1. A method for operating a fluid valve for regulating a fluid, comprising:
- providing at least one movable valve component;
actuating the at least one movable valve component with the aid of at least one electrical actuating signal, wherein the actuating signal contains at least one first actuating signal portion and at least one second actuating signal portion, wherein the first actuating signal portion causes an oscillating valve motion of the valve component and the at least one second actuating signal portion causes a displacing basic motion of the valve component;
detecting pressure oscillations generated in the fluid due to the oscillating valve motion, wherein at least one of volumetric flow and a pressure of the fluid is regulated,wherein for regulating the fluid via the at least one second actuating signal portion, the displacing basic motion of the valve component results in pressure changes in the fluid; and
using the detected pressure oscillations for a regulation of the oscillating valve motion caused by the first actuating signal portion,wherein a sum of the pressure changes from the displacing basic motion of the valve component and the pressure oscillations represents overall pressure changes in the fluid, andwherein the pressure oscillations are ascertained from the overall pressure changes by filtering.

Abstract
In a method for operating a fluid valve for controlling or regulating a fluid, having at least one movable valve component is displaceable with the aid of at least one electrical actuating signal which contains at least one first actuating signal portion which causes an oscillating valve motion of the valve component. Pressure oscillations generated in the fluid due to the oscillating valve motion are detected, and are used for regulation of the oscillating valve motion caused by the first actuating signal portion.

16. A control system for operating a fluid valve for regulating a fluid, the fluid valve having at least one movable valve component, comprising:
-
a control unit configured to control actuating the at least one movable valve component with the aid of at least one electrical actuating signal, wherein the actuating signal contains at least one first actuating signal portion and at least one second actuating signal portion, wherein the first actuating signal portion causes an oscillating valve motion of the valve component and the at least one second actuating signal portion causes a displacing basic motion of the valve component; and a pressure sensor configured to detect pressure oscillations generated in the fluid due to the oscillating valve motion, wherein at least one of volumetric flow and a pressure of the fluid is regulated, wherein for regulating the fluid via the at least one second actuating signal portion, the displacing basic motion of the valve component results in pressure changes in the fluid; wherein the detected pressure oscillations are used for a regulation of the oscillating valve motion caused by the first actuating signal portion, wherein a sum of the pressure changes from the displacing basic motion of the valve component and the pressure oscillations represents overall pressure changes in the fluid, and wherein the pressure oscillations are ascertained from the overall pressure changes by filtering.
