Claim 9:
10. An industrial automation system for condition monitoring of an industrial plant having a plurality of assets using an industrial automation system, the industrial automation system comprising:
a data acquisition unit configured to receive operational data of the industrial plant, wherein the operational data comprises data corresponding to the plurality of assets;
a database unit communicatively coupled to the data acquisition unit and configured to store the operational data;
an authoring unit communicatively coupled to the database unit and configured to generate an information model by:
dynamically receiving a scheme for condition monitoring from a user formulated using a plurality of graphical blocks in a user interface, wherein the plurality of graphical blocks includes graphical representations of one or more input parameters, one or more function models, and one or more device type models, wherein the plurality of graphical blocks are interconnected by a plurality of interconnections provided by the user;
generating an information model based on the received scheme for condition monitoring using an engineering tool in a cloud infrastructure wherein the information model is representative of a dynamically received scheme for condition monitoring of the at least one asset and comprises condition monitoring logic for evaluating the states and condition of the at least one asset using one or more operational parameters associated with the received operational data; and
storing the information model in a machine readable file format on the cloud infrastructure; and

a condition monitoring unit communicatively coupled to the authoring unit and the cloud infrastructure and configured to process the operational data using the information model to generate a recommendation for a control action, wherein the control action comprises at least one of a storing of the recommended action on the cloud infrastructure, modifying at least one parameter of the operational data, and presenting the recommended control action on a human-machine interface.
