8.2.5 Open-loop Control Structure
In open-loop mode, the drive uses 1 or more references (local or remote) to control the speed or torque of the motor. There
are 2 types of open-loop control:
•
Speed control. No feedback from the motor.
•
Torque control. Used in VVC
+
mode. The function is used in mechanically robust applications, but its accuracy is
limited. Open-loop torque function works only in 1 speed direction. The torque is calculated based on current
measurement within the drive. See chapter 9 Application Examples.
In the conguration shown in Illustration 8.6, the drive operates in open-loop mode. It receives input from either the LCP
(hand-on mode) or via a remote signal (auto-on mode).
The signal (speed reference) is received and conditioned with the following:
•
Programmed minimum and maximum motor speed limits (in RPM and Hz).
•
Ramp-up and ramp-down times.
•
Motor rotation direction.
The reference is then passed on to control the motor.
