Abstract: A system for the control and/or fault diagnosis of an electric drive system, where the drive system may be integrated into the system via a data connection, and may have a user interface for entering a command by a user. The system may be designed to compare a user-entered command with predefined commands and to select a command matching the command entered from the predefined commands. According to an embodiment of the system described herein, in the case of lack of agreement of the command entered by the user with a predefined command, the system may perform an interpretation of the entered command using methods of artificial intelligence in order to assign it to a predefined command.
