Method and system for diagnosing messages generated during operation of a technical plant, wherein data sets and a predetermined self-organizing map are used to determine diagnostic statements on the operation of the plant, n-tuples corresponding to the data sets and containing predetermined values for process variables for error-free operation of the plant are stored at nodes of the self-organizing map, after a message has occurred minimum distances between data sets of the current time interval and data sets of the nodes of the self-organizing map are determined, and the corresponding node(s) is/are selected, symptoms are then determined by calculating differences between the data sets of the time intervals and the previously determined node(s), only differences of process variables exceeding a predefined threshold value being taken into account, and where process variables involved in previously determined symptoms are output such that a plant operator is supported in diagnosing a process message.
