Glossary of terms<br />
• Fault Scenario: A particular failure of the system. In this thesis, it is characterized by the<br />
system data that is logged at the moment a failure occurs, in addition with the actual broken<br />
component.<br />
• Field Replaceable Unit (FRU): a component of a system that can be replaced by a substitute.<br />
• Field Service mode: special use of the system, especially made for diagnosing it.<br />
• First Principles: a set of cause-to-effect relations between system parameters.<br />
• Flat Detector (FD): a device to measure the presence <strong>and</strong> amount of x-ray.<br />
• Frontal St<strong>and</strong>: the mechanical body that has the collimator <strong>and</strong> flat detector on its far ends.<br />
It can be positioned relative to the patient in order to transmit X-ray through the patient.<br />
• Geometry: a subsystem of the Philips Cardio-Vascular X-Ray System, as defined by [16],<br />
that is responsible for mechanical movements of the system. It consists of mechanics as well<br />
as the related hardware <strong>and</strong> software components.<br />
• Granularity: level of abstraction <strong>and</strong> detail.<br />
• Health variable: state of the system, either healthy or unhealthy.<br />
• Health vector: vector with the health variables of all components in the target system as<br />
elements.<br />
• Human inference: the activity of humans to use their knowledge about nominal <strong>and</strong> faulty<br />
system behavior to reason about possibly faulty components.<br />
• Job sheet: a document type within PMS C/V in which a service engineer documents on the<br />
history of diagnosis <strong>and</strong> repair of a particular system.<br />
• Junction movement: see beam propeller movement.<br />
• Log data (log/logging): system data in the form of a digital file that consists of data that a<br />
system produces during real-time operation.<br />
• LUC: Local Universal Controller. This is dedicated hardware unit that implements the generic<br />
part of a controller for mechanical movements.<br />
• LUC Extension (Ext): Extension of a Local Universal Controller. This is a dedicated hardware<br />
unit that implements the part of the controller of a mechanical movement that is specific<br />
for that particular movement.<br />
• Look-Up Table (LUT): a table that defines a mapping between symptoms <strong>and</strong> consistent<br />
diagnoses.<br />
• LYDIA (Language for sYstem DIAgnosis): a language for specifying the model for MBD,<br />
developed at <strong>Delft</strong> University of <strong>Technology</strong>.<br />
• Mode of Operation: a state of a component in which it obeys an unique behavioral rule.<br />
• Mode Catalog: a table that specifies all possible observations for each health vector, <strong>and</strong> can<br />
be derived from a consistency-based model of a system.<br />
