Patent ID: 7325532

Claim:
A method for torque-oriented control of an internal combustion engine, comprising the steps of: calculating a sum torque (MSUM) from a set torque value (MSW) and a friction torque (MF); calculating a set injection quantity (mSL) for driving the internal combustion engine from the sum torque (MSUM) and an actual rpm value (nIST) using an efficiency map (WKF); calculating the set torque value (MSW) by way of an rpm controller with at least PI behavior from an rpm control deviation (e) between a set rpm value (nSL) and the actual rpm value (nIST); and limiting an I component of the rpm controller to a lower limit value (uGW), which is determined as a function of the friction torque (MF) (uGW=f(MF)).
