Abstract

A method for monitoring an installation having a networked topology, wherein measured values characterizing a state of the installation at the measuring point in question are captured and transmitted to a control-center apparatus, which determines state values indicating a state of the installation. The state values are used to show the state of the installation and they are compared with state threshold values that bound an operating range of the installation. A graphical representation is produced only for those state values for which a past or imminent violation of the associated state threshold value is detected. A visual display of a network topology is displayed on a display. Location information indicating the position of the state value in question in the installation is associated with each of the state values, and each representation is displayed at the point corresponding to the position of the representation in the installation.
