Abstract

Digital technology furnishes an extensive array of options for open and closed-loop control of automotive electronic systems. A large number of parameters can be included in the process to support optimal operation of various systems. After receiving the electric signals transmitted by the sensors, the control unit processes these data in order to generate control signals for the actuators. The control program, the “software”, is stored in a special memory and implemented by a microcontroller. The control unit and its components are referred to as “hardware”. The EDC control unit contains all of the algorithms for open and closed-loop control needed to govern the engine-management processes.
