Abstract

A master/slave arrangement of an electronic engine control device with an engine identification module. The electronic engine control device controls and regulates the internal combustion machine. The engine identification module includes at least one microprocessor and a memory building block for storing an engine identification as well as engine specifics. The electronic engine control device and the engine identification module exchange data through an engine cable harness. The engine identification module is arranged inseparably at the crank housing of the internal combustion machine. The engine identification module can be removed from the crank housing as well as from the engine cable harness only by being destroyed.
