1. A test method for checking the function of a painting device, comprising:
- connecting a test apparatus to the painting device,detecting at least one process parameter associated with the painting device by the test apparatus,checking a functionality of the painting device by the test apparatus based on the at least one process parameter,carrying out control of the painting device using the test apparatus,detecting a change in the at least one process parameter following the control of the painting device, anddetermining whether the change in the at least one process parameter is indicative of expected operation of the painting device.

Abstract
The disclosure relates to a test method for functional testing of a painting device, comprising: connecting a test device to the painting device, capturing at least one process parameter of the painting device, and checking of a functionality of the painting device by the test device using the captured process variables of the painting device. The disclosure further relates to a corresponding test device for performing the method.

12. A test apparatus for carrying out a test method, comprising:
-
a connection configured to selectively connect the test apparatus to a painting device, a detection unit configured to detect at least one process parameter of the painting device via the connection, when the test apparatus is connected to the painting device, an evaluation unit that checks a functionality of the painting device based on the at least one process parameter of the painting device; and a control unit configured to control the painting device, wherein the evaluation unit is configured detect a change in the at least one process parameter following control of the painting device by the control unit, and to determine whether the change in the at least one process parameter is indicative of expected operation of the painting device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A test method for checking the function of a painting device, comprising:
-
connecting a test apparatus to the painting device, detecting at least one process parameter associated with the painting device by the test apparatus, and checking a functionality of the painting device by the test apparatus based on the at least one process parameter; wherein the detected process parameters of the painting device include one or more of (i) a flow rate of a dosing pump and a valve position of a main needle valve, (ii) a pulsed air flow of a pulsed air feeding line and a flushing agent flow of a flushing agent feeding line, and (iii) a flow of a stock paint in a multi-component paint and a flow of a further component in the multi-component paint, further wherein checking the functionality of the painting device by the test apparatus includes checking at least one temporal relationship; and further wherein the at least one temporal relationship exists between at least one of (i) the flow rate of the dosing pump and the valve position of the main needle valve, (ii) the pulsed air flow and the flushing agent flow, and (iii) the flow of the stock paint and the flow of the further component.
