Abstract
A lubrication system includes a progressive distributor that is configured to dispense lubricant to a consumer. The lubrication system also includes a control device and at least one sensor that is configured to determine at least one lubricant pressure inside the lubrication system. The control device is configured to receive measured values from the at least one sensor and to recognize a lubrication cycle based on the measured values and also to determine an average pressure of the lubrication cycle, to perform a comparison of the average pressure and at least one normal pressure of the lubrication system, and to determine a state of the lubrication system based on a result of the comparison.
