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 a closed loop mode in the normal operating state and an emergency operation mode being activated once a defective rail pressure sensor ( 9 ) is detected, in which emergency operation the rail pressure (pCR) is controlled in an open loop mode. The invention is characterized in that in the emergency operation mode, the rail pressure (pCR) is gradually increased until a passive pressure relief valve ( 11 ) is activated which redirects fuel from the rail ( 6 ) to the fuel tank ( 2 ) when it is open.
1. A method for open-loop and closed-loop control of an internal combustion engine, comprising the steps of: controlling rail pressure by closed-loop control during normal operation; and, if a defective rail pressure sensor is detected, changing from normal operating mode to emergency operating mode, in which the rail pressure is raised to switch a passive pressure control valve, which in an open position redirects fuel from the rail into a fuel tank, including determining a set current, which serves as a triggering signal of ire a suction throttle, by a pump characteristic curve in normal operating mode and in the emergency operating mode the rail pressure is controlled in that the set current is determined by a limit curve whereby in emergency operating mode, the rail pressure is successively increased up to response of the passive pressure control valve.
2. The method in accordance with claim 1 , including, in emergency operating mode, determining the set current by the limit curve at least as a function of a set consumption of fuel.
3. The method in accordance with claim 1 , including, in emergency operating mode, determining the set current by the limit curve as a function of a leakage volume flow, which is computed by a leakage input-output map as a function of the injection quantity and engine speed.
4. The method in accordance with claim 1 , including, in emergency operating mode, determining energization time of an injector as a function of a set injection quantity and a mean rail pressure.
5. The method in accordance with claim 4 , including preassigning the mean rail pressure as a constant value.
