Method for the open-loop control and closed-loop control of an internal combustion engine
The invention relates to a method for the open-loop control and the closed-loop control of an internal combustion engine ( 1 ), the rail pressure (pCR) being controlled in the normal operating state in a closed loop control mode via an intake throttle ( 4 ) on the lower pressure side as the first pressure control member in a rail pressure control loop and at the same time a rail pressure disturbance variable being applied to the rail pressure (pCR) via a pressure control valve ( 12 ) on the high pressure side as the second pressure control member. For this purpose, a pressure control valve volume flow (VDRV) is redirected from the rail ( 6 ) to a fuel tank ( 2 ) via the pressure control valve ( 12 ) on the high pressure side, and an emergency operation mode is activated once a defective rail pressure sensor ( 9 ) is detected, in which emergency operation the pressure control valve ( 12 ) on the high pressure side and the intake throttle ( 4 ) on the low pressure side are actuated depending on the same set point value.
1. A method for open-loop and closed-loop control of an internal combustion engine, comprising the steps of: automatically controlling a rail pressure during normal operation in a closed-loop rail pressure control system by a suction throttle on a low-pressure side of the closed-loop rail pressure control system, which suction throttle acts as a first pressure regulator, and, simultaneously, the rail pressure is acted upon with a rail pressure disturbance variable of a pressure control valve on a high-pressure side of the closed-loop rail pressure control system, in which pressure control valve acts as a second pressure regulator by a pressure control valve volume flow being redirected from a rail into a fuel tank by the pressure control valve on the high-pressure side; and, if a defective rail pressure sensor is detected, changing to an emergency operating mode, in which the pressure control valve on the high-pressure side is actively actuated and the suction throttle on the low-pressure side is actuated as a function of a common set point value, wherein the common setpoint value corresponds to a set emergency operation volume flow, which is computed by an emergency operation input-output map as a function of a set injection quantity and engine speed, the method further including, in the emergency operating mode, computing a PWM signal for activating the pressure control valve as a function of the set emergency operation volume flow and a set rail pressure, wherein a leakage volume flow is superimposed on the set emergency operation volume flow as a correction variable of the closed-loop rail pressure control system.
2. The method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the emergency operation input-output map is realized so that in an entire operating range of the internal combustion engine the pressure control valve volume flow is redirected from the rail into the fuel tank.
3. The method in accordance with claim 1 , including, during normal operation, setting a protective mode for temporarily increasing the PWM signal of the pressure control valve if the rail pressure rises above a limit, and blocking the protective mode in the emergency operating mode.
4. The method in accordance with claim 3 , including, when a protective mode is set, preventing resetting the protective mode if, with the protective mode set, a defective rail pressure sensor is detected and a switch is made to emergency operating mode.
5. The method in accordance with claim 1 , including, in the emergency operation, adding a set consumption to the set emergency operation volume flow as a correcting variable of the closed-loop rail pressure control system.
6. The method in accordance with claim 5 , including optionally additionally adding a leakage volume flow, which is computed by a leakage input-output map as a function of the set injection quantity and the engine speed.
7. The method in accordance with claim 1 , further including, in a speed-based structure, computing the set injection quantity by a speed controller as a correcting variable.
8. The method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein in a torque-based structure, the set injection quantity corresponds to a set torque.
