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.

Figure 1: Depicted is the power consumption of open loop vs. closed loop stepper systems. Consider a side-by-side comparison of a traditional, open loop step motor system and a fully closed loop ...

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… ...

Open loop cooling systems use water to cool engines directly, while closed-loop systems use marine coolant and a heat exchanger to keep engines cool.

In temperature regulation, there are two types of systems: open loop and closed loop. Deciding which methodology to choose depends on the requirements of the process. Open-loop heating. Open-loop ...
