Abstract

An arrangement for the detection of speed signals of a control device controlling the fuel feed in an internal combustion engine is suggested, in which an (inductive) pulse generator is used in connection with a tested sensing arrangement. The point in time of the detection of the speed signal is freely controllable within a crankshaft and/or camshaft revolution. A minimization of the time interval between the signal detection and the output of the output signals dependent on the speed signals is accordingly achieved. In this way, the phase rotation in the control circuit is minimized and the dynamic behavior is accordingly decisively improved.
