Determination of switching times of an electromagnetic actuator

The invention relates to a control device and a method for determining switching times of an electromagnetic actuator, a device for carrying out the method, and a computer program. To determine a switching time, an actual characteristic curve with a course of a chained electromagnetic flux over the current strength for controlling the actuator is determined. This actual characteristic curve is compared with a reference characteristic curve in order to derive a switching time. By determining switching times in this way, switching times for very short switching durations can also be determined, during which the actuator is switched off before the actuator is fully deflected. The determined switching times can be used, for example, to detect and compensate for fluctuations in the switching behavior of the actuator due to external influences.
