Abstract
The main objective of this paper was to conceive a new electronic control circuit to the throttle device. The throttle mechanical actuator is the most important part in an automotive gasoline engine. Among the different control strategies recently reported, an easy to implement control scheme is an open research topic in the analog electronic engineering field. Hence, we propose using the nonlinear dwell switching control theory for an analog electronic control unit, to manipulate an automotive throttle plate. Due to the switching mechanism commuting between a stable and an unstable controllers, the resultant closed-loop system is robust enough to the control objective. This fact is experimentally evidenced. The proposed electronic controller uses operational amplifiers along with an Arduino unit. This unit is just employed to generate the related switching signal that can be replaced by using, for instance, the timer IC555. Thus, this study is a contribution on design and realization of an electronic control circuit to the throttle device.
Highlights
There are many engineering systems involving sequence on time switching actions, or a switching-rule, among a finite set of given controllers
The resultant closed-loop system is a kind of a switched system [1,2,3,4]
A switched system may be interpreted as a hybrid dynamical system where the switching-rule mandates the continuous-time subsystem to be activated from a set of stated subsystems
Summary
There are many engineering systems involving sequence on time switching actions, or a switching-rule, among a finite set of given controllers. The resultant closed-loop system is a kind of a switched system [1,2,3,4]. A switched system may be interpreted as a hybrid dynamical system where the switching-rule mandates the continuous-time subsystem to be activated from a set of stated subsystems. This set of subsystems may contain the resultant closed-loop schemes obtained by invoking a set of granted controllers. For instance, a linear closed-loop and switched system can be represented by [1,3]:
