    Abstract: A method for controlling a filling level of an exhaust gas component accumulator of a catalytic converter in the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine where an actual filling level of the accumulator is determined with a first catalytic converter model. The method includes forming a lambda setpoint is formed, wherein a predetermined target fill level is converted into a base lambda setpoint via a second system model reverse of the first catalytic converter model, a deviation of the actual fill level from the predetermined target fill level is determined and processed to a lambda setpoint correction value via a fill level control unit, a sum of the base lambda setpoint value and the lambda setpoint value correction value is formed, and said sum is used to form a correction value, with which fuel metering to at least one combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine is influenced.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a filling level of an exhaust gas component accumulator of a catalytic converter (26) in the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine (10), in which an actual filling level (θmod) of the exhaust gas component accumulator is determined with a first catalytic converter model (100). The method is characterized in that a lambda setpoint (λin,set) is formed, wherein a predetermined target fill level (θset,flt) is converted into a base lambda setpoint by means of a second system model (104) which is the reverse of the first catalytic converter model (100), a deviation of the actual fill level (θmod) from the predetermined target fill level (θset,flt) is determined and processed to a lambda setpoint correction value by means of a fill level control unit (124), a sum of the base lambda setpoint value and the lambda setpoint value correction value is formed, and said sum is used to form a correction value, with which fuel metering to at least one combustion chamber (20) of the internal combustion engine (10) is influenced.

    Abstract: A method for regulating filling an exhaust gas component (EGC) storage of a catalytic converter (CC) in the exhaust gas (EG) of an internal combustion engine. An actual fill level (AFL) of the EGC storage is ascertained using a first system model (FSM), to which signals of a first EG sensor projecting into the EG flow upstream from the CC and detecting a concentration of the EGC and a second EG sensor, downstream from the CC and exposed to the EG, are fed. A base lambda setpoint value for a first control loop (CL) is predefined by a second CL, which is adjusted to the AFL using the AFL ascertained using the FSM when the voltage of the second EG sensor indicates a breakthrough of rich/lean EG downstream from the CC and an excessively low/high AFL of the EGC storage. Also described is a control unit to perform the method.

    Abstract: A device and method for controlling an internal combustion engine having a catalytic converter. At least one actuating variable for the internal combustion engine is determined as a function of a system model of the catalytic converter and/or the internal combustion engine. The system model, a setpoint variable for the control and/or the actuating variable is adapted. Information about a modeled residual oxygen content in the exhaust gas downstream from the catalytic converter is determined using the system model. Information about an acquired residual oxygen content in the exhaust gas at the output of the catalytic converter is acquired. The information about the modeled residual oxygen content is compared with the information about the acquired residual oxygen content. A measure for an adaptation requirement is determined as a function of the result of the comparison.

    Abstract: A method for regulating a filling of an exhaust gas component reservoir of a catalytic converter in the exhaust of an internal combustion engine. An actual fill level of the exhaust gas component reservoir is ascertained using a first system model, and in which a baseline lambda setpoint for a first control loop is predefined by a second control loop in which an initial value for the baseline lambda setpoint is converted, by a second system model identical to the first system model, into a fictitious fill level; the fictitious fill level is compared with a setpoint for the fill level; and the baseline lambda setpoint is iteratively modified as a function of the comparison result. At the beginning of a coasting phase, the baseline lambda setpoint is calculated based on signals of sensors and control variables which relate to the delivery of air and/or fuel to combustion chambers.
