1. A method for carrying out a switchover of a switch from a current switching position to a target switching position by a drive system, the method comprising:
receiving, by the drive system, a switching signal from a control device;
determining, via a feedback signal of a feedback system, at least one value for a first position of a drive shaft of the drive system;
determining, by the control device, a value for a second position of the drive shaft to be moved to, of the switch, on the basis of the target switching position;
ascertaining, by the control device, a difference between the value for the first position and the value for the second position of the drive shaft; and
the control device, depending on the feedback signal, acting on a motor until the value for the second position of the drive shaft is reached.
