Drive arrangement for motor-operated adjustment of a closure element in a motor vehicle

A drive arrangement for motor-operated adjustment of a closure element in a motor vehicle, the drive arrangement comprising:

• two drives, wherein each drive comprises a respective drive motor;
• and
• a drive controller;
• wherein a closure element can be driven in a motor-operated adjustment mode by the drive motors, in a closing direction and in an opening direction, between a closed position and an open position;
• wherein the two drives are of non-self-locking design, wherein each of the two drives has a respective sensor for sensing drive movement;
• wherein the drive controller monitors signals from the sensors, correlates the signals from the sensors with one another, and detects a fault state based on the result of the correlating of the signals, the fault state comprising one of the two drives being disengaged from the closure element;
• and
• wherein upon detecting the fault state, the drive controller initiates a selected mode comprising an emergency braking mode, an emergency stop mode, or a combination of the emergency braking mode and the emergency stop mode.
