Abstract
A control system for an internal combustion engine which has a driving-pedal position transducer, a subsequent performance graph apparatus for control values and a control device responding to these values. A delay element is provided in series with the performance graft apparatus between the driving-pedal position transducer and the control device. The purpose of the control system is to adapt the mode of response of the control device (a throttle valve, for instance, in an Otto engine or the regulator rod in a Diesel engine) to various operational states. Of special significance are rpm, the position of the driving pedal, and the change in driving-pedal position. The proposed system is efficaciously realized by means of a computer.
