Abstract
A method and device including an interface, a memory, and a processor for the control of a fill level of a catalytic converter for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. A setpoint variable is ascertained as a function of an expected operating variable for the fill level, and the expected operating variable is determined as a function of information from at least one further sensor, which acquires information about an operating state of the motor vehicle.

A method for controlling a fill level of a catalytic converter for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- ascertaining a setpoint variable for the fill level as a function of an expected operating variable for the fill level, the expected operating variable being determined as a function of information from at least one sensor which acquires information about an operating state of the motor vehicle;
- and
- controlling the fill level as a function of the ascertained setpoint variable for the fill level.
A device for controlling a fill level of a catalytic converter for an internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- an interface;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor;
- wherein the device is configured to receive information from at least one sensor, and to control the internal combustion engine as a function of a setpoint variable for a fill level, and the memory includes instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- ascertain the setpoint variable for the fill level as a function of an expected operating variable for the fill level, the expected operating variable being determined as a function of information from the at least one sensor which acquires information about an operating state of the motor vehicle;
- and
- control the fill level as a function of the ascertained setpoint variable for the fill level.
