Abstract: A method and a device (MON) for monitoring plasma-discharges during a surface treatment process are described. In this process electrodes within a gaseous medium are provided with an alternating voltage (UHV) for generating plasma. The monitoring device (MON) has a detector device (M1) for detecting a measurement signal (I) generated by the alternating voltage (UHV) within the gaseous medium, separating means (M2) for separating signal components above a preset frequency and evaluating means (M3) for evaluating the resulting separated signal components by comparing them with at least one preset reference. Preferably the generating of the plasma is achieved by dielectric barrier discharge and the electric current penetrating the medium, especially the dielectric displacement current, is measured as the measurement signal (I).
