Abstract: A method of adjusting stroke end positions of a process control valve is provided. A valve control mechanism is set up to continuously determine an actual position value from a travel-measurement system value acquired by a travel-measurement system, taking a first travel-measurement system final value and a second travel-measurement system final value into account. The method comprises the recognition of a first stroke end position when the process control valve is fully closed, and the recognition of a second stroke end position when the process control valve is fully open. The method further comprises the storage of the travel-measurement system value corresponding to the first stroke end position as the first travel-measurement system final value, and the storage of the travel-measurement system value corresponding to the second stroke end position as the second travel-measurement system final value.
