The invention claimed is: 1. A drive device for providing a drive movement, comprising a drive motor designed to convert provided electric or fluidic energy into a movement of a motor element, further comprising a drive sensor assigned to the drive motor and designed to detect the movement of the motor element and to provide a drive sensor signal, and further comprising a transmission device coupled to the drive motor and designed to convert the movement of the motor element into a drive movement of a drive element, wherein the transmission device is assigned a movement sensor for the detection of the drive movement, the movement sensor being electrically connected to the drive sensor, and wherein the movement sensor is assigned a detection device designed for the detection of component data and for the provision of detected component data to the movement sensor, wherein the movement sensor is designed to provide movement sensor signals and component data to the drive sensor and the drive sensor comprises a sensor data interface designed to provide drive sensor signals and movement sensor signals and component data to a higher-level controller. 2. The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the movement sensor is designed for a transmission of movement sensor signals and component data to the drive sensor in accordance with a presettable data transmission protocol. 3. The drive device according to claim 2 , wherein the presettable data transmission protocol is IO Link. 4. The drive device according to claim 2 , wherein the presettable data transmission protocol is SSI. 5. The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the movement sensor is designed for a reception of parameter data for the parameterisation of the movement sensor and/or the detection device from the drive sensor in accordance with a presettable data transmission protocol. 6. The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the drive sensor comprises a processing device designed to process drive sensor signals, movement sensor signals and component data and to provide a signal dataset in accordance with a presettable data transmission protocol at the sensor data interface. 7. The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the drive sensor comprises a memory device designed to buffer drive sensor data and/or movement sensor data and/or parameter data. 8. The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the detection device is designed to detect the component data by processing movement sensor signals and comparing the detected movement sensor signals to presettable movement sensor signal patterns and/or comparing them to drive sensor signals. 9. The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein the detection device comprises an RFID reading unit for a wireless detection of component data, and wherein the transmission device is assigned an RFID element in which component data are stored. 10. The drive device according to claim 1 , wherein a higher-level controller is connected to the sensor data interface of the drive sensor, and wherein the controller is designed for the open- or closed-loop control of the drive motor as a function of drive sensor signals and/or movement sensor signals and/or component data and/or parameter data. 11. The drive device according to claim 10 , wherein the higher-level controller comprises an input interface designed for the connection of a parameterisation unit, and wherein the input interface is designed for outputting and/or receiving parameter data. 12.
