Abstract
A method of operating a chain drive that includes sprockets. Tensile chain moments on the sprockets are determined and a specification value for operating the chain drive is determined therefrom in an automated manner. A corresponding assembly has a chain drive with sprockets and with a control device at least partly associated with the chain drive. The control device is configured for carrying out the method and a specification value for load distribution among the two drives for operating the chain drive is determined therefrom in an automated manner.
