An operating table and a method for an operating table are disclosed. The operating table has an adjustable component, a drive device that adjusts the adjustable component, and a first sensor that detects a position of the adjustable component. The operating table also has a second sensor that detects the position of the adjustable component and a controller that controls the drive device. The controller operates in a first operating mode and a second operating mode. In the first operating mode of the controller, the first sensor is activated and the drive device is energized. In the second operating mode of the controller, the second sensor is activated and the drive device is de-energized The controller changes from the second operating mode to the first operating mode when the second sensor detects a change of the position of the adjustable component.

Operating table and method for controlling an operating table

A device for controlling an operating table is disclosed. The device has a controller that controls a traction drive device that moves the operating table. The device also has at least one control element disposed on the controller. The traction drive device moves the operating table from a stopped state to a first speed based on a first actuation of the at least one control element. The traction drive device increases the operating table speed from the first speed to a second speed based on the first actuation of the at least one control element being interrupted for a first time period that is shorter than a first interruption time period and based on a double actuation of the at least one control element.
