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 4):
The diagnostic system according to  claim 1 , wherein the optical microphone is formed by an arrangement of at least two optical sub-microphones configured to generate respective measuring signals to conduct a three-dimensional resolution of a sound field of the acoustic, actuator-specific operating signal, the arrangement of at least two sub-microphones being coupled with the diagnostic electronics in a signal transmission manner, wherein said arrangement performs the three dimensional resolution of the sound field in such a way that the arrangement localizes a sound source, in particular of the leakage or the cavitation, and/or determines the sound velocity.
