Abstract: A method for regulating a reel changer of a web-fed press includes having a current controller and a rotational speed controller connected to the current controller as a cascade control, and a position controller for positioning a dancer roller connected to the rotational speed controller to effect a further cascade. The method includes deactivating the position controller of the dancer roll and feeding a differentiated set point of the rotational speed controller to the output variable of the rotational speed controller as a feedforward control component during a reel change and, after the reel change has been performed, activating the position controller of the dancer roll and feeding a differentiated actual value of the position controller to the output variable of the rotational speed controller as a feedforward control component.
