Abstract: A transmitter arrangement for cylinder identification in an internal combustion engine having n cylinders, the arrangement comprises a transmitter disc driveable by a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine and having a plurality of angle marks and at least one distinguishable reference mark allocated to a fixed crankshaft angle, a transmitter disc driveable by a camshaft of the internal combustion engine and rotating half as quickly, the transmitter disc having a number of segments corresponding to the cylinder number n, the segments having two different lengths and two interspaces of different lengths between two segments each, two stationary pick-ups allocated to the transmitter discs and transmitting as a function of the marks passing by output signals having low phases and high phases, a control unit evaluating signals from the stationary pick-ups, the angle marks being arranged such that the output signal of each of the pick-ups contains during a first crankshaft revolution a sequence of low phases

Abstract: A control system is described for the electric fuel pump of an internal combustion engine, with a sensor for the speed of a shaft of the engine and with a logic circuit for providing a shut off signal for the pump, depending on the speed detected, where the signal of a further sensor (14) for the speed is supplied to the a logic circuit (16, 17), and where shut off then takes place only when both speed signals deviate from a specified range. In this way, it is ensured that the vehicle remains drivable if one of the two sensors (13) or (14) fails.

Abstract: A control system for an internal combustion engine which includes a crankshaft sensor for sensing a crankshaft transmitter disk and a camshaft sensor for sensing a camshaft transmitter disk. Both sensors supply signals to a control device which calculates ignition and injection signals based upon operating parameters, such as engine load and rotational speed, with the rotational speed being based on the signals for the crankshaft sensor or camshaft sensor. In case of crankshaft sensor failure, an emergency function in the control device simulates the crankshaft signals based on the signals from the camshaft sensor. Preferably, the number of segments on the camshaft transmitter disk are equal to the number of cylinders of the engine.
