Abstract
A control device for an internal combustion engine includes: a primary control module and a secondary control module, the primary control module determining a setpoint specification for the secondary control module, the secondary control module being configured for determining a control specification for controlling an actuator depending on the setpoint specification, a determination module of the primary control module determining the setpoint specification via a model-based predictive control method taking into account a prediction horizon based on a physical time constant of the secondary control module, an operator interface of the primary control module receiving a temporal specification parameter trajectory for at least one specification parameter specified by an operator or an operator device, the determination module determining the setpoint specification depending on the temporal specification parameter trajectory—which has been received—via the model-based predictive control method by evaluating the temporal specification parameter trajectory for the prediction horizon.
