Abstract:
1. A logging system for detecting, conditioning and presenting installation-specific and/or process-specific operator control actions, process reports, alarm reports, system events, installation parameters and digital text messages for a technical installation or a technical process having at least one input apparatus that automatically converts audible information and information that is present in written form into digital text messages and provides said information, together with information relating to operator control actions, information relating to navigation steps performed and further text information that is present in digitized form, for a processing unit, comprising: a processing unit for automatically attributing timestamps to digital text messages, information relating to operator control actions and navigation steps performed, or for linking said timestamps thereto; at least one search module provided in the processing unit for attributing an appropriate context, together with time series data, provided from at least one data archive, from process signals and alarm reports, system events and installation parameters, to particular events, and the digital text messages, operator control actions, process reports, alarm reports, system events; and a search module for retrieving installation parameters conditioned in this manner upon a complete search integrated in the search module, for presentation as an operating log or event log, wherein adapters for transmitting the text messages from the detection unit to the processing unit are forseen, wherein the adapters normalize, standardize and/or filter the text messages based on prescribable parameters, and wherein the adaptor that handles the audible signals is configured to identify a short name for a signal and to use a preconfigured table in order to identify the signal name and attribute it to the log entry.
