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 va… ...

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?

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.

In today’s industrial automation applications, complex control systems replace human operators to handle different machines and processes. The term “automation” hints that the systems have to be smart ...

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 ...

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.

System Closed-Loop Control Once you've added smarts to the basic TRIAC control topology, for negligible cost you can incorporate sophisticated closed-loop controls and accommodate more demanding ...

Aerodynamic modeling, mechanical engineering and motor winding are all critical. Since most designers do not manufacture their own fans, and have little influence on these factors, this article ...

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 a ...
