Abstract

A method performed by one or more computer processors imports data from a machinery monitoring system into a control system. The machinery monitoring system is a system that measures machine measurement parameters of a machine, and the control system is a system that controls processes in which the machine performs a function. The method includes accessing a first knowledge base containing information about communicating with the machinery monitoring system, and accessing a second knowledge base containing information about communicating with the control system. The method also includes extracting configuration information from the machinery monitoring system via a communication bus. Information is entered by a user for use in creating an import configuration file, which file is used in preparing the control system to receive data from the machinery monitoring system. The entering of information is performed via a user interface operatively connected to the one or more computer processors. Based on the information accessed from the first and second knowledge bases, the configuration information extracted from the machinery monitoring system, and the information entered by the user, the import configuration file is created for use in preparing the control system to receive data from the machinery monitoring system. Data from the machinery monitoring system may then be transferred into the control system based on the import configuration file.
