Abstract
A method for visualizing and validating process events in process monitoring systems, wherein a permanently installed sensor system reports states to a process monitoring system, if predefined limit values are exceeded, then the process monitoring system initiates, plans and performs local data acquisition using a mobile sensor, where the result of this data acquisition is analyzed and visualized in the process monitoring system and is integrated in the state information relating to the process or the installation.
Claims5
A method for visualizing and validating process events in process monitoring systems, the method comprising:
- reporting, by a sensor system permanently installed at an installation, operational states of one of (i) process events and (ii) the installation to a process monitoring system;
- initiating, planning and performing, by the process monitoring system, local data acquisition utilizing a mobile sensor when predefined limit values are exceeded;
- and
- analyzing a result of said data acquisition visualizing said result in the process monitoring system and integrating said result into state information relating to one of (i) the process events and (ii) the installation.
A system for controlling and monitoring technical processes and installations, comprising:
- means for acquiring, storing and evaluating process-relevant and installation-relevant data;
- means for process events;
- a controller;
- means for initiating alarms when limit values of predefined process parameters or installation parameters are exceeded or not reached;
- and
- a task server component which, after initiation of local data acquisition utilizes a mobile sensor, plans and controls a sequence of data acquisition and analyzes a result of the data acquisition.
