An approach for supporting automated fault isolation and recovery is provided. A notification configuration option is transmitted to a browser interface utilized by a user associated with a customer network that is monitored by a service provider, wherein the user selects the notification configuration option to input notification information. The notification information is received, via the browser interface, from the customer. A notification message is received from a platform configured to create a workflow event in response to an alarm indicative of a fault within the customer network, wherein isolation and recovery of the fault is performed according to the workflow event, the notification message including information about the customer network during the fault isolation and recovery process. The notification message is transmitted in accordance with the stored notification information.

An approach for supporting automated fault isolation is provided. An alarm is received indicating a fault within a customer network that includes one or more network elements. The customer network being monitored by a service provider. A script is retrieved for specifying a dialogue with the network elements for data collection. A command is transmitted to the customer network according to the one script to obtain data from the network elements, wherein the data is utilized to determine the fault. Further, a workflow event corresponding to the alarm is generated, wherein resolution of the fault is automated according to the workflow event.

The motor speed control circuit senses average back EMF as a measure of motor speed. The back EMF charges a capacitor circuit which accumulates charge and develops a voltage indicative of the motor speed. A sample and hold circuit may be used to sample the back EMF when the motor is switched off during each cycle. This voltage is compared with a reference voltage indicative of the desired motor speed. An error signal is generated by comparing the desired speed with the actual speed and this error signal is used to generate a variable duty cycle pulse train which gates the power controlling transistor on and off to control motor speed. A logic gated or SCR gated voltage boosting circuit operates in synchronism with the gating pulse train to drive the power transistor hard into saturation. This lowers the resistance of the power transistor, causing less energy dissipation as waste heat. The motor speed control circuit produces a family of torque-speed curves which maintain speed constant until a break point is reached, whereupon speed falls inversely proportional to torque.

A local buffer circuit for use with a magnetostrictive transducer is disclosed wherein the magnetostrictive transducer includes a pickup coil and the local buffer circuit includes two diodes in parallel with the pickup coil to clip or short the energy produced in the pickup coil generated by an interrogation pulse, and also includes a common emitter amplifier to reduce the electrical impedance of the pickup coil, also in parallel with the pickup coil.

An approach for supporting automated fault isolation and recovery is provided. An alarm indicative of a fault within a customer network is received. An event within a workflow is created in response to the alarm, wherein a new trouble ticket is generated as part of the workflow. Communication with a trouble management system is performed to correlate the alarm with an existing trouble ticket. The new trouble ticket is associated with the existing trouble ticket.

An approach provides support for automatic fault isolation in a managed services system. A fault indication corresponding to a communications network of a customer is determined. An analysis is performed to determine a root cause of the fault indication using information associated with the determined fault to output an alarm. A determination is made whether the alarm is associated with a maintenance event to update the alarm. Further, a workflow event corresponding to the alarm is created.
