Development of the Electronic Control System for Air-Powered Engine

Abstract

To improve the performances of air-powered engine (APE) used on the pneumatic and its hybrid vehicles, the electronic control system of APE was developed based on the single-chip microcontroller. The design process of hardware and software subsystem of the electronic control system was put forward according to the characteristics of APE and the resources of XC886 chip. The evaluation test was conducted to validate the electronic control system of APE. The experimental results show the control system can function well under any given conditions.
