Abstract
The invention relates to a method for monitoring a maintenance unit moving inside a pipeline, a state data signal generated by a first receiving and transmission unit due to a maintenance unit passing by being transmitted to at least one further receiving and transmission unit that is disposed at a distance along or in a pipeline, characterized in that the state data signal is provided with exact localization information by the first receiving and transmission unit, is routed via at least one further receiving and transmission unit in the direction of an interface device, and is supplied there to a SCADA system for analyzing the information that can be retrieved from the state data signal in quasi-real-time.

17. A method for monitoring a maintenance device moving in a pipeline, the method comprising the steps of:
-
generating a status data signal by a first sending and receiving unit when a maintenance device moves past the first sending and receiving unit; combining the status data signal of the first sending and receiving unit with an exact localisation tag to a combined status data signal; relaying the combined status data signal tag via at least one second sending and receiving unit, arranged on or along the pipeline at a distance from the first sending and receiving unit, toward an interface unit; and feeding the combined status data signal into a SCADA system in quasi-real-time for evaluation of the information obtainable from the combined status data signal. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
