Claim 7:
8. A method for determining a position of a valve comprising:
changing a position of a valve using a driver having a mechanical connection to the valve;
detecting a magnitude of a current associated with the driver using a current sensor electrically connected to the driver;
detecting a state of the valve using a position switch associated with the valve;
generating a profile associated with the valve, wherein the profile includes at least a first data field associated with the magnitude of the current and a second data field associated with the state of the valve, and wherein using the profile to potentially alter a state of the driver; and performing at least one action with an analysis module that uses at least the magnitude of the current and the state of the valve.
