatically presents the appropriate sensor installation location when a user selects a diagnosis site, without requiring manual configuration or complex user intervention. This automation maintains high diagnosis precision while keeping the system easy to operate.
3Ease of operation
If the system provides comprehensive presentation information for sensor installation, then ease of operation is improved, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and separates the complex information processing function into a dedicated presentation unit that specifically handles the display and guidance of sensor installation locations. This unit takes out the complexity of managing correspondence data and presents it in a simplified, user-friendly manner through a designation reception unit and presentation unit interface, making sensor installation easy while containing the processing complexity within a specialized module.

AI summary
A failure diagnosis system includes a sensor that is provided in a diagnosis target device and detects diagnosis target information of the diagnosis target device, an abnormality determination unit that determines whether or not an abnormality occurs in the diagnosis target device based on the diagnosis target information detected by the sensor, a storage unit that stores a site of the diagnosis target device where the abnormality determination is possible and a sensor installation location where a sensor needs to be installed for the abnormality determination of the site, a designation reception unit that receives designation of a site where the abnormality determination is performed, and a presentation unit that executes predetermined presentation processing. The presentation processing by the presentation unit includes processing of presenting the sensor installation location where the sensor needs to be installed to perform the abnormality determination of the designated site.
