Abstract

A method for operating an electronic controller of a motor vehicle, in particular of an engine controller, with which signal processing is carried out in order to control the operation of the motor vehicle and/or of the engine. The signal processing of the controller includes a filtering operation, the filtering operation being carried out as a function of the operating state of the motor vehicle and/or of the engine.

Claims (21)

1. A signal processing method for operating an electronic controller of a motor vehicle, in order to control the operation of the motor vehicle, said method comprising the steps of:

determining an operating state of the motor as a function of at least one parameter wherein said at least one parameter modifies a variable signal; and

providing a filtering operation of said signal carried out as a function of the operating state of the motor vehicle.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the filtering operation is a low-pass filtering operation.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

selecting at least one of a cut-off frequency which is assigned to the filtering operation and an assigned attenuating operation as a function of the operating state of the motor vehicle.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the filtering operation is carried out when at least one of determining and processing a characteristic variable which is assigned to an exhaust gas purification device of the motor vehicle.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the filtering operation is carried out when at least one of determining and processing a variable which is assigned to a charge of a particle filter which is arranged in an exhaust gas purification device of a motor vehicle autoignition internal combustion engine.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein, in an operating state of at least one of the motor vehicle and of the internal combustion engine which is assigned to an active regeneration of the particle filter, the filtering operation is carried out when at least one of determining and processing the particle filter charge variable with at least one of a higher cut-off frequency and smaller attenuation than in an operating state of at least one of the motor vehicle and the internal combustion engine which is assigned to a charge of the particle filter.

7. A method for operating an electronic engine controller, comprising the steps of:

determining an operating state of an engine as a function of at least one parameter which parameter modifies a variable signal; and

providing a filtering operation as a function of said operating state of said engine.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the filtering operation is a low-pass filtering operation.

9. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising the steps of:

selecting at least one of a cut-off frequency which is assigned to the filtering operation and an assigned attenuating operation as a function of the operating state of the engine.

10. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the filtering operation is carried out when at least one of determining and processing a characteristic variable which is assigned to an exhaust gas purification device of the engine.

11. A signal processing method for operating an electronic controller of a motor vehicle, in order to control the operation of the motor vehicle, said method comprising the steps of:

determining an operation state of the motor vehicle; and

providing a filtering operation carried out as a function of the operating state of the motor vehicle;

wherein the filtering operation is carried out when at least one of determining and processing a variable which is assigned to a charge of a particle filter which is arranged in an exhaust gas purification device of a motor vehicle autoignition internal combustion engine.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein, in an operating state of at least one of the motor vehicle and of the internal combustion engine which is assigned to an active regeneration of the particle filter, the filtering operation is carried out when at least one of determining and processing the particle filter charge variable with at least one of a higher cut-off frequency and a smaller attenuation than in an operating state of at least one of the motor vehicle and the internal combustion engine which is assigned to a charge of the particle filter.
