Patent ID: 8005600

Claim:
A method for controlling a drive system, which has at least one drive unit ( 17 , 18 ) for an element ( 13 , 14 ) to be driven, comprising: specifying a desired value (n des,R ; n des,L ) of an output parameter as well as a power limit value (P + ; P − ) for the drive unit ( 17 ; 18 ); providing by a control circuit in dependence on the specified desired value (n des,R ; n des,L ) of the output parameter and of the specified power limit value (P + ; P − ) at least one actuating signal (I) for the drive unit ( 17 ; 18 ); and reducing by a control module the specified power limit value (P + ; P − ) in dependence on a matching of the specified desired value (n des,R ; n des,L ) of the output parameter with a current actual value of said output parameter, wherein the output parameter is at least one of an output speed of the drive unit and a speed of a wheel to be driven.
