Apparatus for monitoring an actuator system, method for providing an apparatus for monitoring an actuator system and method for monitoring an actuator system

A method for providing an apparatus for monitoring an actuator system with at least one actuator and at least one data output signal, the method comprising:

• providing an anomaly detector configured to detect, based on the at least one data output signal, an anomaly occurring in the actuator system, and further to output an anomaly signal indicating at least one anomaly time period in which the detected anomaly has occurred;
• providing a suppressing engine comprising a first artificial intelligence entity;
• configuring the first artificial intelligence entity and training the first artificial intelligence entity to determine, based on the at least one output signal, that an actuator-affecting intervention procedure has been performed in or on the actuator system, and to output a suppressing signal indicating at least one suppressing time period based on the actuator-affecting intervention procedure that has been performed;
• and
• providing a combiner logic configured to determine time periods of interest for the monitoring of the actuator system and to output a monitoring signal indicating the determined time periods of interest,
• wherein the combiner logic is configured such as to determine each anomaly time period indicated by the anomaly signal as a time period of interest if the suppressing signal does not indicate a simultaneous suppressing time period.

A method for monitoring an actuator system at least one actuator and with at least one data output signal, the method comprising:

• receiving the at least one data output signal;
• detecting, based on the at least one data output signal, an anomaly occurring in the actuator system;
• outputting an anomaly signal indicating at least one anomaly time period in which the detected anomaly has occurred;
• determining, using a first trained artificial intelligence entity, based on the at least one data output signal, that an actuator-affecting intervention procedure has been performed in or on the actuator system,
• outputting a suppressing signal indicating at least one suppressing time period based on the actuator-affecting intervention procedure that has been performed;
• determining at least one time period of interest for the monitoring of the actuator system, wherein each anomaly time period indicated by the anomaly signal is determined as a period of interest if the suppressing signal does not indicate a simultaneous suppressing time period;
• and
• outputting a monitoring signal indicating the determined time periods of interest.
