A control system for a throttle valve actuating device is disclosed. The throttle valve actuating device includes a throttle valve of an internal combustion engine and an actuator for actuating the throttle valve. At least one model parameter of a controlled object model which is obtained by modeling the throttle valve actuating device is calculated.

A system for discriminating degradation of an exhaust purification system of an internal combustion engine having an adsorbent installed at a bypass exhaust gas passage branched from an exhaust pipe of the engine, which is opened by a switch-over valve at starting of the engine to introduce the exhaust gas such that the adsorbent adsorbs unburned HC in exhaust gas generated by the engine and is closed such that the adsorbent desorbs the adsorbed HC and the desorbed HC is thereafter recirculated at a position upstream of a catalyst. In the system, an inflow amount and outflow amount of HC flowing in and out of the adsorbent are determined based at least on the engine operating conditions and the detected concentration of HC. Then, the ratio therebetween is calculated and compared with a threshold value and if the ratio is less than the threshold value, the adsorbent is discriminated to be degraded, thereby enabling to improve the discrimination accurately.

While the amount of intake air introduced into an internal combustion engine is being increased by an intake air quantity control unit, an ignition timing control unit manipulates the ignition timing of the internal combustion engine to converge the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine to a target rotational speed according to a feedback control process (PI control process). The ignition timing control unit has a function to vary the feedback gain of the feedback control process depending on the ignition timing, such that the feedback gain is smaller as the ignition timing being manipulated is more retarded.

A plant control system has a reference value setting unit for variably setting a reference value for an air-fuel ratio to be given to an exhaust system including a catalytic converter, depending on a component based on an adaptive control law of a manipulated variable of the air-fuel ratio generated by a controller according to an adaptive sliding mode control process in order to converge an output of an O2 sensor disposed downstream of the catalytic converter to a target value. The plant control system also has an estimator for estimating the difference between an output of the O2 sensor after the dead time of the exhaust system and a target value therefor, using the difference between the set reference value and a detected value of the air-fuel ratio, and giving the estimated difference to the controller.

A plant control system for controlling a plant includes an actuator for generating an input to the plant and a first detector for detecting an output from the plant. A manipulated variable determining unit determines a manipulated variable which determines the input to the plant according to a sliding mode control process such that an output from the first detector will be equalized to a predetermined target value. The manipulated variable determining unit determines the manipulated variable to converge a plurality of state quantities, which comprise differences between a plurality of present and previous time-series data of the output of the first detector and the target value, onto a balanced point on a hyperplane for the sliding mode control process, which is defined by a linear function having variables represented respectively by the state quantities.

The temperature of an exhaust gas flowing through an exhaust passage 3 is estimated or detected, and the temperature of an active element of an exhaust gas sensor 8. (O2 sensor) is controlled at a predetermined target temperature by a heater using the estimated or detected temperature of the exhaust gas. For estimating the temperature of the exhaust gas in the vicinity of the exhaust gas sensor 8, the exhaust passage 3 extending up to the exhaust gas sensor 8 is divided into a plurality of partial exhaust passageways 3a through 3d, the temperatures of the exhaust gas in the partial exhaust passageways 3a through 3d are estimated successively from an exhaust port 2 of an engine 1. The temperature of the exhaust gas is estimated according to an algorithm which takes into account a heat transfer between the exhaust gas and passage-defining members 6a, 6b, 7 which define the exhaust passage 3 and a heat radiation from the passage-defining members into the atmosphere. A control input that is applied to the heater includes at least a component depending on the temperature of the active element of the exhaust gas sensor 8 and a component depending on the temperature of the exhaust gas. Even if the temperature of the exhaust gas changes, the temperature of the active element of the exhaust gas sensor 8 can be controlled stably at the desired temperature.

A heater control device can control a heater to equalize the temperature of the active element with a predetermined target temperature using an estimated value of the temperature of the active element from the temperature estimating device.
