Overflow of a malfunction list
Each malfunction list has up to 40 entries. If there are more entries, there is a differentiation between
the type of entry.
If the oldest entry is a warning, this entry is removed from the list.
However, if the oldest entry is an error, the list is frozen. If several errors or subsequent error occur one
after another, this ensures that the first (and possibly the causal) error cannot be removed from the
list.

What happens when an error occurs
When an error occurs, the valve is brought to a stop (status of the valve (valve state) = 3 (failure)).
If the cause of the error is no longer present, the valve status changes to "not ready" (valve state = 0
(not ready)).
