First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling the speed of an internal combustion engine, comprising steps of:
- measuring speed of the internal combustion engine and forming a control signal as a response to the measurement and a set speed reference value,wherein the method also comprises a step of forming an internal speed reference value by utilizing the control signal, for using when forming the control signal, the step of forming the internal speed reference value comprising a function to subtract from the set reference value a subtraction part that depends on the value of the control signal, which subtraction part is arranged to be formed by multiplying the set speed reference value, the control signal value and a coefficient.
