The invention relates to an open drive regulator and a method for software generation
which offers the capability for customer-specific selection of function objects
which are compiled separately. The compiled function objects can be preprocessed
in the form of a library routines. Based on the instantiated and compiled function
objects, the software for the drive regulator is generated or is loaded online
for an existing program sequence. It is particularly advantageous that the function
objects can be changed by a customer, for example in order to implement a customer-specific functionality.
