The signals coming to the control unit

Hall sensor

The disassembled sensor of the Hall of the engine with a working volume of 1,8 l. The major details are integrated system of the Hall (in the case with the socket) and a diaphragm rotor.

Very much simply it is possible to tell: the sensor of the Hall provides inclusion and switching off of current to the ignition coil (a bypass way via the control unit and the terminal cascade). It is called in honor of an opener of effect of the Hall who is used in this sensor.

The sensor of the Hall consists of the following details: from a diaphragm rotor, for example, with four dredging (depending on number of cylinders), a permanent magnet and the direct integrated system of the Hall located opposite to it. All this works as a light lock, only here instead of light work with electromagnetic radiation.

If the diaphragm of a rotor is in an electromagnetic field, the sensor of the Hall starts up current to the control unit. When the diaphragm leaves from an air gap between integrated system of the Hall and a permanent magnet, current does not come to the control unit. These are signals for ignition. The sensor of the Hall settles down:

  • in the 74 kW engine under the distributor;
  • in the 92 kW engine and in the 110 kW four-cylinder engine ahead at the left on a head of the block of cylinders;
  • in the six-cylinder engine behind on the left head of the block of cylinders.

Sensor of number of turns and sensor of the moment of ignition

In addition to the Hall sensor information comes to the control unit from the sensor of number of turns of the engine and the sensor of the moment of ignition (the last only in the six-cylinder engine). Both are so-called induction sensors.

The sensor of number of turns of the engine functions as follows: in the sensor the coil and a magnet are placed. The interfaced detail is formed by gear heights on a gear wreath of a flywheel behind on the crankshaft. Every time when the tooth passes under the sensor, changes a magnetic field of a permanent magnet, and in the coil there is tension. It is enough this small signal in the form of tension for the subsequent processing in the control unit. Available also information on the frequency of rotation of the crankshaft.

To define exact position of the crankshaft, in a certain place on perimeter of a flywheel the steel pin was placed. When the pin passes under the sensor, there is tension peak that is used by the control unit for definition of position of the crankshaft.
