  • Patent number: 12001227
    Abstract: A valve system having a valve with a moveable armature and a pneumatic actuation apparatus, a controller, a computer program product for simulating operating behavior of the valve system and an operating method for the valve system, wherein the valve is provided in an active operating state and a valve position to be approached is specified, a target differential pressure corresponding to the valve position to be approached that is to be set in the pneumatic actuation apparatus is determined, a differential pressure in the pneumatic actuation apparatus is changed and the differential pressure present is detected, and the differential pressure present is stabilized if a deviation between the differential pressure present and the target differential pressure falls below a settable threshold value in terms of amount.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11480201
    Abstract: An electropneumatic control system for a pneumatic drive and electropneumatic position controller for the system, wherein a volume flow booster having a bypass valve is downstream of the position controller to increase the air capacity, where the pneumatic drive is run in a new operating mode multiple times at maximum air capacity in a first direction to support an operator in adjusting the bypass valve, and where upon exceeding a specified position, the air capacity is set to zero, an overshoot value of the pneumatic drive is determined and output for the operator on a display such that by varying adjustment of the bypass valve, the operator can find and set an adjustment of the valve having low overshoot such that with an adjustment found in such a manner, the transition behavior of the control system can be significantly improved without additional effort.
