Condition monitoring and process control data are typically observed separately. Also certain equipments like electric motors offer several measurements which are not followed at the process control. Within the Prognos-project combining data from electric motor control system with process data is studied by pilot scale tests and by industrial tests. A Labview based tool for data diagnosis is developed. Results of the study show that the motor current measurements can be used for process situation and equipment condition diagnosis and also with historical perspective for prognosis.
