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 ...

Many variables There are many variables to consider when deciding between an open-loop or closed-loop heating control system for an industrial application. Both methods offer great benefits, but ...

So the question is this: is an open-loop system more valuable than a closed-loop system if it means having more control over the process? Does it depend entirely on the process in question?

Industrial control systems can be categorized in two types: open-loop and closed-loop systems. The open-loop control system is a continuous control system that provides no feedback from its output.

For example, traditional step motor systems run in open loop control. That means the drive electronics continuously supply current to the motor whether or not the load is demanding torque.

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

Closed-loop systems that automate insulin delivery may improve glycemic outcomes in patients with type 1 diabetes. In this 6-month randomized, multicenter trial, patients with type 1 diabetes were ...

Applying the principles of closed loop PID control to your system fan requirements will eliminate many problems down the road. Darrin Vallis is a principal field applications engineer at Cypress ...
