The invention relates to a
system for monitoring a technical device, in particular a drive apparatus, which
system has a capturing means, in particular an
image storage means, for reading in a first visual representation, in particular a
signal flow diagram, wherein the first visual representation contains information regarding at least one setting parameter and / or at least one measurement parameter of a controller, which is designed to control the device. Furthermore, the at least one setting parameter and / or the at least one measurement parameter is suitable for characterizing a state of thedevice. The
system preferably also has a scanning means for detecting at least one symbol, in particular
lettering, in the visual representation, in particular by means of
optical character recognition. Furthermore, the system preferably has a
database for associating at least one setting parameter and / or at least one measurement parameter with the at least one detected symbol. An interface to the controller preferably exists in the system in order to capture a value of the at least one setting parameter and / or of the at least one measurement parameter of the controller. Furthermore, the system preferably has an
image generation means for generating a second visual representation, wherein the
image generation means is coupled to the controller preferably in such a way that information ofat least one setting parameter and / or of the at least one measurement parameter is displayed with at least part of the first visual representation. Finally, the system preferably has an image displaymeans, in particular a screen, for presenting the generated second visual representation for the monitoring of the technical device.
