摘要:
A control system for a plant includes a sensor for detecting an output from the plant, an adaptive controller for controlling a manipulated variable applied to control of the plant in such a manner that an output from the sensor becomes equal to a desired value, and an adaptive parameter-adjusting device for adjusting adaptive parameters used by the adaptive controller. The adaptive parameter-adjusting device has an identification error-calculating device for calculating an identification error of the adaptive parameters and generating an identification error signal indicative of the calculated identification error, and an adjusting device for adjusting the adaptive parameters based on the calculated identification error. The adaptive parameter-adjusting device includes a non-linear filter for generating an output of 0 or approximately 0 in response to the identification error signal when the identification error is within a predetermined range. The adjusting device adjusts the adaptive parameters by using the output from the non-linear filter.

An air-fuel ratio control system for a multi-cylinder engine is provided. An air-fuel ratio sensor is arranged in an exhaust system of the engine for detecting an air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the engine and for generating an output indicative of the air-fuel ratio of the mixture. An adaptive controller determines an amount of fuel to be supplied to the engine with a first predetermined repetition period in a manner such that the output from the air-fuel ratio sensor becomes equal to a desired value. An adaptive parameter-adjusting mechanism adjusts adaptive parameters used by the adaptive controller. In the adaptive parameter-adjusting mechanism, the adaptive parameters are calculated with a second predetermined repetition period longer than the first predetermined repetition period, and output data indicative of results of the calculation is generated. Further, the output data indicative of results of the calculation is smoothed and output data indicative of the smoothed data is generated with a repetition period at least equal to the first predetermined repetition period. The adaptive controller uses the smoothed data as values of the adaptive parameters.

A control system for a plant includes a sensor for detecting an output from the plant, an adaptive controller for controlling a manipulated variable applied to control of the plant in a manner such that an output from the sensor becomes equal to a desired value, and an adaptive parameter vector-adjusting mechanism for adjusting an adaptive parameter vector used by the adaptive controller. The adaptive parameter vector-adjusting mechanism is constructed such that an updating component for updating the adaptive parameter vector is added to an initial value of the adaptive parameter vector, and updates the adaptive parameter vector by multiplying at least part of preceding values of the updating component by a predetermined coefficient which is larger than 0 but smaller than 1.

The adaptive controller is configured in a manner adapted to a predetermined dead time shorter than an actual dead time which the plant and the detection means possess. Sampling timing of an input vector input to the adaptive parameter-adjusting device corresponds to the actual dead time.

A target air-fuel ratio KCMD for an exhaust gas upstream of a catalytic converter is sequentially determined to converge the output VO2/OUT of an O2 sensor downstream of the catalytic converter to a target value VO2/TARGET, and the amount of fuel supplied to an internal combustion engine is controlled to converge the output KACT of an air-fuel ratio sensor to the target air-fuel ratio KCMD. While the amount of fuel supplied to the internal combustion engine is being thus controlled, the value of a deterioration linear function &sgr; whose variable components are represented by time-series data of the output VO2/OUT of the O2 sensor is determined. A central value of the square &sgr;2 of the value of the deterioration linear function &sgr; is determined as a deterioration evaluating parameter. A deteriorated state of the catalytic converter is evaluated on the basis of the value of the deterioration evaluating parameter.

摘要:
A fuel supply control system for an internal combustion engine calculates a basic amount of fuel to be supplied to the engine, based on the rotational speed of the engine and load on the engine. An amount of fuel adhering to the inner wall surface of the intake passage of the engine is estimated to calculate an adherent fuel-dependent correction amount. An amount of fuel carried off from the inner wall surface of the intake passage into at least one combustion chamber of the engine is estimated to calculate a carried-off fuel-dependent correction amount. The basic amount of fuel is corrected such that the air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the engine becomes equal to a desired air-fuel ratio determined depending on operating conditions of the engine to obtain a corrected basic fuel amount, and at the same time the corrected basic fuel amount is corrected by the use of the adherent fuel-dependent correction amount and the carried-off fuel-dependent correction amount to calculate an amount of fuel to be supplied to the engine. At least one of the adherent fuel-dependent correction amount and the carried-off fuel-dependent correction amount is corrected according to the desired air-fuel ratio.

A control system for an internal combustion engine includes a canister for adsorbing evaporative fuel generated in the fuel tank, a purging passage extending between the canister and the intake system, for purging evaporative fuel into the intake system, and a purge control valve for controlling a flow rate of evaporative fuel to be supplied to the intake system through the purging passage. Various sensors detect operating conditions of the engine, and an ECU controls the purge control valve according to detected operating conditions. An amount of fuel to be supplied to the engine is feedback-controlled by calculating a feedback control amount, based on an output from an air-fuel ratio sensor arranged in the exhaust system by using a controller of a recurrence formula type, and the amount of fuel to be supplied to the engine is controlled based on the calculated feedback control amount, such that an air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine is converged to a desired air-fuel ratio. An average value of the feedback control amount is calculated while the purge control valve is open. The purge control valve is controlled based on the calculated average value.
摘要:
A system for controlling an air/fuel ratio of an internal combustion engine, including a feedback control loop having an adaptive controller (STR controller) that receives as inputs a desired value r and a controlled variable y output from the plant (engine) and an adaptation mechanism that estimates adaptive parameters. The STR controller calculates a feedback correction coefficient KSTR, as an output u based upon at least the adaptive parameters, for correcting a basic amount of fuel supply calculated by retrieving mapped data, prepared beforehand, such that the controlled variable y converges to the desired value r. The system is configured such that the controlled variable y is determined based upon the detected air/fuel ratio KACT and a desired air/fuel ratio KCMD so that the desired value r is a predetermined value. More specifically, the controlled variable is determined to be a ratio between the detected air/fuel ratio and the desired air/fuel ratio such that the desired value r is 1.0 or thereabout. With this arrangement, when the desired air/fuel ratio is changed or corrected frequently, the estimation of the adaptive parameters is not affected, thereby improving the stability of air/fuel ratio control.

An apparatus for detecting a failure of an exhaust gas sensor disposed in an exhaust manifold is provided. The apparatus comprises a control unit. The control unit compares detection values of the exhaust gas sensor detected under different element temperatures of the exhaust gas sensor. The control unit detects a failure of the exhaust gas sensor based on the comparison result. In one embodiment, the different states include a state in which the element temperature is maintained at higher level and a state in which the element temperature is maintained at lower level. The element temperature can be controlled by a response assignment control scheme. In one embodiment, the detection values are subjected to a filtering process and/or a statistical process using a successive least squares method. The control unit compares the statistically processed detection values to detect a failure of the exhaust gas sensor.
