Method for operating a planar drive system and planar drive system

A planar drive system comprising:

• a stator,
• a plurality of rotors, and
• a main controller;
• wherein the stator comprises a plurality of energizable stator conductors,
• wherein the main controller is configured to control an energizing of the stator conductors of the stator,
• wherein each rotor comprises a magnet device having at least one rotor magnet,
• wherein a magnetic interaction is producible between the energized stator conductors of the stator and the magnet devices of the rotors in order to drive the rotors,
• wherein at least one individual rotor identifier is assigned to each rotor, and
• wherein the planar drive system is configured to carry out an identification of the rotors by providing position information of the rotors and rotor identifiers of the rotors and linking the provided position information of the rotors to the provided rotor identifiers of the rotors via the main controller.
