Abstract
A method is for the continuous control of a position of a control valve. A control deviation from a position of the control valve, is determined as a controlled variable, in relation to a reference variable being determined. A manipulated variable is determined from the control deviation, by which manipulated variable the control valve is positioned and/or maintained in the position predefined by the reference variable. The improved method for the control of the position of a control valve, has the effect that failure of a valve position transmitter does not result in failure of the position control loop.
