A procedure for controlling actuators within an on-board power system, which provides different operating voltages and temporal on-board power voltage changes. The actuator or actuators are controlled with different pulse-width modulated control signals, whereby the pulse-width and the cycle duration of the control signals can be adjusted independent of each other and are adjusted independent of the actually applied on-board power voltage. Control signals for the actuators can be specified by a control unit. The actuator or actuators can be controlled with the aid of the control unit by different pulse-width modulated control signals, whereby the pulse-width and the cycle duration of the control signals can be adjusted independent of each other; and the control unit provides devices for detecting the actually applied on-board power voltage and driver units.
