The method involves comparing a set point and an actual value of a mass flow of fresh air and/or a mass flow of recycled exhaust gas using a regulator for predefining a controlled variable for an actuator. The actuator determines the mass flow of fresh air supplying an internal combustion engine (100) and the mass flow of recycled exhaust gas. The variable is combined with a preset control value f...

The process involves predefining a control variable for one actuator, influencing mass flow of fresh air supplying an internal combustion engine, by comparing a set point and an actual value of the mass output of fresh air. A control variable for an actuator, influencing mass flow of exhaust gas, is predefined by comparing another set point and an actual value of the mass output of exhaust gas. An...
