APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EVENT DETECTION TO SUPPORT MOBILE NOTIFICATIONS RELATED TO INDUSTRIAL PROCESS CONTROL AND AUTOMATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method includes obtaining information associated with multiple events in an industrial process control and automation system, where the information is obtained from one or more sources of data related to the industrial process control and automation system. The method also includes outputting the information to a notification system configured to generate multiple notifications for mobile end-user devices using the retrieved information. Obtaining the information associated with the multiple events includes using one or more queries to obtain at least part of the information from at least one of the one or more sources. The one or more queries support detection of events from the at least one source that is not configured or able to provide event information to the notification system.
