Method and device for controlling a high-pressure fuel pump in an internal combustion engine

A method for controlling a high-pressure pump for injection of fuel into a combustion engine, the high-pressure pump being connected to a camshaft of the combustion engine, the method comprising:

• calculating, and controlling according to the calculation, the high-pressure pump in a camshaft-synchronous manner by ascertaining an angular offset between flank positions of a camshaft pulse-generating wheel and a predefinable point above a bottom dead center of a cam of the high-pressure pump on the camshaft.

A non-transitory machine readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for controlling a high-pressure pump for injection of fuel into a combustion engine, the high-pressure pump being connected to a camshaft of the combustion engine, the computer program, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform:

• calculating, and controlling according to the calculation, the high-pressure pump in a camshaft-synchronous manner by ascertaining an angular offset between flank positions of a camshaft pulse-generating wheel and a predefinable point above a bottom dead center of a cam of the high-pressure pump on the camshaft.

An electronic control unit designed to control a high-pressure pump for injection of fuel into a combustion engine, the electronic control unit designed to control the high-pressure pump in a camshaft-synchronous manner by ascertaining an angular offset between flank positions of a camshaft pulse-generating wheel and a predefinable point above a bottom dead center of a cam of the high-pressure pump on the camshaft.
