The present disclosure relates to an actuator system, having an actuator that includes a conversion unit for converting electrical and/or hydraulic power into mechanical power, and a control unit for supplying the conversion unit with electrical power and/or for controlling the conversion unit. The actuator system comprises an electronics unit arranged separately from the power unit configured to detect one or more states of the actuator and/or the conversion unit, convert the detected state or states into data, and transmit the data digitally to the control unit. The electronics unit comprises a memory in which one or more properties of the actuator and/or the conversion unit are stored as data, and the electronics unit is configured to transmit one, multiple or all of the stored data to the control unit. The control unit is configured to regulate and/or control the actuator and/or the conversion unit.
