1. A method for operating an electronic control system having:
- a controller, an actuator and at least one sensora sensor board for reading data which is detected by the sensor, the sensor board has a memory for storing actuator-specific data andan interface between the sensor board and the controller for transmitting the data which is stored in the sensor board to the controller, wherein said method comprising comprises;
starting the controller;
transmitting the actuator-specific data which is stored in the sensor board to the controller;
comparing the actuator-specific data which is transmitted from the sensor board with actuator-specific data which is stored in the controller;
switching the controller to a normal operating mode when the actuator-specific data which is transmitted from the sensor board corresponds to the actuator-specific data which is stored in the controller;
starting a training process when the actuator-specific data which is transmitted from the sensor board does not correspond to the actuator-specific data which is stored in the controller, said training method comprising the following sub-steps;
storing the actuator-specific data which is transmitted from the sensor board in the controller;
configuring the controller in accordance with the actuator-specific data which is transmitted from the sensor board; and
switching to the normal operating mode of the controller.
