  • Virtual sensor on a higher-level machine platform
    Patent number: 12153413
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing a virtual sensor in an automation system of an industrial system. A measurement value of a physical sensor, said measurement value corresponding to a physical parameter of the industrial system, is received in a processing device of the automation system. A data set which has been generated using a simulation model is provided in the processing device, wherein the data set produces a unique relationship between possible measurement values of the physical sensor and corresponding output values of the virtual sensor. The data set and the received measurement value are used to determine which output value of the virtual sensor belongs to the received measurement value (20), and said output value is then displayed on a display device of the industrial system.
