Abstract
Valve electronics include a control unit with a diagnostic module. The diagnostic module has a sensing device configured to sense at least one actuation parameter. The diagnostic module also has a diagnosis-forming device that forms a diagnostic parameter from the sensed actuation parameter such that the diagnostic parameter corresponds to a measure for the intensity of use of the valve over a preceding time period.
