The present invention comprises a method for controlling a floor conveyor device for conveying a loaded or unloaded load carrier (16), having two controllable conveying units (12a, 12b) which can be moved independently of one another, wherein each conveying unit (12a, 12b) comprises: - a
chassis, - at least one drive
system (30) which drives at least one floor roller of the conveying unit (12a, 12b), - at least one carrying element (18) for supporting the load carrier (16), - a
control system (1), and - a
sensor system (25; 40-43) for detecting environmental parameters, which
sensor system is coupled or connected to the
control system (1), wherein each conveying unit (12a, 12b) can be moved relative to the respective other conveying unit (12a, 12b) and independently of the respective other conveying unit (12a, 12b) along any desired direction of travel, and the conveying units (12a, 12b) can interact in order to convey a load carrier (16), wherein the conveying units (12a, 12b) are coupled to one another in control terms in order to carry out synchronized movements, wherein a
control system (1a) of the first conveying unit (12a) controls the first conveying unit (12a) and the second conveying unit (12b) so that both conveying units (12a, 12b) can carry out synchronized movements, wherein the control
system (1b) of the second conveying unit (12b) takes over the control of the first conveying unit (12a) and the control of the second conveying unit (12b) if the
sensor system (25; 42, 43) of the second conveying unit (12b) reports safety-
relevant information and / or detects damage to a safety protection zone and / or if there is an emergency
stop signal at the second conveying unit (12b).
