US Patent 10008052 Model generation and monitoring system for a machine

A monitoring system for a machine having database, a memory storing first instructions, and a controller configured to execute the first instructions. The controller may be configured to receive a first input including selection of a sensor associated with a component of the machine, and a second input specifying a machine state, defining a first operating condition associated with the component. The controller may also be configured to receive a third input specifying generation of a component parameter based on a measurement from the sensor, and a fourth input specifying a fault condition associated with at least one of the measurement and the component parameter. The controller may generate a rule-set, including second instructions based on the first input, the second input, the third input, and the fourth input. The controller may also store the rule-set in the database.
