Method for monitoring driven machinery
First Claim
1. A method for operating a facility having a plurality of equipment combinations, each equipment combination is operable interactively with at least one other equipment combination, said method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of measured process parameters, in real-time, for each of the plurality of equipment combinations, wherein the equipment combinations include at least a driver machine and a driven machine;
determining, using a computer, at least one derived quantity from at least one measured process parameter associated with at least a first of the equipment combinations and from at least one measured process parameter associated with at least a second of the equipment combinations, wherein the at least one derived quantity is associated with at least one of the plurality of equipment combinations and is compared to a measured process parameter to verify an operability of at least one sensor; and
recommending a change to an equipment operation based on the measured process parameters and the at least one derived quantity.

Abstract
A method and system for operating a facility having a plurality of equipment combinations wherein each equipment combination is operating interactively with at least one of another of the plurality of equipment combination is provided. The method includes receiving, in real-time, for each of the plurality of equipment combinations, a plurality of measured process parameters, determining at least one derived quantity from the plurality of measured process parameters, and recommending a change to an equipment operation based on the measured process parameters and the derived quantities.
