An electric set of points for determining and changing the conveying path of object carriers, which are entrained in movement by a conveying means of a conveying device, having a rotatably mounted pivot angle definition element, and a shaft connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the pivot angle definition element, a points arm connected to the shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, which points arm protrudes into the conveying path and defines the same for the object carriers, the points arm being the component of the set of points, which protrudes into the conveying device and defines the same for the object carriers, one or more sensors for determining a first pivot position and a second pivot position of the pivot angle definition element, the first pivot position and the second pivot position differing from one another by a first pivot angle difference of greater than zero, the pivot angle definition element having a first detection point assigned to the first pivot position and a second detection point assigned to the second pivot position; the detection points being detected by the sensor(s) and the reaching of the desired pivot position being determined as a result, the shaft connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the pivot angle definition element being arranged with a third pivot position assigned to a first conveying path of the object carriers and a fourth pivot position assigned to a second conveying path of the object carriers, the third pivot position and the fourth pivot position differing from one another by a second pivot angle difference of greater than zero, the second pivot angle difference being greater than the first pivot angle difference, characterized in that the set of points has a separate control device, and the set of points is suitable for carrying out the following steps of the method for the self training of the set of points: - pivoting the points arm of the set of points by means of an electric drive in the direction of a desired points end position, - detecting the reaching of a defined pivot position (35, 36) of the pivot angle definition element of the set of points by means of one of the one or more sensors with the delivery of a signal to the control device, - continued pivoting of the points arm in the direction of the desired points end position for a defined time or a defined path, - pivoting the points arm in the opposite direction until the pivot position (35, 36) of the pivot angle definition element has been reached again, wherein the path travelled in the meantime is determined and saved as calibration path, wherein the determined path is saved in a memory of the control device as calibration path. - pivoting the points arm of the set of points by means of an electric drive in the direction of a desired points end position, - detecting the reaching of a defined pivot position (35, 36) of the pivot angle definition element of the set of points by means of one of the one or more sensors with the delivery of a signal to the control device, - continued pivoting of the points arm in the direction of the desired points end position for a defined time or a defined path, - pivoting the points arm in the opposite direction until the pivot position (35, 36) of the pivot angle definition element has been reached again, wherein the path travelled in the meantime is determined and saved as calibration path,
