  • Publication number: 20220333599
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling and/or monitoring a compressor system comprising several components, namely one or more compressors (11, 12, 13) and one or more peripheral devices (14 to 21), and also a control/monitoring unit (22), wherein the compressors (11, 12, 13) and peripheral devices (14 to 21) are arranged or connected in a certain configuration. The method distinguishes itself in that in a measured-value-capture step, measured values are captured within the compressor system or the components, in an allocation step, context information is allocated to the measured value or measured values in advance, simultaneously, or after the measured-value capture, in order to standardize the measured values, and in an evaluation step, the measured value or measured values standardized by the context information is used in a control, monitoring, diagnostics, or evaluation routine.

  • Publication number: 20220025881
    Abstract: A method for controlling and/or monitoring a compressor system is provided. The compressor system includes one or more compressors and one or more peripheral devices. The compressors and peripheral devices are arranged or connected in a predetermined configuration. The compressor system is controlled and/or monitored by a control/monitoring unit. The method involves creating one or more derived models on the basis of one or more initial models of the compressor system that are based on a P&I diagram. The derived models take into account the operative interrelationships among the individual compressors and peripheral devices, and optionally also dynamic processes. The one or more derived models form the basis for subsequent control, monitoring, diagnosis or evaluation routines.

  • Publication number: 20210172434
    Abstract: A method for controlling and/or monitoring a compressor system is provided. The compressor system includes one or more compressors and one or more peripheral devices. The compressors and the peripheral devices are arranged or connected in a predetermined configuration. The compressor system is controlled and/or monitored by a control/monitoring unit. After creation of the compressor system, the concretely existing configuration is input in the form of a P&I diagram by an editor and forms the basis for subsequent control, monitoring, diagnosis or evaluation routines.
