reword and (optionally) ignore

In this context, -technisch is a fashionable way to convert a noun (here Signal) into an adverb. The sentence can be understood to mean: 'for control purposes, the clutch actuator is connected to an electronic control device by means of (electrical) signals'. IMHO you could omit the detail of 'by means of electrical signals' in the translation, since the fact that the link is electrical and signals pass over the link is self-evident from the context, but if you wish you can spell it out (an alternative wording is '... linked via electrical signals to an electronic control device'). Of course, jcccantrell has a point that 'signaltechnisch' excludes operating power connections, but they are often not provided by a controller anyhow.

Incidentally, in conventional engineering German 'Steuerung' means 'open-loop control' and 'Regelung' means 'closed-loop control', and the purpose of a Steuereinrichtung is naturally to control something, so the author is probably guilty of shameless (or ignorant) redundancy.

Aah yes - you should have mentioned that this is a patent: nothing is too baroque in patent language.
Note from asker:
being a patent, I think redundancy is both intentional and shameless in this case...
Peer comment(s):

neutral Johannes Gleim : Steuerung (open loop) und Regelung (closed loop) are both intended in the context and controlled by a control device.

1. Method for protecting data processing systems which are relevant to safety against unintentional and unacceptable influence from other data networks to which the data processing system is connected via communications services, by applying a filter function according to which all telegrams which are not definitely detected as being satisfactory in terms of signalling equipment are deleted
Das erfindungsgem„e Verfahren ist durch die im Oberbegriff und im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruches 1 aufgefhrten Merkmale gekennzeichnet. Es basiert auf der šberlegung, durch einen Filtervorgang alle Telegramme herauszufiltern und unwirksam zu machen, die nicht zuverl„ssig als signaltechnisch unbedenklich eingestuft werden k”nnen.

Thank you! I was wondering, whether signalling-related or by terms of signalling would be better.

I do not think this has to do with fail-safe. Merely that the signals (as opposed to power, ground, etc.) are connected from the electronic controller to the ...{whatever you are calling Kopplung...}
