The Internet of Things (IoT) has been growing. In a Field Area Network (FAN), where various IoT devices with different protocols and data formats are connected, faults can easily occur due to the FAN's instability. In this paper, a novel platform is proposed to provide a fault management function to the complicated FAN. The platform hides the differences between the devices by virtualizing them and provides fault analysis methods flexibly according to the FAN components with a plug-in structure.
