Abstract:
A failure detection apparatus for preventing erroneous detection due to a degradation of a sensor and thereby accurately performing failure detection of a variable valve timing and lift control system is provided. The detection apparatus detects a failure of a variable valve timing and lift control system in an engine. The detection apparatus detects a vibration inside an engine cylinder, extracts the component of seating sound of the valve from the output signal of the sensor, determines an actual seating time of said valve from the component of seating sound, and calculates a target seating time of said valve based on at least one of a requested lift amount, a requested advance angle, and a requested open angle depending on the operating conditions. The detecting apparatus corrects the actual seating time for a stationary deviation between the actual seating time and the target seating time caused by degradation or unevenness of the sensor. The detecting apparatus determines a failure of the variable valve timing and lift control system by comparing the corrected actual seating time with the target seating time.
Abstract:
An ignition timing control system for internal combustion engines, which is capable of preventing occurrence of variation in engine speed and vibrations which can be caused due to variation in combustion state between the cylinders, to thereby improve drivability. The ECU 2 of the ignition timing control system 1 calculates a statistically processed value Pmi_ls#i according to the in-cylinder pressure Pcyl#i, and calculates an averaging target value Piav_cmd by weighted averaging of a minimum value Pmi_ls_min1 and a second minimum value Pmi_ls_min2 within a predetermined range of the statistically processed value. The ECU 2 calculates a correction value DIGCMP#i by performing a limiting process for setting the optimization correction value DIGOP#i for control of the ignition timing to a limit value on the advanced side, on the averaging correction value DIGPIAV#i for causing the statistically processed values Pmi_ls#i to follow the averaging target value Piav_cmd, such that the statistically processed values Pmi_ls#i becomes maximum. The ignition timing IGLOG#i is calculated for each cylinder based on the correction value DIGCMP#i.
Abstract:
A control apparatus which is capable of ensuring both high-level stability and accuracy of control and reducing manufacturing costs thereof and computation load thereon, even when controlling a controlled object having extremal characteristics or a controlled object of a multi-input multi-output system. The control apparatus is comprised of an onboard model analyzer and a cooperative controller. The onboard model analyzer, based on a controlled object model defining the relationships between an intake opening angle and an exhaust reopening angle, and an indicated mean effective pressure, calculates first and second response indices and indicative of a correlation therebetween, respectively. The cooperative controller calculates the intake opening angle and the exhaust reopening angle with predetermined algorithms such that the indicated mean effective pressure is caused to converge to its target value, and determines the increasing/decreasing rate and the increasing/decreasing direction of the aforementioned angles according to the first and second response indices.
Abstract:
A control system for a plant is provided. This control system can control the plant more stably, when the model parameters of the controlled object model which are obtained by modeling the plant, which is a controlled object, are identified and the sliding mode control is performed using the identified model parameters. The model parameter identifier (22) calculates a model parameter vector (θ) by adding an updating vector (dθ) to a reference vector (θbase) of the model parameter. The updating vector (dθ) is corrected by multiplying a past value of at least one element of the updating vector by a predetermined value which is greater than “0” and less than “1”. The model parameter vector (θ) is calculated by adding the corrected updating vector (dθ) to the reference vector (θbase).
Abstract:
A control system which is capable of enhancing the accuracy of control, when the output of a controlled object is controlled with a control algorithm to which is applied a modulation algorithm based on one of a Δ modulation algorithm, a ΔΣ modulation algorithm, and a ΣΔ modulation algorithm, even if the absolute value of an input value to the modulation algorithm continues to be larger than 1 for a long time. The control system 1 for controlling the cam phase Cain of an intake cam 5 includes an ECU 2. The ECU 2 calculates a limited value deviation r2 for control of the cam phase Cain by equations (1) to (10), modulates the limited value deviation r2 with an algorithm expressed by equations (11) to (13) based on the ΔΣ modulation algorithm to thereby calculate a modulation output u″ as a predetermined value ±R (R>|r2|), and calculates a control output Vcain to the electromagnetic variable cam phase mechanism 30 based on the predetermined value ±R (steps 5 and 6).
Abstract:
A control system for a plant, having an identifier and a controller. The identifier identifies model parameters of a controlled object model which is obtained by modeling the plant. The controller calculates a control input to the plant so that an output from the plant coincides with a control target value, using the identified model parameters. The controller calculates a self-tuning control input, using the model parameters identified by the identifier. The controller further calculates a damping control input according to the rate of change in the output from the plant or the rate of change in a deviation between the output from the plant and the control target value. The controller calculates the control input to the plant as a sum of the self-tuning control input and the damping control input.

An ECU of an control apparatus of the engine calculates an FF correction value based on a thermodynamic model of a variable valve lift mechanism, calculates an FB correction value according to an air-fuel ratio correction coefficient and an actual air-fuel ratio, calculates a lift correction value as the difference between the FF correction value and the FB correction value or as a value of the FF correction value, corrects the valve lift by the lift correction value to thereby calculate a corrected valve lift, and carries out air-fuel ratio control and ignition timing control according to the corrected valve lift.
Abstract:
There are provided a control device, a control method, a control unit, and an engine control unit, which are capable of controlling a controlled object with relatively large phase delay and dead time, while attaining elimination of lag in control timing between the input and output of the controlled object and improvement of control accuracy at the same time. A state predictor calculates a deviation (output deviation) between an output from an oxygen concentration sensor and a predetermined target value at a predetermined deviation calculation period. Then, a DSM controller calculates a target air-fuel ratio for converging the output from the oxygen concentration sensor to the predetermined target value, according to the calculated deviation, based on any one of a Δ modulation algorithm, a ΔΣ modulation algorithm, and a ΣΔ modulation algorithm at a predetermined calculation period shorter than the predetermined deviation calculation period.
