Abstract

The invention relates to a method for diagnosing a diaphragm valve having the following steps: a) providing at least one first quantity that characterizes a valve diaphragm, at least one second quantity that characterizes the diaphragm valve, and at least one third quantity that characterizes operation of the diaphragm valve to a determination device; determining a quantity that characterizes a current state of the valve diaphragm, in particular a current wear, from the first, second, and third quantities by means of the determination device by using at least one algorithm.
