Electronic control device
First Claim
1. An electronic control device suitable for controlling operation of a variety of autoignition reciprocating internal combustion engines used to power various equipment, said engines being of the type wherein fuel is delivered to at least one combustion chamber by use of an injection valve and an injection pump, the injection pump having a control rod by displacement of which the fuel injection quantity is changeable and a control rod actuator, said electronic control device comprising:
- an electronic control unit having inputs adapted for connection with engine operational sensors, service pickup and manual controls, at least one output connectable to a visual display and an output connected in controlling relation to said control rod actuator, said electronic control device being programed to control operation of a variety of engines and to control said engines in a variety of power supplying applications of said engines, said electronic control unit including stored engine torque curves for various engines and various power supplying applications of said engines andcontrol means for causing said electronic control unit to select the appropriate torque curve for a selected engine and a selected power supplying application.

Abstract
Electronic control device for single-cylinder or multicylinder autoignition reciprocating internal combustion engines/motors, wherein fuel is suppliable to the given combustion space by use of an injection valve and an injection pump, the injection pump exhibiting a control rod by displacement of which the fuel injection quantity is changeable, an actuator controlled by a control unit further engaging with the control rod, and the control unit being in operative connection with engine sensors, pickups and/or further actuators and, if and to the extent provided, with service (e.g., vehicle) pickups and/or displays and/or controls and/or actuators via inputs and outputs. The representation of a modular concept with a wide range of variation is to are changeable via the number and/or the allocation and/or the signal mode of the inputs and/or outputs.
