Method for control of a proportional magnet comprising a magnet core, a magnet
armature, a magnet coil for operating a control element in a shift valve or a proportional
pressure-control valve, particularly a pressure-control valve for clutch operation
in an automatic motor vehicle transmission, and comprising an electronic control
device, whereby the magnet core may be moved back and forth between a control region
and a hold region with a magnetic hold position of the magnet armature and a defined
transition from the control region to the hold position may be executed and whereby
mechanisms are provided for recognition of the movements of the magnet armature.
