  • Patent number: 11902373
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of control system elements (CSEs) and a control system platform (CSP) including a data repository and operatively connected to the plurality of CSEs, and configured to: receive, from a CSE of the plurality of CSEs, a state logging message including measurement device state information (MDSI) and a control system element identifier (CSEI); store the MDSI in the data repository; process the MDSI to obtain analytic information; obtain, from the data repository, client device notification criteria (CDNC) associated with the CSEI; perform a comparison between the MDSI and the analytic information against the CDNC; determine, based on the comparison, that at least one notification trigger specified in the CDNC has been met; generate, in response to determining, an analysis notification message comprising the MDSI and the analytic information; and transmit the analysis notification message to a client device operatively connected to the CSP via a network.
