Abstract

The invention relates to a diagnosis system comprising a detection unit for detecting measuring data, a storage unit for storing measuring data, a diagnosis unit for classifying the operational states of the technical system and at least one server unit which is at least connected to the storage unit by means of which machine-readable data based on the HTML-language is produced. Said system enables diagnosis data of a technical system to be transmitted in a simple manner in the form of dynamic HTML pages, especially via the internet and to be evaluated.

Claims

1-5. -5. (canceled)

6. A diagnostics system configured to access and diagnose a plurality of remote stationary power stations, comprising:

a remote acquisition unit for collecting measurement data detected by sensors in the technical systems;

a memory unit connected to the acquisition unit so the measurement data can be centrally stored;

a local diagnostics unit connected to the memory unit for classification of operating states of the technical systems that are represented by the measurement data; and

a server unit connected to the memory unit that generates machine-readable data based on an HTML language.

7. The diagnostics system as claimed in claim 6, wherein portions of the machine-readable data are generated while a connection is established to the server unit of the diagnostics system by at least one client computer via a communications link by an Internet browser installed on the client computer and the parts of the machine-readable data are requested by the client computer.

8. The diagnostics system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the machine-readable data is transferred from the server unit to the client computer by the TCP/IP protocol via the communications link that includes an intranet and/or the Internet.

9. The diagnostics system as claimed in claim 6, wherein a dynamic operating and/or monitoring interface of the diagnostics system is formed by the machine-readable data.

10. The diagnostics system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the machine-readable data comprise HTML pages that are stored as pre-prepared, static data in a memory unit of the diagnostics system and are generated dynamically by the server unit by combining a page generation code and at least part of the measurement data stored in the memory unit.

11. The diagnostics system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the machine-readable data comprise HTML pages that are stored as pre-prepared, static data in a memory unit of the diagnostics system or generated dynamically by the server unit by combining a page generation code and at least part of the measurement data stored in the memory unit.
