Using immunological principles, a two (or three-) module algorithm is developed which is capable of launching a specific response to an anomalous situation. Applications are being developed for electromechanical drives and network power transformers. Experimental results illustrate an application to fault detection in squirrel-cage electric motors.27 pages Latex, 24 eps figuresAdaptation and Self-Organizing Systemstext
