Method and arrangement for controlling the drive unit of a vehicle

Apparatus for controlling a power control element of a drive unit of a

The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling the drive unit of a motor vehicle. The maximum permissible torque or the maximum permissible power is determined and fault reactions are initiated when the limit value is exceeded by a computed actual torque value or an actual power value.

Method and arrangement for controlling the drive unit of a motor vehicle

A control arrangement for vehicles is suggested which includes at least two computer elements for carrying out at least the same control function. Measures for checking the operability of the control arrangement are provided. The execution of these measures is allocated to the at least two computer elements in such a manner that each computer element carries out at least one of the monitoring measures. This monitoring measure is not carried out by the other computing element.

Control arrangement for vehicles

The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling an internal combustion engine wherein the air flow to the engine is influenced at least in component ranges and in a selectable time reference to operations in the engine.

Method and arrangement for controlling an internal combustion engine

The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling an internal combustion engine wherein a signal representing engine load is compared to a maximum value pregiven for at least one driver command range. Fault and emergency reactions are initiated when the measured signal value reaches or exceeds the maximum value.

An arrangement for detecting a changing variable in a motor vehicle includes at least one transducer having terminals with at least one terminal being connected to a pole of a supply voltage. In addition, an actuable switch element is provided which interrupts at least one connecting line connected to a terminal. The potential of this terminal is detected relative to a reference potential when the switch element is open and a fault state of the transducer is assumed when there is an impermissible fluctuation of the potential value during at least two detecting operations.
