Abstract
A method is provided for synchronizing drive combinations having a plurality of drives for machines. The drives include at least one master drive and a plurality of slave drives assigned to the master drive. A central control unit is provided, as well as controls for each of the drives, including data processing and storage equipment. The slave drives are synchronized with respect to at least one of rotational speed and angular setting as prescribed by the master drive. The steps of the method, depending upon operating values of the master drive, include determining at least one synchronization function for each of the slave drives, determining master-synchronous operating values for each operating time for the respective slave drive with the synchronization function, and prescribing the determined operating values for the respective drive. A device for performing the method is also provided.
