Abstract

Method and arrangement for operating an internal combustion engine (10) which can be operated in several modes of operation, especially an internal combustion engine (10) having direct injection (DE) or intake manifold injection (SRE) and with a control apparatus (11). The control apparatus (11) or its software has a plurality of functions (12) and a scheduler (13) for activating the functions (12). Operating modes are assigned to the functions (12) and the functions (12) are activated by the scheduler (13) in dependence upon the assigned modes of operation.
