Control systems and methods for controlling an engine. The control system includes a computation module and an input/output (I/O) module attached to the engine. The computation module is located in an area of the engine, or off-engine, that provides a more benign environment than the environment that the I/O module is subject to during operation of the engine. The I/O module includes a first processor and a first network interface device. The computation module includes a second processor with higher processing power than the first processor, and a second network interface device. The control system also includes a sensor configured to provide sensor readings to the first processor. The first processor transmits data based on the sensor readings to the second processor. The control system also includes an actuator operably coupled to the I/O module and that is controlled by the first processor based on commands from the second processor.

A system of controlling ammonia levels in a catalytic exhaust system comprising: means to provide a target value for ammonia slip/ammonia output from said system or a catalytic unit of said system; first comparison means to compare said target value with a feedback value to provide a command value based on said comparison, and means to control the dosing of a reducing agent such as urea into said exhaust system based on said command value; means to input said command value to a transfer function or model to provide an estimated value of ammonia slip/ammonia output from said catalytic unit/system; means to measure actual ammonia slip/ammonia output from said unit/system; second comparison means to compare said actual value with said estimated value; means to provide said feedback value based on the output from said comparison means.

A system for monitoring a technical device. The system has a capturing means for reading in a first visual representation containing information regarding a setting parameter and/or a measurement parameter of a controller to control the technical device. The setting parameter and/or the measurement parameter characterizes a state of the technical device. The system may have a scanning means for detecting a symbol in the visual representation; a database for associating the setting parameter and/or the measurement parameter with the detected symbol; an interface to the controller to capture a value of the setting parameter and/or of the measurement parameter of the controller; and an image generation means for generating a second visual representation coupled to the controller such that information of the setting parameter and/or the measurement parameter is displayed with the first visual representation. The system has an image display means for presenting the generated second visual representation.

Disclosed is a method for processing position data of an automotive vehicle motor, implemented by a multi-core electronic computer including: a software module for the production of data of angular position of the motor, and at least one software module for driving the motor as a function of the angular position data. The method includes a step of deactivation of each drive module by the module for the production of angular position data, followed by a step of activation of each drive module by the production module. In the course of the deactivation step, the production module dispatches to each drive module a deactivation command, and then a request for confirmation that each drive module is deactivated, and the step of activation of the drive modules is implemented only when the deactivation of all the drive modules has been confirmed to the production module.

An objective-driven system for blade tip clearance control may comprise a BOAS and a controller in operable communication with the BOAS. A tangible, non-transitory memory may be configured to communicate with the controller, the tangible, non-transitory memory may have instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the controller, cause the controller to perform operations comprising receiving an operating objective definition, and modulating a location of the BOAS using an optimization loop comprising the operating objective definition, input vector variables, and output vector variables driven by the input vector variables.

A control device for an internal combustion engine includes at least one processor and a memory configured to store a program. The at least one processor is configured to execute, by executing the program, a process of deciding a manipulated variable of the internal combustion engine from a control input value, in accordance with a predetermined conversion rule, a process of calculating a sample value of the controlled variable, a process of calculating a reference expectation value of the controlled variable from the control input value, a process of performing a hypothesis test for a null hypothesis that an average value of a predetermined number of recent sample values of sample values of the controlled variable is equal to the reference expectation value, and a process of modifying the conversion rule by an adaptive control when the null hypothesis is rejected.
