Abstract:
A diagnostic system and method to function-monitor an actuator to affect a process medium stream of a process engineering plant can include an optical microphone allocated to the actuator and a diagnostic electronics. The optical microphone can be configured to measure an acoustic, actuator-specific operating signal, as leakage sound and cavitation sound, based on electromagnetic radiation that is affected by the acoustic, actuator-specific operating signal, and generate an electrical measuring signal based on the measured acoustic, actuator-specific operating signal. The diagnostic electronics can be configured to receive and store, process, and/or transmit the electrical measuring signal.

Claim (Index 7):
The diagnostic system according to  claim 2 , wherein the optical microphone comprises a light source including a laser diode, and a measuring head coupled to the light source by an optical fiber cable in such a way that the light source and the measuring head can be moved relative to each other, the measuring head including at least one beam splitter configured to create a first light beam that is exposed to the sound waves of the acoustic operating signal, and a second light beam that at least partially follows a path that is protected against the sound waves.
