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 ...

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.

Parameters that must be considered when specifying open- and closed-loop control systems include: Hysteresis: The difference in measured output between increasing and decreasing commands.

For those in the transit industry, it’s easy to get lost in the jargon. Terms like card-based, account-based, open-loop and ...

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 ...

The open-loop control system is a continuous control system that provides no feedback from its output. The control process, therefore, is only affected by the system’s input .

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 ...

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 ...
