Simulation of Automotive Engine Phase Signal Based on Closed-Loop Strategy

Abstract

In this paper, an automotive engine phase signal simulation algorithm is proposed based on a closed-loop feedback strategy, and its corresponding model is built. The signal incentives are carried out in the front-end, and the synchronization capture and comparison are conducted in the back-end. The phase simulation of signal output is achieved using closed-loop strategy, which can effectively eliminate the inconsistency between crankshaft and camshaft phases, and thus the accuracy and flexibility of phase signal generation are guaranteed. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is real time, and the deviation of simulated signals from actual phase signals is small.
