A continuously variable valve duration (CVVD) system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to output a command for adjusting an actuator and a controller configured to determine a operation range of a control shaft of the actuator and adjust the control shaft in the determined operation range based on the command of the ECU. The controller positions the control shaft at a predetermined target phase and determines a control state of each target phase based on a target phase value transmitted from the actuator when the control shaft is positioned at the target phase.

Continuously variable valve duration system and operating method thereof

A control system of a continuously variable valve duration (CVVD) is provided. A system for controlling a CVVD by adjusting an actuator for controlling the CVVD includes an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to output a command for adjusting the actuator based on a vehicle state and a cam position sensor is configured to measure a cam revolutions per minute (RPM). A controller is configured to calculate a crank RPM from the cam RPM when a failure occurs during communication with the ECU. A target phase angle is extracted based on the calculated crank RPM, and an electric current is output that corresponds to the extracted target phase angle to the actuator.

System for controlling continuously variable valve duration and operating method thereof

A system for controlling a CVVD by adjusting an actuator for controlling the CVVD is provided. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to output a command phase angle and a selection signal for controlling the actuator based on a vehicle state and a mode of operation, and an actuator controller configured to operate based on the command phase angle and the selection signal and output an electric current to adjust the actuator. The actuator controller is configured to output an electric current corresponding to the command phase angle originating from the ECU or adjust the command phase angle and then output an electric current corresponding to the corrected command phase angle based on a type of selection signal.

A continuously variable valve timing (CVVT) control device is provided. The CVVT control device includes an engine controlling unit (ECU) configured to output an actual phase angle and a target phase angle of an intake valve or an exhaust valve. The CVVT control device further includes an intellectual motor controller configured to receive the actual phase angle and the target phase angle from the ECU through digital communication in a vehicle. A driving current is generated for adjusting an output torque of a motor based on a phase deviation between the received actual phase angle and target phase angle.
