Hydraulic system, method, and arithmetic unit for parameterizing control electronics of a hydraulic component

A method for parameterizing control electronics of a hydraulic device of a hydraulic system that also includes an external database, wherein the hydraulic device further includes a hydraulic component and an identification element assigned to the hydraulic component, and wherein the control electronics are configured to control the hydraulic component, the method comprising:

• individually identifying the hydraulic component by a configuration means via the identification element;
• accessing the external database by the configuration means;
• retrieving specific parameters for the identified hydraulic component from the external database, the specific parameters including a functional parameter specifically associated with the identified hydraulic component;
• transferring the retrieved specific parameters for the identified hydraulic component to a memory of the control electronics;
• and
• compiling a program code for the hydraulic device using an arithmetic unit, wherein the arithmetic unit is configured to integrate at least one of the specific parameters into the program code, and wherein the compiling is performed so that the program code includes user generated control logic that determines at least one control operation of the hydraulic device.
