In a method for monitoring plants with mechanical components, measured values (x,; x,) are determined at predeterminable time intervals for a fixed set of parameters (x,). The measured values (x,) which are determined for various working points during a modelling phase are used for the generation of a model for the operating behavior of the components. With the help of the model for the operating behavior at least one monitoring value (r; s,) is derived at predeterminable time intervals which is independent of the respective current working point. The temporal behavior of the monitoring value (r; s,) is used for estimating the wear in the components and/or for the detection of operating disturbances.
