The sum of both torque setpoints is limited in the same way as the torque setpoint 
of the speed control (refer to Section 3.23.2.5). Above the maximum speed (plus 3 
%), a speed limiting controller reduces the torque limits in order to prevent the drive 
accelerating any further. 
A "real" closed-loop torque control (with automatically set speed) is only possible in 
the closed-loop controlled range but not in the open-loop controlled range. In the 
open-loop controlled range, the torque setpoint changes the setpoint speed 
through a ramp-up integrator (integration time ~ P1499 
*
 P0341 
*
 P0342). This is 
the reason that sensorless closed-loop torque control in the area around standstill 
(0 speed) is only suitable for applications which require an accelerating torque 
there and not a load torque (e.g. traversing drives). For closed-loop torque control 
with sensors, this restriction does not apply. 
If the closed-loop torque control is active, and a fast stop command (OFF3) is 
output, then the system automatically changes-over to closed-loop speed control 
and the drive is braked. If a normal stop command (OFF1) is output, there is no 
changeover. Instead, the system waits until a higher-level control has brought the 
drive to a standstill, in order to inhibit the pulses there. This is necessary in order to 
allow the master and slave drives to be shut down together. For P1300 = 22 or 23, 
for OFF1, the drive is directly powered-down (as for OFF2).

All of the following limits act on the torque setpoint which is either entered at the 
speed controller output for closed-loop speed control or as torque input for closed-
loop torque control. The minimum is used from the various limits. This minimum is 
cyclically computed in the drive inverter and displayed in parameters r1538, r1539. 
¾ r1538  Upper torque limit 
¾ r1539  Lower torque limit 
This means that these cyclic values limit the torque setpoint at the speed controller 
output / torque input and indicate the instantaneously maximum possible torque. If 
the torque setpoint is limited in the drive inverter, then this is displayed using the 
following diagnostic parameters 
¾  r1407 bit 08 Upper torque limit active 
¾  r1407 bit 09 Lower torque limit active
