Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9940308A1] The invention relates to a method for regulating the engine speed in multi-cylinder internal combustion engines in order to achieve, in a simple and cost effective way, a precise and rapid detection of the engine speed enabling a stable regulation of the motor at a constant speed when the speed changes periodically and temporarily. For this purpose, the time required for a fixed sequence of successively sampled pulses is measured continuously and used to form actual equidistant and non-corrected engine speed values (n). The number of successively sampled pulses is fixed on the basis of the number of the engine cylinders and the number of pulses that can be produced by the polar wheel each time it turns. In addition, the time required for a number of sampled pulses corresponding to a complete rotation of the polar wheel to be stored, is measured and used for producing a mean engine speed (N). The difference between the mean engine speed (N) and each actual uncorrected engine speed value (n) is smoothed for producing actual corrected engine speed values (x), said difference value is bound and then added to the actual non corrected engine speed (n). The actual corrected engine speed values (x) are compared to the predetermined value of the set speed engine (w) and transferred to a regulator (3) producing an output value (y) used for controlling the regulating means.
