Diesel engine, especially large diesel engine, with an electronic control system

摘要

Diesel engine, especially a large diesel engine, comprises an electronic control system (1) and several cylinders. Each cylinder is assigned to a module (10, 10', 10'', 10''') of the control system. Each of these control modules has an identically designed logic circuit with a first and a second functional part region (11, 12). The cylinder is controlled by the first functional part region. The global functions are influenced by a control device spread over the modules so that for at least one part of the module with the second functional part region interacting with second functional part regions of the other modules the global engine control is carried out in a redundant manner. In the event of an error, because of the redundancy at least one part of the engine output is maintained.
