Abstract
A method for controlling and/or regulating an exhaust gas turbocharger of an internal combustion engine, the exhaust gas turbocharger being protected against an exceeding of a maximum rotational speed, an actual boost pressure being compared with a setpoint boost pressure. The risk of a maximum rotational speed of the exhaust gas turbocharger being exceeded is prevented in that a manipulated variable assigned to the exhaust gas turbocharger is compared with a manipulated variable limit characteristic and is limited, if necessary, the manipulated variable limit characteristic having a time-limited, first portion and a chronologically subsequent, second portion following a change in the setpoint boost pressure, the first portion ending after a predetermined target time, the second portion of the manipulated variable limit characteristic being reduced with respect to the first portion in such a way that the maximum rotational speed of the exhaust gas turbocharger is not reached.
