Abstract:
A magnetic core and an electric coil, wherein the magnetic core is configured to move by supplying current to the electric coil to allow electrical energy to be transformed into mechanical energy and an electromagnetic actuator operates a valve body to move, and a controller configured to measure a current flowing through the electric coil, select a temporal evaluation section of a course of the current, wherein the current changes from a current value at a beginning of the temporal section to a current value at an end of the section, wherein the evaluation section lasts for a duration period, form an evaluation product from at least the current value at the beginning of the section, the current value at the end of the section, and the duration period of the section, and detect an error function of the actuator by comparing the evaluation product with an evaluation product limit.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 5 , wherein the current that is flowing through the electric coil rises during a current increase phase, while along its course, the magnetic core is initially in an idle mode; wherein the current increase phase is followed by a current peak phase, in which the current decreases from a current peak phase start value to a current peak phase intermediate value and then rises from a current peak phase intermediate value to a current peak phase end value; wherein the current peak phase is followed by a holding current phase, in which the current decreases until it reaches a range of a holding current value and remains there; and wherein the holding current phase is followed by a phase-out period, in which the current rises from a phase-out period beginning current value to a phase-out period intermediate current value and then sinks from the phase-out period intermediate current value to a phase-out period end current value.
