Abstract

Methods and systems for a monitoring system for data collection in an industrial environment including a data collector communicatively coupled to a plurality of input channels connected to data collection points operationally coupled to an industrial component in at least one of an oil processing system or gas processing system; a data storage structured to store a plurality of stored process condition states; a data acquisition circuit structured to interpret a plurality of detection values from the collected data; an expert system detection circuit structured to detect a process condition in response to the plurality of detection values, wherein the expert system detection circuit generates a process condition notification if a process condition is detected that matches one of the plurality of stored process condition states; and a response circuit structured to provide an alert in response to the process condition notification.
