Abstract: A printing machine comprises a charging device (10)
that forms a variable operating voltage. A charging
device pre-fault status condition is determined by
sampling (11) the charging device (10) operating voltage,
forming a slope value based on a charging device
operating voltage rate of change per unit time, and
determining when the slope value falls in a charging
device pre-fault status range of values (200). When the
pre-fault status determination is made, a message (110,
120, 130) is formed based on a current print count value
(21). This message is then sent to a user or operator
(1). When the print count value falls in a charging
device replacement range of values, a replacement message
is sent to inform that the charging device (10) needs to
be replaced. Otherwise, when the print count value (21)
does not fall in this range of values, a cleaning message
is sent to inform that the charging device (10) needs to
be cleaned.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring the exhaust gas recirculation (AGR) of a combustion engine by detecting pressure, during which exhaust gas is supplied from an outlet side of a combustion chamber arrangement via an exhaust gas recirculation channel (ARK) to an inlet side of the combustion chamber arrangement. The aim of the invention is to achieve a reliable monitoring of exhaust gas recirculation that involves a relatively low level of complexity. To this end: a pressure course is detected in at least one combustion chamber (ZYL1 ... ZYLn), and from this, a thermodynamic characteristic quantity serving as an actual value is determined; a set value of the characteristic quantity is prepared that takes the actual operating point of the combustion engine into account, and a difference between the set value and actual value is determined, and; on the basis of this difference, an item of information is obtained that concerns the actual state of the exhaust gas recirculation compared to the normal state thereof.
