METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING MONITORING CHARACTERISTICS IN AN SOA BASED INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a method and system for providing monitoring characteristics in an industrial environment on the basis of a service oriented architecture (SOA), for the purpose of allowing monitoring of changes in state of a process and/or of production equipment of an industrial plant. The changes in state are obtained by analyzing feature-based monitoring characteristics provided as a service by components of the industrial plant to be monitored as monitoring components. Service orchestrators generate new model-based monitoring characteristics using physical or logical rules of a process model. The model-based monitoring characteristics are provided as a service and can be provided by means of a service-oriented network for arbitrary linking in a control system comprising a service orchestrator.
