Method for controlling an execution of functions during the operation of an internal combustion engine

A method for controlling a sequence of at least one function during operation of an internal combustion engine, wherein the internal combustion engine has a plurality of combustion chambers, each of the combustion chambers being partially arranged in a combustion chamber housing or cylinder, and wherein a respective injector is allocated to each of the combustion chambers, the respective injectors being supplied with fuel from a fuel accumulator, the method comprising:

• for a group of a plurality of the combustion chambers, and for the injectors allocated to the group of the plurality of the combustion chambers, initiating at least one execution of a function, with which, from an actuation property, at least one sequence of properties of at least one injector of the group is to be determined;
• assigning, for the group of the plurality of combustion chambers, only one function for recognizing a state of the fuel accumulator, in order to allocate the at least one sequence of properties of the at least one injector to a specific injector of a specific combustion chamber of the group.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for controlling a sequence of at least one function during operation of an internal combustion engine, wherein the internal combustion engine has a plurality of combustion chambers, each of the combustion chambers being partially arranged in a combustion chamber housing or cylinder, and wherein a respective injector is allocated to each of the combustion chamber, the respective injectors being supplied with fuel from a fuel accumulator, the computer program, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform the following steps comprising:

• for a group of a plurality of the combustion chambers, and for the injectors allocated to the group of the plurality of the combustion chambers, initiating at least one execution of a function, with which, from an actuation property, at least one sequence of properties of at least one injector of the group is to be determined;
• assigning, for the group of the plurality of combustion chambers, only one function for recognizing a state of the fuel accumulator, in order to allocate the at least one sequence of properties of the at least one injector to a specific injector of a specific combustion chamber of the group.

A control unit configured to control a sequence of at least one function during operation of an internal combustion engine, wherein the internal combustion engine has a plurality of combustion chambers, each of the combustion chambers being partially arranged in a combustion chamber housing or cylinder, and wherein a respective injector is allocated to each of the combustion chamber, the respective injectors being supplied with fuel from a fuel accumulator, the control unit configured to perform the following steps comprising:

• for a group of a plurality of the combustion chambers, and for the injectors allocated to the group of the plurality of the combustion chambers, initiating at least one execution of a function, with which, from an actuation property, at least one sequence of properties of at least one injector of the group is to be determined;
• assigning, for the group of the plurality of combustion chambers, only one function for recognizing a state of the fuel accumulator, in order to allocate the at least one sequence of properties of the at least one injector to a specific injector of a specific combustion chamber of the group.
