Abstract
A method for the detection of diagnosis of a blockage of an impulse line in a pressure measurement transducer and a corresponding pressure measurement transducer are disclosed, in which at least one characteristic value is compared with at least one reference value for the analysis of at least one measurement signal and, depending on the result of the comparison, an action is triggered, wherein the, or every, characteristic value is produced, with the aid of at least single parameters of a model describing the transmission behavior of impulse lines with which the pressure measurement transducer is coupled to a line traversed by a fluid.

10. A method for operating a pressure transducer which is connected to a pipe at least by a high-pressure and a low-pressure impulse line, comprising:
-
supplying a first measurement signal and a second measurement signal by a pressure sensor incorporated by the pressure transducer; determining a characteristic value in relation to the first and second measurement signal by an analysis device, wherein parameters of a model describing a response of the high-pressure and the low-pressure impulse lines are determined based upon the first and second measurement signal and the characteristic value is produced based upon individual parameters; comparing the characteristic value with a predefined reference value by the analysis device; and initiating a predefined action depending on the result of the comparison by the analysis device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
