METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACQUIRING AND STORING DATA FROM A PRODUCTION PLANT

A method and a system acquire and store data from a production plant in order to provide relevant data for a fault analysis. Here, the production plant is allocated a data server, with the aid of which production data acquired by measurement are buffered. By a data input of a data processing device, additional information, which an operator inputs, can be acquired. By an event monitoring functional unit belonging to the data processing device, an evaluation of production data is carried out cyclically, the event monitoring system has access to production data in the data server, as well as to the additional information, on the basis of monitoring criteria which are contained in a stored script, and stores relevant production data in one of a number of databases depending on the event detected.
