Abstract
A device and a method for controlling fuel metering into an internal combustion engine are described. A fuel injection unit meters fuel to the engine as a function of at least a first trigger signal and a second trigger signal. The first trigger signal controls the start and the end of fuel metering, and the second trigger signal controls the fuel pressure buildup. The first trigger signal is predefined on the basis of signals which characterize the amount of fuel to be injected, the start of fuel metering, and the fuel pressure at the start of fuel metering.
Claims4
A method of controlling a fuel metering into an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- causing a fuel injection unit to meter a fuel to the internal combustion engine as a function of at least a first trigger signal and a second trigger signal, the first trigger signal controlling a start and an end of the fuel metering, and the second trigger signal controlling a fuel pressure buildup;
- and
- predefining the first trigger signal on the basis of a first signal that characterizes an amount of the fuel to be injected, a second signal that characterizes the start of the fuel metering, and a third signal that characterizes a fuel pressure at the start of the fuel metering.
