Introduction:

Model is designed to simulate the operation of the engine control system. It consists of engine, sensors, actuators, fault simulator and engine control unit. The engine control unit(ECU) is the central control element for an engine. The ECU obtains all the necessary information by means of sensors( Intake air, temperature, knock…). It utilises the IPO model (input-process-output) to assess incoming data and then send out signals to operate the appropriate actuators. It is essential for students to understand not only individual components but also the complex control loops, diagnostic system and so on…
