Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimized Fuzzy Petri Net for Motor-Bearing Fault Diagnosis

Petri net is a widely used fault-diagnosis algorithm. However, it presents poor fault-diagnosis effectiveness and accuracy caused by the parameter setting and adjustment, depending entirely on expert experience in a system with a single input signal type. To address this problem, a comprehensive learning particle swarm optimized fuzzy Petri net (CLPSO-FPN) algorithm is proposed for motor-bearing fault diagnosis. CLPSO is employed to obtain an adaptive system parameter set to reduce the fault-diagnosis error caused by human subjective factors. Moreover, a new proposed concept of the transition influence factor replaces the traditional transition confidence to improve the nonlinear expression ability of traditional Petri nets, which suppresses the space explosion problem of the fault-diagnosis model. Finally, experiments are implemented on a dataset of motor bearings. Compared with traditional faults diagnosis methods, the proposed method realized better performance in the fault location and prediction functions of motor bearings, which is beneficial for troubleshooting and motor maintenance.
