MUMBAI, India, Nov. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647126464 A) filed by Festo Se & Co. Kg on October 23, 2026, for Method For Operating A Pneumatic System And Pneumatic System For Industrial Automation.
Inventors include Rager, David; and Klassen, Daniel.
The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a pneumatic system, which has at least one pneumatic actuator (3) and a control device (2) for controlling a movement of an actuator element (15) of the at least one pneumatic actuator (3) from a first position into a second position and/or from the second position into the first position, comprising the following steps: measuring an actual mass flow of pressurized fluid supplied to and/or discharged from the pneumatic actuator (3), providing a mass flow signal to the control device (2), measuring an actual pressure in a pressure chamber (20, 21, 34, 35) of the pneumatic actuator (3), providing the actual pressure as an actual pressure signal to the control device (2), determining an estimated pressure value in a pressure chamber (20, 21, 34, 35) of the pneumatic actuator (3), comparing the actual pressure signal with the estimated pressure value, providing a deviation characteristic value on the basis of the comparison between the actual pressure signal and the estimated pressure value, determining position information of an actuator element (15) of the pneumatic actuator (3) on the basis of the mass flow signal and the actual pressure signal and/or the estimated pressure value as well as a pneumatic system (1) for industrial automation.
