One segment of a process control system. An open-loop control process requires human intervention, whereas a closed-loop system is entirely automated (see PID). See process control.

In control strategies, an open-loop control system refers to a controller whose action is determined based on predetermined input values without considering feedback.

The weakness of the open-loop system is clear: without any feedback, the system cannot automatically adjust its process to change its output. This rigidity, the inflexibility of an open-loop system, ...

In motion control applications, you frequently hear all sorts of loops -- open, closed, current, torque, speed, voltage, and so on. Here, we define and explain these terms.

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 ...

There are two control options for hydraulic systems: open-loop and closed-loop. In general terms, an open-loop system cannot compensate for any disturbances that alter the controller’s driving ...

The design concepts of control theory like open loop and closed loop controller give another vision and maybe a clearer and more general view on the functionality and inner working of many software ...

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.

Practically speaking, in a control loop system, it means that the correction signal no longer opposes the output but returns in phase with the exact same amplitude as the excitation signal.

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 ...

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 ...
