A new approach based on the Partial Least Squares (PLS) and Wavelet Transform is presented for the industrial process monitoring. A different scheme for applying PLS for multiple faults diagnosis is used in this approach. Because of multi-scale nature of the variable measurements in the most of industrial processes the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is applied to extract the multi-scale features of these measurements. Comparison of the ability of this Multi- Scale PLS (MSPLS) algorithm with the PLS to diagnosis the multiple faults in the Tennessee Eastman process (TEP) benchmark, demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed approach and indicates that this MSPLS algorithm can be useful for process monitoring and detection and diagnosis multiple faults.
