Abstract
A diagnosis facility and diagnostic method for monitoring the performance of a technical plant with an automation system. In the performance of a plant with step sequences that run repeatedly, deviations of the time response in a cycle of the step sequence that is to be checked from the time response for fault-free cycles are detected and displayed by evaluation of the data set, using the self-organizing map. To this end, the durations of the execution of each step in the step sequence that is to be checked are determined and evaluated using a predetermined self-organizing map that has been learned using fault-free cycles. This type of evaluation has the advantage that the self-organizing map can be learned automatically and consequently hardly any knowledge of the respective process that is running on the plant is required for the diagnosis.
