1. A method for condition monitoring of an industrial plant having a plurality of assets using an industrial automation system, the method performed by the industrial automation system, the method comprising:
receiving operational data of the industrial plant, wherein the operational data comprises data corresponding to the plurality of assets,
obtaining an information model corresponding to at least one asset from the plurality of assets of the industrial plant from a cloud infrastructure accessible by the industrial automation system, wherein the information model is representative of a dynamically updated scheme for condition monitoring of the at least one asset and comprises condition monitoring logic for evaluating states and condition of the at least one asset using one or more operational parameters associated with the received operational data;
processing the operational data using the information model to generate a recommendation for a control action, wherein the control action comprises at least one of: storing of the recommended action on the cloud infrastructure, modifying at least one parameter of the operational data, or presenting the recommended control action on a human-machine interface; and wherein the industrial automation system is configured to update the information model by:
dynamically receiving a new scheme for condition monitoring from a user formulated using a plurality of graphical blocks in a user interface, wherein the plurality of graphical blocks includes graphical representations of one or more input parameters, one or more function models, and one or more device type models, wherein the plurality of graphical blocks are interconnected by a plurality of interconnections provided by the user;
generating an updated information model based on the received new scheme for condition monitoring using an engineering tool in the cloud infrastructure; and
storing the updated information model in a machine readable file format on the cloud infrastructure.
