The new control algorithm for the valve timing in camless combustion engine is presented in the article. The magnetoelectric actuators have been used in the valve timing for analyzed popular combustion engine. Each titanium valve has been connected with the coil of actuator. Such coil can move in the magnetic field, generated in magnet circuit containing sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets, the core, pole shoes and air gaps. The movement of coil can occur when current flows in the coil winds and then electrodynamic force is generated. The nonlinear curves of generated electrodynamic force versus displacement of coil - valve assembly and vs. current in the coil have been computed using FEM method and presented in the article. The new mathematical model has been elaborated to calculate valve lift vs. coil lift for different coil currents and dynamic parameters of the coil. The values of current in coil should be controlled by the elaborated algorithm with the feedback. This algorithm has been based on tracing of position points of valve, during valve movement. The modelled course of valve lift vs. time has been first elaborated, for the needed rpm of engine. Next the first approximated current pulse train has been generated, the movement of the coil - valve assembly could be obtained. The calculated position of valve has been compared with the valve position from modelled course of valve lift vs. time. Basing on obtained difference of valve lift, the next current pulse train has been corrected in such a way, to obtain in any moment the closest position of valve to the one from modelled course. The obtained courses of valve lift vs. time for different modelled courses of valve lift vs. time and vs. rpm of engine have been presented in the article.
