This paper introduces the rough set theory and ROSETTA software characteristics, gives a diesel engine fault diagnosis system based on rough set theory and the vibration signal of cylinder head. Taking a certain type large power diesel engine as an example, the first to be extracted from the cylinder head vibration signal wavelet packet de-noising and time-frequency domain analysis, constructed eigenvalue for fault diagnosis, then use ROSETTA software reduction feature attributes, finally completed fault pattern classification through the neural network. By comparing the output results of the neural network before and after processing by the ROSETTA software, show that rough set theory can optimize the feature attributes, effectively reduce the input of the neural network nodes, and improve the fault classification accuracy.
