Design of Mechatronic System Specified for Feedback Required in Development of Combustion Engines

The main purpose of this article is presentation of a principle together with description of a mechatronic system, which enables to obtain a required feedback during developing process of piston combustion engines. This system is monitoring in on-line regime the output and operational parameters of combustion engines. It is sensing and recording information on real conditions, during standard engine loading. The described system is able to diagnose engine power output and engine torque, together with time behaviours of them, as well as temperature of engine exhaust system and its time behaviour, detonations and their frequency and other characteristics, too. Number and kind of sensing parameters depends on kind and number of installed sensors in the given engine.
