A method for controlling and/or monitoring a compressor system is provided. The compressor system includes one or more compressors and one or more peripheral devices. The compressors and peripheral devices are arranged or connected in a predetermined configuration. The compressor system is controlled and/or monitored by a control/monitoring unit. The method involves creating one or more derived models on the basis of one or more initial models of the compressor system that are based on a P&I diagram. The derived models take into account the operative interrelationships among the individual compressors and peripheral devices, and optionally also dynamic processes. The one or more derived models form the basis for subsequent control, monitoring, diagnosis or evaluation routines.
