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?

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

A closed-loop system of insulin delivery (also called an artificial pancreas) may improve glycemic outcomes in children with type 1 diabetes. In a 16-week, multicenter, randomized, open-label, para ...

The new closed-loop cooling system has helped Process Conversions control process cooling temperatures within plus or minus 3° F, vs. plus or minus 5° F with the old system.
