A RESEARCH DEVICE TO CONTROL IGNITION AND INJECTION PARAMETERS FOR A SPARK-IGNITION ENGINE

This paper describes the possibility of controlling injection and ignition parameters of a spark-ignition engine performed with the author’s controller. The modification of output signals according to given parameters of the interface is shown in this article. Simulations, supported by oscilloscope graphs, were performed using the controller designed to work with four-cylinder spark-ignition engine. This device allows modifying the ignition and injection parameters depending on the values entered in the author’s interface on the PC. This interface enables a serial transmission through a RS 232 serial port and sending data to the microcontroller. The controller allows for a measurement of the values of the sensors and a generation of output signals for the actuators. The simulation done in this work involves the modification of injection and ignition angle parameters: ignition angle of advance (KWZ), injection angle of advance (KWW) and time parameters: time of injection (KW), time of ignition (KZ). Also shown in this article are possibilities of adapting the controller of the spark-ignition engine to a simultaneous, batched and sequential injection mode.
