Abstract: A laundry device has a drive system. The drive system contains a plurality of actuators for executing synchronized adjusting actions, a plurality of decentralized control modules assigned to the respective actuators and are connected to one another via a data bus, and a central controller for controlling the actuators via the data bus and the decentralized control modules. The central controller is configured to send a preconditioning message with information relating to preconditioning an adjusting action of at least one portion of the actuators via the data bus to the decentralized control modules. The central controller or one of the decentralized control modules is configured to send a trigger signal to the decentralized control modules via a trigger line after the sending of the preconditioning message. The trigger signal prompts the decentralized control modules to control the actuators in a temporally synchronized manner according to the preconditioned adjusting action.
