Zusammenfassung:A method of diagnosing a malfunction of a process control system which includes at least one closed loop control loop comprising measuring a histogram of tracking error of the control loop, determining distortion of the tracking error relative to a Gaussian distribution, and indicating a malfunction in the process in the event a deviation from the Gaussian distribution of the tracking error exceeds predetermined limits.
