INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE CONTROL APPARATUS

摘要

In control apparatus that controls an internal combustion engine by means of operation of one or more actuators, using specified physical quantities as control quantities for the internal combustion engine, disclosed is the step of switching between setting of the control quantities in accordance with the requested value of the control quantities and setting of the control quantities in accordance with direct instructions to the individual actuators, without generating discontinuity in the actual values of the physical quantities. When there is an operating quantity instruction value that directly designates an operating quantity of an actuator, this operating quantity instruction value is converted to the value of the physical quantity that would be realised by the internal combustion engine in response to this operating quantity instruction value. Changeover of the information that is employed for setting the operating quantity of each actuator is then allowed if the deviation between the physical quantity conversion value obtained by conversion from the operating quantity instruction value and the physical quantity requested value is within a prescribed range.
