Abstract

The electronic engine control represents the center for commanding different combustion engine functions. It consists of the electronic control unit (ECU), the sensors and actuators, and the communication system. In the following, a view on the structures of ECU’s and an overview of control components like sensors and actuators and some auxiliary units are given.
