Abstract

A diagnostic device and diagnostic method for monitoring operation of a technical system with an automation system, wherein values of process variables, which were previously automatically determined as relevant to a diagnosis by analyzing a program for a sequential function chart, are determined when each step of the cycle to be checked is executed and evaluated based on at least one predetermined self-organizing map acquired based on fault-free cycles during a system operation with repeatedly run step sequences such that automatic preselection of the process variables is which are relevant to the diagnosis is performed such that misdiagnoses can advantageously and largely be avoided and the reliability of the diagnostic statement can be increased.
