CONTROL APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD

摘要

A control apparatus which is capable of compensating for a control error properly and quickly even under a condition where the control error is temporarily increased e.g. by degradation of reliability of the detection results of reference parameters other than controlled variables, thereby making it possible to ensure a high accuracy of control. An air-fuel ratio controller of the control apparatus calculates modified errors by multiplying e.g. an air-fuel ratio error estimated value by link weight functions, calculates basic local correction values such that the modified errors become equal to 0; calculates local correction values by multiplying the basic local correction values and the like by the link weight functions; calculates corrected valve lift by adding a lift correction value, which is the total sum of the local correction values, to a value of valve lift; calculates a first estimated intake air amount for feedforward control of an air-fuel ratio, based on the corrected valve lift; calculates an air-fuel ratio correction coefficient for feedback control of the air-fuel ratio; and calculates a fuel injection amount based on these.
