CONTROLLER FOR INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

This invention relates to a control apparatus for an internal combustion engine, and is intended to accurately incorporate demands related to various capabilities of the internal combustion engine, into operation of actuators, thereby enabling these demands to be achieved appropriately. A demand output unit 10 outputs various capability demands of the internal combustion engine, expressed in terms of either torque, efficiency, or an air-fuel ratio data. A torque mediation unit 22 collects, of the plurality of demand values that have been output from the demand output unit 10, only the demand values expressed in terms of torque, and mediates the torque demand values into one. An efficiency mediation unit 24 collects the demand values expressed in terms of efficiency and mediates the efficiency demand values into one. An air-fuel ratio mediation unit 26 collects the demand values expressed in terms of the air-fuel ratio and mediates the air-fuel ratio demand values into one. A control variable computing unit 30 computes control variables of the actuators 42, 44, and 46, based upon the torque demand value, efficiency demand value, and air-fuel ratio demand value output from the mediation units 22, 24, and 26, respectively.
