Abstract: A method for positional determination for an EC motor (14) on a device for the adjustment of the rotational angular position of the camshaft (11) of a reciprocating piston combustion engine relative to the crankshaft (12) is provided, whereby a positional measuring signal is tracked on each occurrence of a state change for a sensor signal from magnetic field sensors arranged on the stator of the EC motor (14), provided for detection of magnetic poles of the EC rotor.

Abstract: In a method for measuring the speed of an electrical machine having a stator, a rotor and a winding, in particular of an electronically commutated motor, a speed-measurement signal ? is sampled, in that a measured speed value ?(k) for the rotor is determined for each of a series of sampling instants. Moreover, a moment of inertia value for the mass moment of inertia of the rotor is determined. In addition, a current signal I is sampled, in that a current value I(k) for the electrical current in the winding is determined for each of the sampling instants. An estimated value ?s(k) for each of the measured speed values ?(k) is determined from a measured speed value ?k(k?1) assigned to an earlier sampling instant, from the current signal I and from the moment of inertia value. A tolerance band containing the estimated value ?s(k) is assigned to this estimated value ?s(k).

Abstract: An adjusting device for the rotational position of the camshaft of a reciprocating piston engine relative to the crankshaft, has an actuator for adjusting the rotational position that is connected into a control circuit. The control circuit has a controller, which is linked to a data memory, in which controller coefficients for a transfer function of the controller are stored.

A device for ascertaining the operating state of the adjusting device and/or of the reciprocating piston engine is connected to the mode selector in such a way that the controller coefficient set used in the particular case for the control is dependent on the operating state.

Abstract: A transmission system including a shift mechanism for operating and controlling the transmission system. To automatically detect geometric characteristic values of the transmission system or of the shifting device a selector motor and a shift motor actuate a select or finger that is displaceably mounted in a selection-shift-passageway layout. Starting from an initial position whose coordinates within the selection-shift-passageway layout are unknown, the selector finger is displaced in the directions of shifting and in the directions of selection in order to detect paths of movement in the direction of selection or shifting. The selector finger is repeatedly displaced to establish the maximum paths of movement until the predetermined transmission geometric characteristic values are completely detected. Also disclosed are a control device for controlling a transmission system that includes a shift mechanism, and a method for controlling such a transmission system.
