Fault Diagnosis of Hydraulic Servo Valve Based on Genetic Optimization RBF-BP Neural Network

Abstract

Electro-hydraulic servo valves are core components of the hydraulic servo system of rolling mills. It is necessary to adopt an effective fault diagnosis method to keep the hydraulic servo valve in a good work state. In this paper, RBF and BP neural network are integrated effectively to build a double hidden layers RBF-BP neural network for fault diagnosis. In the process of training the neural network, genetic algorithm (GA) is used to initialize and optimize the connection weights and thresholds of the network. Several typical fault states are detected by the constructed GA-optimized fault diagnosis scheme. Simulation results shown that the proposed fault diagnosis scheme can give satisfactory effect.
