Method and device for controlling an actuator element

The invention relates to an electronic circuit arrangement for triggering excitation windings of electromagnetic components, provided with supplementary circuit elements, in particular free-running circuit elements, preferably solenoid valves (MV.sub.1 to MV.sub.n), whereby in order to provide a flexible open-loop control, the components are each connected in series to a controllable contact element (3). To reduce the degree of complexity of the circuit, the manufacturing price and the space requirement, it is proposed that the connecting terminals (1, 4) of this series connection lead directly, and the connections (2) between the components (MV.sub.1 to MV.sub.n) and the contact elements (3) lead via diodes (D.sub.1 to D.sub.n), respectively, to a collecting point (A, B, C), to which collecting points (A, B, C) is linked one and the same supplementary circuit-element configuration (T.sub.F,C.sub.L,10,11) shared by all components. Accordingly, the component parts of the supplementary circuit elements are subject to multiple use; they are available to all of the electromagnetic components.

Electronic circuit arrangement for triggering solenoid valves

Circuit arrangement for cyclic supply

A method and apparatus for controlling the flow of fuel for a gasoline or diesel gasoline engine controls a solenoid valve for actuating the fuel pump. A pump piston is driven by the camshaft and, in turn, pressurizes the fuel for delivery to the individual cylinders. Based on the operation of the solenoid valve, the beginning of the injection of fuel and the end of the injection of fuel are established Based upon spaced angular markings on the camshaft, a control unit determines the trigger signals for actuating the solenoid valve. To calculate the trigger signals, the markings on the camshaft are counted and interpolated therebetween over time. The interpolation is based on the instantaneous rotational speed N of the camshaft, which is sensed immediately before performing the interpolation.

Method and apparatus for controlling a fuel pump

A method and apparatus for controlling a solenoid-valve-controlled fuel-metering system, especially for a diesel internal combustion engine, provide an electronic control device, which calculates a starting time and/or a stopping time for a solenoid valve based upon at least one of an injection start variable and a feed duration variable. An angle variable is calculated based upon a time variable, taking into consideration at least one of an instantaneous rotational speed and a correction angle.

The invention relates to a method and arrangement for preparing a fuel-metering signal M for a diesel engine starting with measured variables such as accelerator pedal position, rotational speed, lambda, exhaust gas temperature or torque. A fuel quantity request MW is pregiven in dependence upon the position of the accelerator pedal. This quantity request MW is supplied to a minimum selector together with a second signal. The output signal M of the minimum selector, in turn, determines the metered fuel. The second signal derives from a precontrol characteristic field 50 in dependence upon the speed. The output signal of the precontrol characteristic field MV is influenced by the controller output signal MR in specific operating conditions.

A method and device for controlling a solenoid-valve-regulated fuel-metering system. Given the desired angular position of a fuel pump camshaft at the beginning of fuel delivery and the desired angular duration of fuel delivery, the method and device of the present invention, while accounting for the switching time of the solenoid valve, determines the trigger instant and shut-off instant for at least one solenoid valve. The present invention achieves more accurate and stable fuel-metering by treating the switching time of the solenoid valve as an angular quantity.

Method and device for open-loop control of a solenoid-valve regulated

A method and device for the control of a solenoid-valve-controlled fuel-metering system for a diesel gasoline engine provide that the beginning and/or the end of the fuel metering are able to be controlled by trigger instants for the solenoid valve. An angular size is converted into a time quantity by applying at least one rotational-speed value. At least one first time quantity is calculated based upon a first rotational-speed value, and a second time quantity is calculated based upon a second rotational-speed value. A weighted time quantity is determined by generating a mean value from at least the first and second time quantities.

The invention is directed to a method and arrangement for controlling a self-igniting internal combustion engine. The arrangement includes at least one measured-value sensor, electronic control unit for forming a quantity signal for metering fuel, and a control unit for driving individual actuators for each cylinder. The actuators determine the quantity of fuel injected by the pump elements into the cylinders. Under specific conditions, a corrective unit is activated which determines corrective values specific to the cylinders for making the cylinders equal. The open-loop control unit applies the metering signal to the actuators in dependence upon the quantity signal and the corrective values.

Solenoid valve, in particular for fuel-injection pumps

Control system for a diesel internal combustion engine

The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling the fuel injection in a high-pressure fuel pump. Magnetic valves determine the fuel quantity to be injected into the engine. The magnetic valve is controlled during the pumping phase of the pumping element in such a manner that first a preinjection and then a main injection is carried out. In specific operating conditions, the control apparatus determines the duration of the drive pulses for the magnetic valve at which a preinjection just takes place. With the duration of the drive pulses as a basis, the control apparatus forms compensating signals for the drive pulses which effect preinjection and stores the same.

The engine includes a fuel pump drive by a shaft for which injection start and injection end is fixed by a corresponding control of the electromagnetically actuated valve. The drive pulses for pump-delivery start and pump-delivery end are generated in dependence upon the analog signal of an angle sensor.
