From Detection to Action: Using LLM Agents for Fault-Tolerant Control

- 构建多智能体流程,将运维任务分解为监测、规划、验证等环节。
- 在模拟环境中验证动作可行性,确保修复方案安全可靠。
- 适合工业控制领域研究者与自动化工程师参考应用。
我们提出一种基于大语言模型(LLM)的主动容错控制(FTC)框架,将故障检测结果转化为基于工厂知识的约束感知恢复动作。该方法包含三部分:(i) 多智能体工作流,将操作员职责分解为监控、规划、动作生成、仿真、验证和重提示;(ii) 数字化工厂孪生系统(DPPT),提供工厂数据、模型及仿真服务用于执行前测试;(iii) 基于CPSMod本体的图式检索增强生成(Graph RAG)层,将工厂知识(结构、功能、混合动态、控制上下文与故障语义)组织成图,支持关系感知的多跳检索。纠正动作以最小风险的状态机路径形式生成,包括离散命令或连续设定值调整,并在执行前通过联锁、运行包络与动态可行性进行确定性验证。若在限定时间内未找到可接受方案,则切换至安全备用控制。在两个典型基准上进行仿真评估:离散批次混合模块与闭环PID调节下的连续搅拌釜反应器(CSTR)。使用轻量级LLM(GPT-4o-mini 和 GPT-4.1-mini)的结果表明,语义引导的智能体可在符合过程动态延迟预算的前提下生成有效恢复决策,展示了在离散与连续容错控制任务中从检测到验证动作的实用路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We propose an agentic Large Language Model (LLM) framework for active Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) that transforms fault detection outputs into constraint-aware recovery actions grounded in plant-specific knowledge. The approach couples (i) a multi-agent workflow that decomposes operator duties into monitoring, planning, action synthesis, simulation, validation, and reprompting; (ii) a Digital Process Plant Twin (DPPT) that exposes plant data, models, and a simulation service for pre-execution testing; and (iii) a Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (Graph RAG) layer built on the CPSMod ontology, which organizes plant knowledge (structure, function, hybrid dynamics, control context, and fault semantics) into a graph that supports relation-aware, multi-hop retrieval for the agents. Corrective actions are generated as minimal-risk state-machine recovery paths and corresponding discrete commands or continuous setpoint adaptations, then validated deterministically against interlocks, envelopes, and dynamic feasibility before any actuation. If no acceptable plan is found within a bounded time window, control is handed to a safety fallback. The framework is evaluated in simulation on two representative benchmarks: a discrete batch Mixing Module and a Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor (CSTR) under closed-loop PID regulation. Results with lightweight LLMs (GPT-4o-mini and GPT-4.1-mini) show that semantically grounded agents can derive valid recovery decisions within latency budgets compatible with the respective process dynamics, demonstrating a practical pathway from detection to validated corrective action across both discrete and continuous FTC tasks.
