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 7):
The method of  claim 6 , wherein the evaluation section is located within the current increase phase; wherein the current value at the end of the section is smaller than the maximum current value and is temporally situated prior to the end of the current increase phase; and wherein the current value at the beginning of the section is provided at a deviation point, which is determined by the following partial steps:\n creating a logarithmic function of the current that was measured in the current increase phase; approximating of the logarithmic function, which represents an early temporal partial section of the idle mode, by a linear function; a constant determining of a difference between the logarithmic function and the linear function beyond the early temporal partial section of the idle mode; and determining the deviation point based on the point, in which the difference reaches a pre-defined difference value.
