A method for operating an electrical network, in particular of a hybrid motor vehicle, the network having at least one electrical accumulator, in particular a high-voltage accumulator, at least one electric machine, and at least one inverter controlling the electric machine, the electrical accumulator being electrically disconnected from the network when a malfunction is detected and the inverter being switched to a short-circuit operating mode when a specifiable voltage limit of a network voltage of the network is subsequently exceeded. There is a provision for switching power semiconductors of the inverter in such a way that the driven electric machine induces a voltage and provides it via free-wheeling diodes on the electrical network and the induced voltage is used for operating the electric machine as a generator such that a specifiable network voltage is set by the electric machine.

A method for shutting down an electric machine having a pulse-controlled inverter in the event of a malfunction. Undesirable side effects during shut-down of the electric machine may be minimized and the regular machine operation may be maximized when the electric machine is first switched to a disconnect mode in which all switches of the pulse-controlled inverter are open and subsequently is switched to a short-circuit mode in which the switches connected to the high potential are open and the switches connected to the low potential are closed.

Method for shutting down an electric machine in the event of a malfunction

A method for operating a motor vehicle having a hybrid drive, including a combustion engine having an engine management and at least one electro machine having a control unit, which is at least intermittently operated in an rpm-regulated manner and which is able to be in operative connection with a drive shaft of the combustion engine. For the closed-loop speed control of the electro machine, its torque is influenced by its rotational speed or a signal derived therefrom.

Process and device for dealing with errors in electronic control devices

A brake control system has a controller (52, 53, 54) including hysteresis. To prevent over-shoot of control operation if a comparison between actual braking pressure (P.sub.act) and commanded pressure (P.sub.com) is applied to control valves which, for example, operate pneumatically, so that the brakes will not instantaneously respond, a difference pressure threshold (.DELTA.P.sub.G) is determined and, when the difference pressure level is passed by the difference pressure signal, the valves are controlled to operate in pulse operation, in which each pressure pulse (T.sub.E) is followed by a quieting or pressure-OFF time (T.sub.BER). The pulse sequence and the timing of pulses and pulse gaps is controllable in accordance with pressure levels, operating parameters, pressure difference levels and the like.
