Control of PlantEquipmentOperation:Uncontrolled

Hello All,

Is there any way to control the HW loop when using the PlantEquipmentOperation:Uncontrolled? From the documentation of EnergyPlus it says,

"If the loop runs, this equipment will run also, unless turned off by the loop flow resolver to maintain continuity in the fluid loop."

So, is there any way to run the loop, to have the equipment running?
