Abstract:
A transmitter for recognising the positions of cylinders and/or camshafts in which, in order to pinpoint the position, a pseudo-random code is read into a register and the current position is found from the current content of the register. The code is displayed in an assessment arrangement in which the pulse sequences from one or two sensors are evaluated, whereby the sensors scan the suitably surfaced transmitter wheels connected to the crank or camshaft.
Abstract:
A device for the electronic control of the adjusting mechanisms of an internal combustion engine, said control being effected by comparing differentiated sensor signals with predetermined threshold values. The mechanism can thus be directly adjusted by means of any regulating device. The system based on this process is very simple and inexpensive. Direct control of the adjusting mechanisms avoids the fluctuations caused by control circuits.
