This makes it possible for the thick-matter pump to be able to have only a single drive motor and/or not to need to have a variably settable transmission. In particular, the first drive pump and the second drive pump may be designed for, in particular variable, rotation with a fixed or not variably settable pump-rotational-speed ratio, in particular an equal, in particular variably settable, pump rotational speed. In addition or as an alternative, the first parameter target value, in the form of a first pivot-angle target value, and the second parameter target value, in the form of a second pivot-angle target value, differ from one another if the determined overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate target value is in the at least one overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate-target-value range. Also in addition or as an alternative, the method comprises: delivering the thick matter by means of setting the first pivot angle to the determined first pivot-angle target value and the second pivot angle to the determined second pivot-angle target value. Also in addition or as an alternative, the method may comprise: determining the first parameter target value, in the form of the first pivot-angle target value, and the second parameter target value, in the form of the second pivot-angle target value, in a manner dependent on a motor-rotational-speed value, in particular a motor-rotational-speed actual value, of the drive motor.

The method comprises: delivering the thick matter by means of, in particular automatically, setting the motor rotational speed to the determined motor-rotational-speed target value.
In one configuration of the invention, with increasing overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate target value in a low overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate-target-value range, a first pivot-angle target value for the first pivot angle increases, in particular from a first pivot-angle minimum value, in particular zero, up to a first pivot-angle maximum value and a second pivot-angle target value for the second pivot angle is constant, in particular a second pivot-angle minimum value, in particular zero, in a higher overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate-target-value range, the second pivot-angle target value increases, in particular from the second pivot-angle minimum value, in particular zero, up to a second pivot-angle maximum value, in particular and if the first pivot-angle target value is the first pivot-angle maximum value and the second pivot-angle target value is the second pivot-angle maximum value, and in an even higher overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate-target-value range, the motor-rotational-speed target value increases from a motor-rotational-speed minimum value, in particular greater than zero, up to a motor-rotational-speed maximum value. This makes possible a maximum efficiency of the hydraulic system. In particular, in the low overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate-target-value range and/or the higher overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate-target-value range, the motor-rotational-speed target value may be constant, in particular the motor-rotational-speed minimum value, in particular greater than zero. In addition or as an alternative, the first pivot-angle minimum value and the second pivot-angle minimum value may be equal, and/or the first pivot-angle maximum value and the second pivot-angle maximum value may be equal.

In one configuration of the invention, the second axial piston pump, in particular by itself, generates at a second pivot-angle maximum value of the second pivot angle an overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate value of the overall drive volumetric flow rate that is greater than that which the first axial piston pump, in particular by itself, generates at a first pivot-angle maximum value of the first pivot angle, in particular at an equal rotational speed. With increasing overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate target value in a low overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate-target-value range, a first pivot-angle target value for the first pivot angle is greater than a second pivot-angle target value for the second pivot angle up to the first pivot-angle maximum value, in a higher overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate-target-value range, the second pivot-angle target value is greater than the first pivot-angle target value up to the second pivot-angle maximum value, in particular and if the first pivot-angle target value is the first pivot-angle maximum value and the second pivot-angle target value is the second pivot-angle maximum value, and in an even higher overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate-target-value range, the motor-rotational-speed target value increases from a motor-rotational-speed minimum value up to a motor-rotational-speed maximum value. This makes possible a maximum efficiency of the hydraulic system. In other words: the second axial piston pump may have a higher maximum displacement volume than the first axial piston pump. In particular, in the low overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate-target-value range and/or the higher overall-drive-volumetric-flow-rate-target-value range, the motor-rotational-speed target value may be constant, in particular the motor-rotational-speed minimum value, in particular greater than zero.
