    摘要: The invention relates to a valve control means for electrical actuation of at least one valve drive (51a to 51h; 16), having a control circuit (28; 89; 109) which is configured to influence an electric energy flow between an electric source and the valve drive (51a to 51h; 116), and which comprises a bus interface (20) for communication with a superordinate control arrangement (2), and a sensor means (41, 42, 43, 44; 94; 111, 112) which is configured to determine a physical quantity of the energy flow which can be varied by electrical actuation of the valve drive (51a to 51h; 116), and is configured to provide the control circuit (28; 89; 109) with a sensor signal which is dependent on the determined physical quantity. It is provided according to the invention that the control circuit (28; 89; 109) is configured to determine a condition of the valve drive (51a to 51h; 116) using the sensor signal and at least one characteristic value of a physical variable from the group comprising energy flow duration, energy flow voltage, energy flow current, fluid pressure, and is configured to communicate the condition to the bus interface (20).

    摘要: A method and apparatus for monitoring a pneumatic system. A number of parameters are monitored using a monitoring device connected to the pneumatic system, an energy harvesting unit configured to generate electrical energy from a gas in the pneumatic system, and a controller. The monitoring device comprises a number of sensors configured to detect the number of parameters. The controller is in communication with the number of sensors and the energy harvesting unit and is configured to process measurements for the number of parameters detected by the number of sensors and control operation of the energy harvesting unit. The number of sensors and the controller are powered by the energy harvesting unit. The monitoring device is powered using the electrical energy generated by the energy harvesting unit.
