Abstract

A method for the supply of compressed air of a compressed-air consumer having two fluidically separate, kinematically coupled working areas, wherein each of the working areas is assigned to a valve arrangement which can be independently controlled and can be configured between a blocking position, a first functional position for a fluidically communicating connection to a fluid course and a second functional position for a fluidically communicating connection to a fluid sink and wherein each of the two valve arrangements is configured individually depending on a predefinable movement task for the compressed-air consumer and depending, on at least two pressure values from the following group: supply pressure, first working area pressure, second working area pressure, discharge pressure, for a provision of a predefinable developing for a fluid mass flow or for a provision of a predefinable developing for a fluid pressure in the respective working area or for a provision of a predefinable developing of a valve cross-section.
