Drive Control 'Drive_PosControl'

With the Drive_PosControl drive control, you can let the position control of an axis of CODESYS continue to run. The requirement is a device that is controlled by the set velocity and returns its current position. For example, this can be a velocity-controlled device (frequency converter) with position feedback.
