Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a control device for controlling a load, wherein the control device comprises the following elements: a first current control valve between a first port of the load and a first potential of an operating voltage; a second current control valve between a second port of the load and a second potential of the operating voltage; a processor configured to actuate the second current control valve when the first current control valve is closed, in order to control a current through the load; and a sampling device for determining an input voltage through the first current control valve, wherein the processor is configured to determine the presence of a short circuit between the first port and the first potential if the input voltage does not increase when the first current control valve is opened gradually.

Claim (Index 7):
A method for controlling a load that has two ports, wherein the first port is connected to a first potential of an operating voltage through a first current control valve, and the second port is connected to a second potential of the operating voltage through a second current control valve, wherein the process comprises:\n gradually opening the first current control valve when the second current control valve is actuated; and determining the presence of a short circuit between the first port and the first potential if an input voltage through the first current control valve does not increase.
