Abstract
Described is a method for controlling an internal combustion engine, wherein an ignition control device is prompted by control signals of an engine control device to activate an ignition device by means of which an ignition of a fuel-air mixture in a cylinder of the internal combustion engine is affected. It is provided according to this disclosure, that the engine control device communicates a target ignition angle or information about an operating condition of the internal combustion engine to the ignition control device, and the ignition control device sets an operating parameter of the ignition device in dependence on the target ignition angle or the information about the operating condition of the internal combustion engine.

A method for controlling an internal combustion engine in which an engine control device communicates control signals to prompt an ignition control device to activate an ignition device, the activation of the ignition device effecting a fuel-air mixture in a cylinder of the internal combustion engine, the method comprising:
- the engine control device communicating a target ignition angle or information about an operating condition of the internal combustion engine to the ignition control device;
- and
- the ignition control device setting an operating parameter of the ignition device as a function of the target ignition angle or as a function of the information about the operating condition of the internal combustion engine.
