COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER-READED MEMORY FOR MONITORING AND MAINTAINING THE OPERATING CONDITION OF AN ELECTROMECHANICAL COMPONENT

Claims

The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method, system, and computer readout memory for monitoring and controlling to maintain the operating condition of an electromechanical component, such as a solenoid valve, of a device, such as a fluid dosing device preferably applied for spraying agricultural inputs, wherein the method comprises monitoring an electrical parameter passing through the electromechanical component 4, while it is actuated according to a first control signal, measuring a measured time period t between the start of voltage application and a critical moment MC in a switching cycle of the operating state of the electromechanical component, comparing the measured time period t with a reference time period, and if the measured time period t differs from the reference time, either more or less, by at least a predetermined value,To determine that electromechanical component 4 is defective and to activate it to provide self-repair and / or self-cleaning, so as to maintain its operating condition.
