摘要:
The invention describes an apparatus and method for detecting a short circuit to a battery voltage when driving a piezoelectric element, for example, used as an actuator in a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine. The apparatus and method are characterized in that separate switches are used for selecting a piezoelectric element to be operated and for selecting the operation that is to be performed on the piezoelectric element. A short circuit to battery voltage is detected by first activating the switches to select a piezoelectric element. For a predetermined time interval, the invention monitors for abnormal currents flowing in series with the piezoelectric element. If abnormal currents are detected, an error signal is generated indicating a short circuit to battery voltage. If no abnormal currents are detected during the predetermined time interval, then the switches for selecting a charging or discharging operation are activated to continue with the normal cycling of the piezoelectric elements.

摘要:
A method and a device are described for detecting a fault current across a piezoelectric actuator (5) of an injector or its high voltage supply lead (6, 6a). Because the fault current upon contact with a person, for example, is relatively small compared to the useful current that charges or discharges the actuator, direct measurement of the current is not reliable. Therefore, it is suggested that, during the injection or in an injection pause, when the piezoelectric actuator (5) is charged, the voltage variation or a change in voltage (dU) be measured and the difference be compared to a predefined threshold value (S). When the threshold value (S) is exceeded, a fault message is produced, the voltage source is shut off, and/or the piezoelectric actuator (5) is discharged. The measured fault can be weighted using a counting algorithm. The method thus provides maximum protection upon contact, in particular for service personnel.
