Today on Hackaday Dictionary, we’re going to talk about the two basic types of control systems: open-loop and closed-loop. We’ll describe the differences between them and explore the various ...

Of course, a “simple” open-loop control system can mean a steeper learning curve. It’s not easy to learn to drive a manual transmission.

The open-loop heating system has some advantages, including design simplicity and ease of maintenance. With only voltage applied to a heat source, this method does not require an elaborate control ...

Open loop systems are generally less expensive than closed loop systems because you are not utilizing additional products, like load cells. Finally, closed loop tension control refers to a continuous ...

With open-loop therapies, insulin administration is manually controlled, while hybrid closed-loop systems automatically regulate insulin delivery.

Closed Loop MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning) is a computerized system used for production planning and inventory control.

Open loop systems are often used in large commercial developments with load requirements of 250-350kW upwards, because they can be more cost-effective than closed systems on this scale. Open loop is ...

The bihormonal closed-loop system, which acts as an artificial pancreas, is where the insulin pump makes the decisions about when to dose with insulin and glucagon to help people with type 1 diabetes ...

To help reduce the challenges associated with cooling solutions, engineers can utilize closed-loop fan speed control ICs (FSC-ICs) over open-loop fan drive ICs. The small geometry IC fabrication ...

Electronic control logic and system components are described that are used with a venturi carburetor to accomplish the fuel metering required in a closed loop emission control system. Special open ...
