Open loop

The function module operates in open-loop control mode.
The encoder signal is not taken into account by the controller.
The setpoint for the current controller is generated by the higher-level profile generator.
The actual position corresponds to the position value of the profile generator.
An encoder value is output depending on the setting in 0x8F00-01 – Encoder feedback configuration.

0: Encoder value is 0 (fixed).
1: Encoder value is output in 0x8F00-02 – Encoder – Actual value.

Operating principle

In open loop mode, the setpoint for the current controller is generated by the higher-level profile generator. The position and speed control loops are not closed and therefore the encoder signal is not evaluated in the control loops. The following objects are used with open loop:

Open loop \| Using the encoder
0x8F00-01 – Encoder feedback configuration	Open loop 0: Encoder value is 0 (fixed). 1: Encoder value is output in 0x8F00-02 – Encoder – Actual value.
0x8480-02 – Actual position	Position value of the profile generator
0x8480-03 – Setpoint position	Specification of setpoint position
0x8F00-02 – Encoder – Actual value	The display is dependent on the setting in 0x8F00-01 – Encoder feedback configuration.
