  • Patent number: 9334823
    Abstract: A controller for an injection system having a plurality of fuel injectors includes a map controller. From a desired injection value, the map controller generates a control value for actuating a fuel injector with reference to a specified map. A determination unit determines the actual injection value for at least one injection made, and an adaption unit uses results from the determination unit in order to adapt actuation of the fuel injectors. The adaption unit determines an adaption value for injector actuation from the at least one actual injection value. In engine operation, the adaption unit receives the control values generated by the map controller as input. From this input, the adaption unit generates adapted actuation values as output by applying a mathematical function to the control values generated by the map controller. The at least one adaption value is included in the first mathematical function as parameter.

  • Publication number: 20140311453
    Abstract: A controller for a common-rail injection system includes a plurality of fuel injectors, a common fuel supply line for the fuel injectors, a high-pressure pump for supplying the common fuel supply line with fuel, and a pressure sensor for determining the pressure in the common fuel supply line. A determination unit evaluates data of the pressure sensor and, from the pressure drop caused by an injection in the common fuel supply line, determines the fuel quantity actually injected during this injection or a value derived therefrom. An adaption unit uses the results of the determination unit in order to adapt the actuation of the fuel injectors. The determination unit carries out at least one test injection, and the actually injected fuel quantity or a value derived therefrom is effected by way of the test injection or injections.

  • Patent number: 6736048
    Abstract: A hydrostatic axial piston machine has a drum-like cylinder block which is supported in a manner fixed against rotation on a driving or output shaft and is provided concentrically and parallel to its center line with cylinder boreholes in which axially displaccable pistons are arranged which are supported via spherical heads on a slanting disk which is fixed to the housing and preferably adjustable in its slanting angle. The cylinder openings opposite the slanting disk sweep over roughly kidney-shaped low pressure and high pressure control openings of a control body, between which reversing regions with additional boreholes are located. To control the additional boreholes, which influence the pressure increase or the pressure drop on the passing of the cylinder openings over the reversing regions, in dependence on the operating states, a borehole opens at least in a reversing region of the control body which is connected to the high pressure side or the high pressure control opening by a line.
