  • Patent number: 12410795
    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.
