VEHICLE CONTROL AND DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering; vehicle units and mechanisms automatic control and diagnostic systems. SUBSTANCE: proposed invention provides building up vehicle units and mechanisms complex control system on basis of control and diagnostic information for organizing self-teaching and robotized (adaptive) vehicle control systems. Proposed system employs central aboard controller and local logic device furnished with multiplexer diagnostic data unit to control and diagnosing functioning of control object. First input of multiplexer unit is connected with output of central aboard controller connected through storage unit with one of summer control signal inputs. Second input of multiplexer unit is connected with summer information signal output, and its output is connected with one of inputs of central aboard controller. Control object condition pickups are made analog to form control object condition signals and discrete to form critical and current condition signals. Analog pickups and discrete pickups forming critical condition signal are connected, respectively, with two other inputs of central aboard controller. Discrete pickups forming current and critical condition signals are connected with corresponding input of summer of local logic unit. EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities. 10 cl, 5 dwg
