– Temperature of the solenoid coil ≥ 100 °C 

(The error detection remains on until the temperature is < 80 °C.)

1. Rectify the cause of the error.
2. Acknowledge error (set DIn1 to 1).
 If the error cannot be acknowledged via DIn1, switch supply voltage off and back

on again.

The driver is switched back on via a rising edge at the digital input. The flow

control valve controls to the specified flow setpoint value again.

Depending on the deviation of the ambient temperature from the standard

value (20 °C), the actual flow of the valve differs from the measured or

specified flow (
