Abstract

An open-loop and closed-loop control method for an internal combustion engine ( 1 ) with a common rail injection system, in which a rail pressure (pCR) is subject to closed-loop control during normal operation. A second actual rail pressure is determined by a second filter, a load reduction is detected when the second actual rail pressure exceeds a first limit, and when a load reduction is detected, the rail pressure (pCR) is controlled by setting the PWM signal (PWM) to a PWM value that is increased compared to normal operation by a PWM assignment unit.

Claims (13)

1. An open-loop and closed-loop control method for an internal combustion engine with a common rail injection system, in which a rail pressure (pCR) is subject to closed-loop control during normal operation, comprising the steps of:

determining a first actual rail pressure (pCR 1 (IST)) from the rail pressure (pCR) by a first filter;

calculating a control deviation (ep) from a set rail pressure (pCR(SL)) and the first actual rail pressure (pCR 1 (IST));

calculating a correcting variable (qV 1 ) from the control deviation (ep) with a pressure controller;

determining a PWM signal (PWM) for controlling a controlled system as a function of the correcting variable (qV 1 ), the PWM signal having a constant base frequency;

determining a second actual rail pressure (pCR 2 (IST)) by a second filter;

detecting a load reduction when the second actual rail pressure (pCR 2 (IST)) exceeds a first limit (GW 1 ); and,

when a load reduction is detected, controlling the rail pressure (pCR) by open-loop control by setting the PWM signal (PWM) to a PWM value (PWM 2 ) that is increased compared to normal operation by a PWM assignment unit. , 17

2. The open-loop and closed-loop control method in accordance with claim 1 , including presetting the increased PWM value (PWM 2 ) for an interval of time (dt).

3. The open-loop and closed-loop control method in accordance with claim 2 , wherein, within the time interval (dt), the increased PWM value (PWM 2 ) is preset according to a step function.

4. The open-loop and closed-loop control method in accordance with claim 2 , including, after the time interval (dt) has elapsed, initializing an I component of the pressure controller with a value of zero or a value that corresponds to the negative of a set consumption volume flow (qV 3 ).

5. The open-loop and closed-loop control method in accordance with claim 4 , including again subjecting the rail pressure (pCR) to closed-loop control in accordance with normal operation after initialization of the pressure controller.

6. The open-loop and closed-loop control method in accordance with claim 1 , including releasing open-loop control for presetting an increased PWM value when the rail pressure (pCR) falls below a second limit (GW 2 ).
