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 />
