Abstract

A method and a device for controlling an internal combustion engine. In a first operating mode, a fuel quantity is predefined according to a first rule for calculating the quantity based on at least the torque variable. In a second operating mode, the fuel quantity is predefined according to a second rule for calculating the quantity based on at least the torque variable. A control variable is predefined on the basis of at least the torque variable.

Claims (12)

1. A method for controlling an internal combustion engine, comprising:

predefining a fuel quantity in a first operating mode according to a first rule for calculating the quantity on the basis of at least a torque variable;

predefining the fuel quantity in a second operating mode according to a second rule for calculating the quantity on the basis of at least the torque variable; and

predefining a control variable on the basis of at least the torque variable.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the first operating mode the control variable is predefined according to a first rule for calculating the control variable on the basis of at least the torque variable, and in the second operating mode the control variable is predefined according to a second rule for calculating the control variable.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the first operating mode, an additional control variable is predefined according to a third rule for calculating the additional control variable on the basis of at least the fuel quantity, and in the second operating mode the additional control variable is predefined according to a fourth rule for calculating the additional control variable.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the control variable is a function of an operating point of the internal combustion engine.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the operating point of the internal combustion engine is defined by at least a driver input.

6. A device for controlling an internal combustion engine, comprising:

a first input arrangement for predefining, in a first operating mode, a fuel quantity according to a first rule for calculating the quantity on the basis of at least a torque variable;

a second input arrangement for predefining, in a second operating mode, the fuel quantity according to a second rule for calculating the quantity on the basis of at least the torque variable; and

a third input arrangement for predefining a control variable on the basis of at least the torque variable.
