Method for controlling a drive device of a construction machine

A method of controlling a drive device of a construction machine with a split transmission, which, on an input side, is coupled with at least a drive force source and, on an output side, is coupled with a driving range change transmission, to set at least two shiftable drive ranges, the method comprising:

• detecting drive dynamic requirements for operation of the construction machine during a detecting step,
• determining if a drive dynamic requirement with increased drive dynamic is present during a determination step,
• if a determination that the drive dynamic requirement with increased drive dynamic is present, executing a shifting step which shifts the driving range change transmission from a second, of the at least two drive ranges, to a first, of the at least two drive ranges, to achieve the increased drive dynamic of the construction machine, and
• upon determining, during the determination step, that the drive dynamic requirement with increased drive dynamic is present, controlling a rotational speed of the drive force source such that the rotational speed does not fall below a rotational speed limit.
