Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure includes a method for monitoring an automation system having a multiplicity of field devices arranged in a spatially distributed fashion and configured to acquire or set a primary process variable that is dependent on the process. The field devices are also configured to each acquire at least one secondary environmental variable and have at least one superordinate process control unit for controlling the process. The method includes transmitting the acquired environmental variables to a superordinate database and analysis platform and monitoring the automation system using the database and analysis platform. To monitor the automation system, the database and analysis platform compares the acquired transmitted secondary environmental variables with comparative environmental variables which represent a usual state of the automation system, in order to detect an unusual state in the automation system.
