METHOD OF MONITORING A STATE OF A COMPONENT AND/OR A PROCESS VALUE, AND PROCESS VALVE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019044 titled 'METHOD OF MONITORING A STATE OF A COMPONENT AND/OR A PROCESS VALUE, AND PROCESS VALVE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for monitoring the state of a component or process value by detecting and comparing certain characteristic values with defined values. For each deviation from the defined value, a mean value of the deviation or characteristic value is calculated and stored in a storage cell within a preset time interval. This process is repeated for successive time intervals until all storage cells are filled. Once all cells are filled, a mean value is formed from the values of two consecutive cells and stored in a single cell, overwriting the previously stored value. The remaining cells are then used to store subsequently detected values.
- The method monitors the state of a component or process value by comparing characteristic values with defined values.
- Deviations from the defined value are calculated and stored in storage cells within preset time intervals.
- Mean values of deviations or characteristic values are calculated and stored.
- Once all storage cells are filled, mean values are formed from consecutive cells and stored, overwriting previous values.
- The remaining cells are used to store subsequent detected values.
Potential Applications:
- Industrial process monitoring and control
- Quality control in manufacturing
- Environmental monitoring
- Medical device monitoring
Problems Solved:
- Provides a method for continuously monitoring and comparing values to detect deviations from defined values.
- Allows for the calculation of mean values and other statistical measures to assess the state of a component or process.
- Enables the storage and analysis of historical data for trend analysis and troubleshooting.
Benefits:
- Early detection of deviations from defined values, allowing for timely corrective actions.
- Continuous monitoring and analysis of component or process values.
- Statistical analysis and trend identification for proactive maintenance and optimization.
- Efficient use of storage space by overwriting previously stored values.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method of monitoring a state of a component and/or a process value including detecting and comparing at least one value characteristic of the state to be monitored with a defined value, and/or a process value, wherein, for each deviation of the detected value from the defined value, a mean value of the deviation or of the detected characteristic value is calculated and/or a maximum value and/or a minimum value and/or a count value is determined and first stored in a first storage cell within a preset first time interval. the further storage cells are successively filled in the same way for one respective preset time interval until all storage cells present are filled with a corresponding value. when all storage cells are filled, a mean value is formed from the values of respectively at least two storage cells filled immediately one after the other and is stored in a single storage cell, the previously stored value being overwritten, and the storage cells in which the previously stored value has not been overwritten being used for storing the subsequently detected values.
