| contents | The advancing industrial digitalization enables evolved process control schemes that rely on accurate models learned through data-driven approaches. While they provide high control performance and are robust to smaller deviations, a larger change in process behavior can pose significant challenges, in the worst case even leading to a damaged process plant. Hence, it is important to frequently assess the fit between the model and the actual process behavior. As the number of controlled processes and associated data volumes increase, the need for lightweight and fast reacting assessment solutions also increases. In this paper, we propose CIVIC, an in-network computing-based solution for Continuous In-situ Validation of Industrial Control models. In short, CIVIC monitors relevant process variables and detects different process states through comparison with a priori knowledge about the desired process behavior. This detection can then be leveraged to, e.g., shut down the process or trigger a reconfiguration. We prototype CIVIC on an Intel Tofino-based switch and apply it to a lab-scale water treatment plant. Our results show that we can achieve a high detection accuracy, proving that such monitoring systems are feasible and sensible. |
