Industrial Monitoring Data Model for Multi-Source Fault Analysis

The patent introduces an intermediary layer (data model adaptation layer) that sits between multiple industrial automation systems with native data models and the monitoring system. This intermediary adapts and converts various native data models into a common standardized data model, enabling data integration without direct complex point-to-point connections between systems. The intermediary handles protocol translation and data format normalization, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high adaptability.

The patent implements a universal common data model that can represent multiple native data models from different industrial automation systems. This common data model serves as a multi-functional interface that can accommodate various protocols (OPC UA, OPC DA, Modbus, etc.) and data formats, allowing a single monitoring system to integrate data from diverse sources without requiring separate integration mechanisms for each system type.

The patent implements a dynamic view creation mechanism where graphical views and application configurations can be dynamically generated and customized based on user requirements without requiring extensive reprogramming. The system allows users to create, modify, and configure views dynamically using the adapted common data model, enabling quick customization for different customers and specialists while reducing development time.

The patent performs preliminary data adaptation and organization by converting all native data models into a common standardized format in advance. This preliminary action creates a unified data foundation that can be easily accessed and configured for different applications. By pre-adapting the data model structure and establishing common data representations, the system reduces the engineering effort required for subsequent application development and customization.
