The aim of the invention is to achieve a process monitoring system structured such that it is easily configured in an application-specific fashion. This aim is attained according to the invention by a process monitoring system comprising a first action module (1) suitable for performing an action assigned thereto, wherein a data storage medium (11) comprises a communications medium (13) such that it is able to transmit or receive data, wherein the data may be stored in the data storage medium (11), wherein the action module (1) comprises an action medium that causes a retrieval of data (111, 112) stored in the data storage medium (11) as a function of an occurring event and makes said data (111, 112) accessible to other modules of the process monitoring system by means of the communication medium (13). A process monitoring system based on the concept according to the invention is able to cover very complex applications and may be achieved in a flexible and cost-effective fashion.
A process monitoring system comprising a first action module (1, 2, 3) suitable for performing an action assigned thereto, in which the action module (1, 2, 3) includes a data storage means (11) and a communications means (13), thereby enabling it to transmit or receive data, and comprising an action means (14) that causes data stored in the data storage means (11) to be accessed as a function of an event that has occurred, and makes these data available to other components (1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 12, 20, 30) of the process monitoring system via the communication means (13).
