Abstract

This paper proposes an embedded system architecture for fault detection and prediction in electrical actuators used in pipelines for oil and gas transportation. The proposed system incorporates a signal processing flow that requires low complex mathematical operations using ANSI-C language. However, when described in the hardware description language (HDL), it can be implemented in dedicated field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or ASIC. To prove its functionalities, a test bench was developed, which aims to reproduce in a laboratory some common faults and degradation processes that may occur in real-world field applications. A data acquisition equipment was used to collect the sensors information from specific points of the actuator. The sensor data collected and simulation were used to validate the propose fault detection methodology.
