Abstract
A diagnosis method for continuous function monitoring of a process valve during normal operation. The diagnosis method includes the steps of determining process set data (S) with discrete-time process set values from an input signal supplied to the process valve, b) determining process actual data (s) with discrete-time process actual values using a displacement-measurement system assigned to the process valve, and c) analyzing the process actual data (s) dependent on the process set data (S) by comparing the process set data (S) and the process actual data (s) with each other to detect defined error states.
