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.

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.

UNDERSTANDING CLOSED-LOOP FAN SPEED CONTROL By Ken W. Gay, SMSC When implementing cooling solutions for electronic equipment, system designers are confronted with a complex set of variables.

There are various types of electrohydraulic valves which can be applied in many different ways. Common variations include proportional and on/off versions and in closed-loop or open-loop control.

Simple construction allows an open-loop Hall effect sensor to beat its closed-loop counterparts in terms of price, weight, and size; yet it may be susceptible to temperature variation and saturation.
