Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for monitoring an electromechanical component of an automation system. The method includes sensing a current mechanical state variable of the electromechanical component, sensing a current electrical state variable of the electromechanical component and determining a state of the electromechanical component based at least in part on a behaviour model of the electromechanical component, wherein the behaviour model takes into account an effect of the sensed current mechanical state variable on the sensed current electrical state variable.

A method for monitoring an electromechanical component of an automation system, comprising:
- sensing a current mechanical state variable of the electromechanical component;
- sensing a current electrical state variable of the electromechanical component;
- and
- determining a state of the electromechanical component based at least in part on a behaviour model of the electromechanical component, wherein the behaviour model takes into account an effect of the sensed current mechanical state variable on the sensed current electrical state variable, wherein the state of the electromechanical component is determined by running a behaviour simulation of the electromechanical component, wherein the behaviour simulation implements the behaviour model.
An electromechanical component comprising:
- a sensing device configured to sense a current mechanical state variable of the electromechanical component and a current electrical state variable of the electromechanical component;
- and
- a communication interface configured to transmit the sensed current mechanical state variable and the sensed current electrical state variable to a remote data processing device via a communication network for determining a state of the electromechanical component on the basis of a behaviour model of the electromechanical component, wherein the behaviour model takes into account an effect of the sensed current mechanical state variable on the sensed current electrical state variable, wherein the communication interface is configured to receive information about the determined state via the communication network, wherein the state of the electromechanical component is determined by running a behaviour simulation of the electromechanical component, and wherein the behaviour simulation implements the behaviour model.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code executable by a processor to:
- sense a current mechanical state variable of an electromechanical component of an automation system;
- sense a current electrical state variable of the electromechanical component;
- and
- determine a state of the electromechanical component based at least in part on a behaviour model of the electromechanical component, wherein the behaviour model takes into account an effect of the sensed current mechanical state variable on the sensed current electrical state variable, wherein the state of the electromechanical component is determined by running a behaviour simulation of the electromechanical component, wherein the behaviour simulation implements the behaviour model.
