摘要:
A control apparatus for controlling multiple power loads in a vehicle includes a circuit for detecting a current abnormality of a power element and a circuit for monitoring a temperature abnormality in a locality of the power element. Circuits are also provided continuing or shutting down the power element based on information concerning the above stated current and/or temperature abnormalities, with a timing which is established according to a substantially constant period or a time interval which is stored in advance in a memory element.

An electric power supply system for a vehicle has an electric power line wired in a loop configuration. From the electric power line power is supplied to a load, and to another system which supplies control system power supply. One shutdown circuit is provided in a module connected to the loop configured power supply line. When the electric power line and the load are short circuited, the shutdown can isolate and shut down only the failure point. Further, when the car is not in use, by stopping the power supply to the load, current consumption can be restrained. In response to detection of a ground short and a failure of a connection of a connector, an over-current prevention of an electric power line, a simple construction can be provided and a low current consumption can be realized.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine controller comprises a current or voltage source for controlling a potential at a diagnosis position in order to ensure a high-precision fault diagnosis, even if the drive cycle of the electromagnetic load (such as a fuel injector), in the internal combustion engine is shorted. Diagnosis timing is optimally set or the number of determinations for averaging is increased in order to ensure high-precision fault diagnosis without being influenced by unexpected disturbance such as noises. In fault diagnosis of a regeneration circuit into a booster circuit, either an input/output voltage or the regeneration current of a driver of the electromagnetic load is detected.

An internal combustion engine controller that drives an electromagnetic load is provided for improving a fault diagnosis precision of the electromagnetic load and stabilizing a high-speed control without influence of noises even if the drive cycle of the electromagnetic load is short. The internal combustion engine controller has high reliability in a fault diagnosis for a circuit to regenerate counter electromotive energy. The internal combustion engine controller comprises a current source or a voltage source for controlling a potential of the diagnosis position in order to ensure a high-precision fault diagnosis even if the drive cycle of the electromagnetic load, such as the fuel injector, in the internal combustion engine is shortened. Diagnosis timing is optimally set or the number of determinations for averaging is increased in order to ensure the high-precision fault diagnosis without being influenced by unexpected disturbance such as noises. In the fault diagnosis of the regeneration circuit into the booster circuit, an input/output voltage or the regeneration current of a driving switching element of the electromagnetic load is detected.

A power-feed control apparatus for a vehicle in which electrical loads are arranged in the vehicle includes a power source provided in a vehicle; at least one power semiconductor element, the power semiconductors controlling power-feed to the electrical load; a control unit for controlling the power semiconductor element; an anomaly detection circuit for monitoring operations of the power semiconductor element and determining whether or not an anomaly is occurring in a circuit including the power semiconductor element and the electrical load; and a switching circuit for switching a threshold level between a level for an anomaly detection in a starting period of the load and that in a steady state of the load connected to the power semiconductor element; wherein if an anomaly is detected in the circuit by the anomaly detection circuit, the control unit turns off the power semiconductor so as to interrupt power-feed to the electrical load.
摘要:
In an electric power switch circuit with an overcurrent or overheating protection function, unnecessary ON-OFF cycling is prevented. A MOSFET is used as an electric power element for energizing a load according to a control signal. A temperature detector detects the temperature in the neighborhood of the MOSFET, and a control unit opens a switch, interrupting input of the control signal to the MOSPET when the temperature detected by the temperature detecting means is higher than the predetermined temperature. An interruption status retaining device maintains the interruption of the control signal, preventing repetitive ON-OFF cycling.
