    Abstract: When an abnormality judgement section judges that there is a failure of an energy inputting circuit, an energy inputting line, through which electrical energy is inputted from the energy inputting circuit to a primary winding, is changed over to a disconnected state by output halt switching means. As a result, since inputting of electrical energy to the primary winding is thereby halted, problems arising due to continuation of inputting electrical energy to the energy inputting circuit can be prevented, even in the event of a failure of the energy inputting circuit, so that reliability can be enhanced.

    Abstract: When normal operation is detected by a self-interruption signal source and a first transistor is on, if an on-signal is inputted to an IN terminal, a second transistor is turned on and a third transistor is turned off. Accordingly, an IGBT is turned on. In this state, if an abnormality is detected by the self-interruption signal source, the second transistor is turned off and the third transistor is turned on. Accordingly, a gate terminal of the IGBT is connected to an emitter terminal via the first and third transistors, and charges accumulated by gate capacitance of the IGBT are rapidly discharged. Consequently, if a comparator detects that a collector voltage of the IGBT has exceeded a predetermined voltage, the first transistor is turned off, and a gradual interruption, in which the charges accumulated by the gate capacitance are gradually released by a resistor, is performed.

    Abstract: An ignition system of a combustion engine has a start-up adjustment curve with a maximum rotational speed, an operating adjustment curve and a switch-over device for switching between curves. The start-up adjustment curve is selected in the case of a start-up of the combustion engine. A rotational speed curve is divided into adjacent cycles. The start of the first cycle is the point in time of the second ignition after the start-up and the start of the subsequent cycles is in each case the point in time of ignition at which the rotational speed is less than in the case of the subsequent point in time of ignition. The criterion for switching to the operating adjustment curve is whether the average of the rotational speeds of successive cycles differs by less than a first tolerance value.

    Abstract: Described is a method for detecting a glow plug replacement of an engine, wherein a first value of a temperature-dependent variable is measured at a first glow plug of the engine and, simultaneously, a second value of the temperature-dependent variable is measured at a second glow plug of the engine. The first value of the temperature-dependent variable is compared with a stored reference value of the first glow plug and a glow plug replacement is detected if the difference of the first value from the reference value exceeds a threshold value. According to this disclosure, it is provided that the reference value is a value which, in an earlier measurement, was measured at the first glow plug simultaneously with the measurement of a value at the second glow plug which corresponds to the second value within a predefined tolerance.
