Abstract

A method for the torque-oriented control of an internal combustion engine, in which a sum torque (MSUM) is calculated from a set torque value (MSW) and a friction torque (MF). A set injection quantity (mSL) for driving the internal combustion engine is calculated from the sum torque (MSUM) and an actual rpm value (nIST) by the use of an efficiency map (WKF). The set torque value (MSW) is calculated by way of an rpm controller with at least PI behavior from an rpm control deviation (e) between the set rpm value (nSL) and the actual rpm value (nIST), and the I component of the rpm controller is limited to a lower limit value (uGW), which is determined as a function of the friction torque (MF) (uGW=f(MF)).

Claims (12)

1. A method for torque-oriented control of an internal combustion engine, comprising the steps of: calculating a sum torque (MSUM) from a set torque value (MSW) and a friction torque (MF); calculating a set injection quantity (mSL) for driving the internal combustion engine from the sum torque (MSUM) and an actual rpm value (nIST) using an efficiency map (WKF); calculating the set torque value (MSW) by way of an rpm controller with at least PI behavior from an rpm control deviation (e) between a set rpm value (nSL) and the actual rpm value (nIST); and limiting an I component of the rpm controller to a lower limit value (uGW), which is determined as a function of the friction torque (MF) (uGW=f(MF)).

2. The method according to claim 1 , including calculating the lower limit value (uGW) as a function of negative friction torque (MF) and a first constant (K 1 ) (uGW≦K 1 −MF).

3. The method according to claim 1 , including calculating lower limit value (uGW) from the sum of a first constant (K 1 ) and a second constant (K 2 ), which corresponds to a negative maximum friction torque (MAX) of a friction torque map (RKF) (uGW≦K 1 −MAX).

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first constant (K 1 ) corresponds to a support point of the efficiency map (WKF) at which the set injection quantity (mSL) is equal to zero.

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first constant (K 1 ) corresponds to a support point of the efficiency map (WKF) at which the set injection quantity (mSL) is equal to zero.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the set torque value (MSW) is also limited to the lower limit value (uGW).

7. The method according to claim 1 , including calculating the friction torque (MF) as a function of a virtual temperature (TVIRT) and the actual rpm value (nIST) using a friction torque map (RKF).

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the friction torque (MF) corresponds to a relative friction torque (MFr), which is calculated from the deviation between the actual absolute friction torque (MF) and a standard friction torque (NORM), and the lower limit value (uGW) is calculated as a function of the relative friction torque (MFr) and a first constant (K 1 ) (uGW≦K 1 −MF).

9. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the friction torque (MF) corresponds to a relative friction torque (MFr), which is calculated from the deviation between the actual absolute friction torque (MF) and a standard friction torque (NORM), and the lower limit value (uGW) is calculated as a function of the relative friction torque (MFr) and a first constant (K 1 ) (uGW≦K 1 −MF).

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first constant (K 1 ) corresponds to a support point of the efficiency map (WKF) at which the set injection quantity (mSL) is equal to zero.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the first constant (K 1 ) corresponds to a support point of the efficiency map (WKF) at which the set injection quantity (mSL) is equal to zero.

12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the set torque value (MSW) is also limited to the lower limit value (uGW).
