Abstract:
A method for monitoring the continuous data flows between the output of data transmission devices and the input of data processing equipment connected downstream, comprising:counting the transmitted data at the output of the data transmission device in time intervals with adjustable parameters; reproducing a data flow based on the counted data; storing the transmitted data over several intervals and compressing the data into an average value; erasing the oldest value in each case when a new value is received; using the average value of the measured data formed by means of the FIFO-buffer as the input value for a sensitivity curve generating a time window for the period comparison of the added data for an error detector; initiating with the error detector the selection mode for accessing a predefined data source in a suitable data network, wherein said error detector signalizes a total failure of the data to be transmitted in the predetermined time unit; and feeding the data received into the respective data supply system via interfaces.
