Industrial control system smart hardware monitoring

A computerized device for automatic monitoring of control systems, comprising:

• at least one computerized processing unit for executing processor instructions;
• a learning module which analyze a plurality of electronic measurement values measured by at least one electronic hardware analog data collection device which is connected to a monitoring network and electronically connected to at least one conductor electronically connecting between at least one computerized control device and at least one device controlled by said at least one computerized control device, said plurality of electronic measurement values are measured on said at least one conductor, and automatically calculates at least one normal data pattern of said of electronic measurement values, using said at least one computerized processing unit;
• a monitoring module which performs and automatic monitoring of said at least one device which is controlled by said at least one computerized control device by matching between at least one new electronic measurement values measured on one of said at least one computerized control device and said at least one normal data pattern to detect automatically at least one abnormal data pattern, using said at least one computerized processing unit;
• and
• at least one data interface for receiving said plurality of electronic measurement values via the monitoring network, receiving said at least one new electronic measurement value and sending an abnormal operation alert to be presented on at least one monitoring interface, in response to said detected abnormal data pattern.

A computer program product for automatic and remote monitoring of control systems, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium;
• first program instructions to use a monitoring network interface to receive from at least one electronic hardware analog data collection device through a monitoring network, plurality of electronic measurement values measured on at least one conductor electronically connecting between at least one computerized control device and at least one device controlled by said at least one computerized control device, said at least one electronic hardware analog data collection device being electronically connected to said at least one conductor;
• second program instructions to acquire said plurality of electronic measurement values from said at least one electronic hardware analog data collection device;
• third program instructions to calculate automatically at least one normal data pattern, based on an analysis of said plurality of electronic measurement values;
• fourth program instructions to match between at least one new electronic measurement value measured on said at least one computerized control device and said at least one normal data pattern;
• fifth program instructions to detect automatically at least one abnormal data pattern;
• and
• sixth program instructions to automatically send an abnormal operation alert to be presented on at least one monitoring interface, in response to said abnormal data pattern detection;
• wherein said first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth program instructions are of a method for performing remote and automatic monitoring of said at least one device which is controlled by said at least one computerized control device;
• wherein said first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth program instructions are stored on said non-transitory computer readable storage medium.
