MONITORING METHOD FOR OPERATING A NUMBER OF ONE OR MORE DRIVE DEVICES, IN PARTICULAR FOR OPERATING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, AND SYSTEM FOR THE MONITORING METHOD

The invention relates to a monitoring method for the operation of a number of one or more drive devices, in particular for the operation of an internal combustion engine, wherein a drive device comprises a control device and an operating parameter of the drive device is monitored on the basis of operating data for the operating parameter detected by means of the control device, having the steps: - monitoring the operating parameter of the drive device with a monitor algorithm for the operating data, in particular a monitor algorithm of an observer module of the control device, - applying a disturbance detection algorithm for the detected operating data of a disturbance detection for recognizing a disturbance concerning the operating parameter of the drive device, - sending a disturbance indication from the disturbance detection for the drive device based on a result of the disturbance detection algorithm; - receiving the disturbance indication and checking the result, in particular receiving and checking in a server device of a control authority, - activating a control feedback connection to the drive device with respect to the operating parameter and feeding back a monitoring value for the operating parameter to a feedback connection to the monitor algorithm. According to the invention, it is provided that the result after examination is qualified as false-positive (artificial) or true-positive (genuine), and - the disturbance detection comprises a discrimination unit which - sends the result qualified, in particular only the result qualified, as true-positive (genuine) to the control feedback connection to an actuator and - sends the result qualified, in particular only the result qualified, as false-positive (artificial) to the feedback connection to the observer module.
