Abstract
In a device for regulating the power output of an electrical generator in motor vehicles having an internal combustion engine, in which the generator has a regulator unit, which prevents exceeding at least one limiting temperature by regulation, the regulator unit is connected via a bidirectional interface to an electronic control unit assigned to the internal combustion engine. The control unit and the regulator unit are designed in such a way that the regulator unit, after transmitting at least one value relevant to the limiting temperature from the control unit to the regulator unit, stores the particular applicable limiting temperature determined by this value.

A device for regulating output power of an electrical generator in a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine, in which the generator has a regulator unit, which prevents exceeding at least one limiting temperature by regulation, wherein the regulator unit is connected via a bidirectional interface to an electronic control unit assigned to the internal combustion engine, and the control unit and the regulator unit are designed in such a way that the regulator unit, after transmitting at least one value related to the limiting temperature from the control unit to the regulator unit, stores a particular applicable limiting temperature determined by the at least one value.
A device for regulating output power of an electrical generator in a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- a regulator unit configured to prevent exceeding at least one limiting temperature by regulation;
- and
- a bidirectional interface connecting the regulator unit to an electronic control unit assigned to the internal combustion engine,
- wherein, after transmission of at least one value related to the limiting temperature from the control unit to the regulator unit, the regulator unit stores a particular applicable limiting temperature determined by the at least one value.
A method for regulating output power of an electrical generator in a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine, comprising the acts of:
- transmitting at least one value related to at least one limiting temperature from a control unit to a regulator unit;
- determining a first limiting temperature, based upon the at least one value;
- storing the first limiting temperature in the regulator unit;
- and
- preventing the first limiting temperature from being exceeded by regulating the output power of the generator.
