Abstract
Operating method for a valve system, computer program product, controller, valve actuator, valve system and simulation program product, where a valve is moveable between first and second end positions, the valve system is initially made available in an active operating state, the first end position of the valve is approached by actuating the valve actuator and the first end position is detected as a first absolute position of an actuating shaft and, alternatively or additionally, the second end position of the valve is approached by actuating the valve actuator and the second end position is detected as a second absolute position of the actuating shaft, a design of the valve is identified via the first and/or second absolute position of the actuating shaft by an algorithm, and the identified design of the valve is transmitted by the valve actuating apparatus to a controller and/or is parameterized via the identified design.
