Abstract: Diesel engines are controlled with Engine Control Unit (ECU) to provide flexibility on injection schemes mostly in support of lower emission targets. Research on diesel engines requires programmable ECU to allow experimental investigation of the effects of varying diesel injection and other parameters such as Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). The development of a programmable ECU for common rail diesel engines is discussed in this paper. The control strategy used in the programmable ECU is detailed. Experimental data on flowrates of the solenoid type diesel injectors is given and discussed. Experimental performance data from the loaded engine controlled with the programmable ECU and using the outlined strategy is also given and discussed. The tested control scheme is an extension to the control scheme typically used on gasoline engine, also known as speed-density control. The ECU is also a development on a programmable gasoline ECU with the addition of an external power module.
