Abstract: With the development of information technology, the research and application of remote failure diagnosis system are arising in the world. This paper puts forward a model based on multi-agent system for remote fault diagnosis system. The function of each tier is defined. The structure of the agents in each tier is discussed and the mechanism of communication and cooperation among agents is briefly introduced.

Key words: Agent, MAS, Remote fault diagnosis
