When Vector control is used without speed encoder (refer to Table 3-40) then the 
position of the flux and the actual speed must be determined using the motor 
model. In this case, the model is supported by the accessible currents and 
voltages. At low frequencies (
≈ 0 Hz), the model is not able to determine the speed. 
This is the reason and also due to uncertainty in the model parameters and 
measuring inaccuracy, that a changeover is made from closed-loop to open-loop 
controlled operation in this range.  
The changeover between closed-loop controlled / open-loop controlled operation is 
controlled using the time and frequency conditions (P1755, P1756, P1758) (refer to 
Fig. 3-102). The system does not wait for the time condition if the setpoint 
frequency at the ramp-function generator input and the actual frequency 
simultaneously lie below P1756.

In the open-loop controlled mode, the speed actual value is the same as the 
setpoint. For suspended loads or when accelerating, parameter P1610 (constant 
torque boost) and P1611 (torque boost when accelerating) must be modified in 
order to allow the drive to provide the steady-state and/or dynamic load torque. If 
P1610 is set to 0 %, then only the magnetizing current r0331 is impressed for a 
value of 100 % of the rated motor current P0305. In order that the drive does not 
stall when accelerating, P1611 can be increased or the acceleration pre-control 
can be used for the speed controller (refer to Section 3.23.2.3). This is also 
practical in order that the motor is not thermally overloaded at low speeds.  
 
For Vector control without speed actual value encoder MICROMASTER 440 has, in 
the low frequency range, the following outstanding features with respect to other 
AC drive inverters:
