Abstract
A monitoring system for an industrial plant, in particular for a power station plant, has a number of plant parts which can be represented as information elements on a display unit. For the purposes of information compression, filtering and diagnosing faults in good time, the information elements can be displayed in a positioned manner by using process data that are relevant for a plant state in such a way that the distance between two information elements in each case represents the degree of their contextual similarity.
