Abstract

In a process for monitoring a machine or installation, signals from sensors positioned on components of the machine or installation are transmitted to a signal-conditioning unit. Conditioned sensor signals from the signal-conditioning unit are further processed. The machine or installation components to be monitored are mapped in machine or installation objects, and the machine or installation objects are combined. Ultimately, rule-based monitoring statements are obtained utilizing the combined objects.
