Patent ID: 8433427

Claim:
A method for monitoring operation behaviour of a component of an industrial plant, the method comprising: reading out parameter identifiers of operation parameters of the industrial plant from an element of a control system of the plant; transferring the read parameter identifiers into an editable form; selecting some of these parameter identifiers in the editable form; generating a machine readable description containing the selected parameter identifiers together with commands for the control system to generate a structure of control system modeling elements representing the operation parameters of the selected parameter identifiers; forwarding the machine readable description to an element of the control system; instantiating elements and connections according to the machine readable description and generating a structure of control system modeling elements representing the operation parameters of the selected parameter identifiers by the element of the control system; generating a guide model for monitoring the component using the structure by the element of the control system; defining a time of a specified operation of the component; and using a behaviour of the operation parameters of the selected parameter identifiers at the defined time training the guide model for monitoring selected parameters during component operation by the element of the control system.
