Abstract
A method for actuating at least one solenoid valve includes detecting a valve actuation signal, energizing the at least one solenoid valve with a specific constant control current for a specific actuation time which follows the detection of the valve actuation signal, and increasing the control current to a full actuation current for a full actuation time which follows the actuation time. The specific constant control current and the actuation time are dimensioned in such a way that at least two different types of solenoid valves can be at least partially opened by the control current during the actuation time.

A method for actuating at least one solenoid valve, comprising:
- detecting a valve actuation signal;
- energizing the at least one solenoid valve with a specific constant control current for a specific actuation time which follows the detection of the valve actuation signal;
- increasing the control current to a full actuation current for a full actuation time which follows the actuation time;
- and
- dimensioning the specific constant control current and the actuation time in such a way that at least two different types of solenoid valves can be at least partially opened by the control current during the actuation time.
