Abstract

The invention relates to a method for operating a system, for example a roll stand for processing a product in a working process. In a first method step a), the method provides that vibrations at a system are detected in the form of a first temporal vibration signal, in order to subsequently transform same into an amplitude spectrum in the frequency domain in step b). Within the frequency domain, risk regions are predefined in order to check whether individual peaks of the amplitude spectrum extend at least partially into the risk regions (step c)). If they do, the magnitude of the risk for operation of the system is evaluated according to method step d), in particular insofar as the risk is based on a component of the system which is represented by the peak extending into the risk region. At least one countermeasure is proposed and implemented to change or maintain this risk, steps e) and f).
