Abstract:
To provide a control system for an internal combustion engine, which is capable of attaining both the securing of excellent drivability and the reduction of impact occurring when a movable part abuts against a restriction part at the same time. The control system 1 includes a variable valve lift mechanism 50 that changes a valve lift Liftin, and includes a restriction part 67a for having a movable part 65 abut thereagainst for restricting the valve lift Liftin such that it does not exceed a predetermined limit lift Liftin_L, and a variable intake air amount mechanism 11 that changes the intake air amount. The control system calculates a control input ULiftin for control of the variable valve lift mechanism 50, with a predetermined control algorithm including a disturbance suppression parameter POLE_lf (step 54), such that the valve lift Liftin follows up the target valve lift Liftin_cmd. When a determination that the movable part 65 has abutted against the restriction part 67a is made, the control system sets the disturbance suppression parameter POLE_lf such that the degree of suppression of the disturbance thereby becomes smaller than before the determination (step 73).
Abstract:
A transmission control system is capable of promptly compensating for a disturbance attributable to a mechanical interference that takes place in a selecting operation so as to quickly complete the selecting operation. An adaptation disturbance observer provided in a selection controller calculates a disturbance component term in a model equation of a selecting mechanism for each control cycle of the selection controller. An equivalent control input calculator of a sliding mode controller uses the disturbance component term calculated by the adaptation disturbance observer to calculate an equivalent control input. An adder adds a reaching law input calculated by a reaching law input calculator and the equivalent control input to calculate a control value of a voltage to be applied to a selection motor of the selecting mechanism.
Abstract:
A plant control includes determining a control input into the plant to cause a control output of the plant to converge to a desired value. A value of at least one parameter for adjusting a speed of change of the control output relative to change of the desired value is determined in accordance with a plant condition. The control input is determined based on the parameter having the value thus determined. The parameter includes a first parameter for changing a speed of change of the control input relative to change of the desired value. The parameter can also include a second parameter for changing the relative speed via a corrected desired value that is determined by correcting the desired value. The second parameter can further include a gradient parameter and a gradually-approaching characteristic parameter.

An actuator control apparatus is provided, capable of causing a state value which changes according to the action of an actuator to match a prescribed target value. A synchronizing mechanism is modeled as the collision of an inertial system object and an elastic system object, and taking as a state amount the deviation between the actual position (Psc) of a coupling sleeve and the target position (Psc_cmd), a computation coefficient (VPOLE) of a switching function used in sliding mode control which takes the state amount as a variable is, in a first process until the coupling sleeve makes contact with a synchronizer ring, set according to the actual position (Psc) of the coupling sleeve, and in a process until the coupling sleeve engages a synchronized gear, is set such that the pressing force of the coupling sleeve matches a target pressing force.
Abstract:
There is provided a control method for sufficiently compensating the non-linear characteristic for a plant having a strong non-linear characteristic and satisfying the follow-up and stability for a plant having a large control amount fluctuation. There is provided a plant control device using modulation algorithm. The control device includes: means for calculating a temporary control input for controlling the plant output to a target value; means for dividing the temporary control input into a plurality of components; means for modulating at least one of the components; and means for adding the modulated component to another component so as to generate a control input. Thus, it is possible to minimize the input fluctuation caused by modulation while maintaining the compensation ability of the non-linear characteristic such as plant friction and hysteresis attributed to the conventional modulation algorithm. Accordingly, even in a plant in which the temporary control input is greatly changed, it is possible to prevent oscillation of the output, thereby improving the controllability.

Abstract:
A plant control system using response specifying control that makes it possible to independently set a follow-up behavior for an output value of a plant when a target output value of the plant changes and a convergent behavior for a difference between a target output value and an output value when the output value of the plant changes. The control system has a controller for determining a clutch stroke on the basis of a model equation of a clutch device such that a target rotational speed and an actual rotational speed of the clutch device coincide with each other. The controller includes a target value filter for carrying out filtering computation on a target rotational speed to calculate a filtering target value that converges to the target rotational speed with a response delay, and a response specifying control unit that determines the clutch stroke by response specifying control such that the filtering target value and the clutch rotational speed coincide with each other.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a controller for controlling a modeled plant robustly against disturbance. The controller comprises an estimator and a control unit. The estimator estimates disturbance applied to the plant. The control unit determines an input to the plant so that an output of the plant converges to a desired value. The input to the plant is determined to include a value obtained by multiplying the estimated disturbance by a predetermined gain. Since estimated disturbance is reflected in the input to the plant, control having robustness against disturbance is implemented. The controller may comprise a state predictor. The state predictor predicts the output of the plant based on the estimated disturbance and dead time included in the plant. The control unit determined the input to the plant so that the predicted output converges to a desired value. Since the state predictor allows for the dead time, the accuracy of the control is improved. The estimated disturbance is reflected in the predicted output, an error between the predicted output and an actual output of the plant is removed.
Abstract:
A controller for a contact mechanism for preventing a lack of a pressing force applied from a contacting member to a contacted member when determining a control input to an actuator moving the contacting member by a position control. The controller sets a target position of the contacting member, grasps an actual position of the contacting member, determines a control input to the actuator (so as to increase an output of the actuator along with an increase in a difference between the target position and the actual position of the contacting member to eliminate the difference), and detects that the contacting member contacts the contacted member.

A control apparatus is provided for ensuring a high-level control resolution and a high control accuracy even when a plant exhibits strong and varying non-linear characteristics with a varying sensitivity of a control amount to a control input. The control apparatus for controlling a cam phase through a cam phase varying mechanism comprises an ECU. The ECU calculates an SLD control input for controlling a cam phase to converge to a target cam phase in accordance with a predetermined control algorithm, and calculate a control input to the cam phase varying mechanism by modulating the SLD control input in accordance with a predetermined modulation algorithm. The ECU also sets an amplitude setting value in accordance with the cam phase, an engine rotational speed, an oil pressure, and an oil temperature.
