Abstract

A method and a device for controlling processes in conjunction with an internal combustion engine having at least two combustion chambers, where control functions are executed by at least one processor, and the program code on which the control functions are based can be stored in at least one memory. At least one data record is assigned to the program code, and the control functions are implemented as a link between the program code and the at least one data record. The combustion chambers are grouped in at least two engine banks for control purposes, and one data record is assigned to each engine bank individually. The respective data record for implementing the control functions is selected as a function of the respective engine bank to be controlled. Thus, the data record is switched as a function of the engine bank.
