Method for analyzing process signals of a technical plant, in particular a power plant
First Claim
1. In a method for analyzing process signals of a technical plant performing a plant process subdivided into functional units, the improvement which comprises:
- checking if a process signal is a component of a functional unit, for each process signal and each functional unit;
determining a degree of correlation of each two process signals from the number of the functional units in which they are jointly a component; and
displaying the process signals correlated with a predetermined process signal as information elements positioned relative to one another for representing the degree of their correlation by a spacing between each two information elements, and positioning the information elements representing the most highly correlated process signals at the least spacing from one another.

Abstract
A method for analyzing process signals of a technical plant, in particular a power station plant, having a system process subdivided into functional units, includes performing simplified signal tracing for a diagnosis or a forecast of a system state by checking if a process signal is a component of a functional unit, for each process signal and each functional unit. Thereafter, a degree of correlation between each two process signals is determined with the aid of the number of those functional units in which they are jointly a component. Subsequently, the process signals correlated with a prescribed process signal are represented as information elements that are positioned relative to one another in such a way that the distance between each two information elements represents the degree of their correlation.
