  • METHOD FOR VERIFYING THE PLAUSIBILITY OF SENSOR INFORMATION IN A PLANT PROCESS
    Publication number: 20240385580
    Abstract: An aspect of the invention relates to a method for verifying the plausibility of sensor information sensed by a sensor device associated with a plant process, in particular a water treatment process and/or a wastewater treatment process, wherein the sensor information relates to the plant process, the method comprising: receiving (S100), by a control unit, the sensor information; performing (S110), by the control unit, a verification model, the verification model determining an expected sensor information which the sensor device shall provide, wherein the verification model determines the expected sensor information based on at least one other information related to the plant process and having a relationship to the sensor information; comparing the expected sensor information with the received sensor information; and upon determining (S120) that the sensor information deviates from the expected sensor information, outputting (S130), by the control unit, a verification signal.

  • METHOD FOR DETERMINING A CONDITION INDICATOR OF AN APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20150051844
    Abstract: A method for determining a condition indicator of an apparatus includes providing an apparatus configured to measure at least two different technical parameters. A respective parameter value is determined for each of the at least two different technical parameters of the apparatus using at least one sensor configured to determine a respective parameter value for each of the at least two different technical parameters. A respective deviation value of each of the parameter values is determined with respect to an associated respective parameter reference value for each of the technical parameters. A respective deviation relevance value is determined from each of the deviation values using a respective parameter-specific deviation relevance function for each of the parameter values, the parameter-specific deviation relevance functions being different from each other. Using an indicator function, a condition indicator is calculated from the determined deviation relevance values.
