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 ...

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.

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 ...

Titanio series stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions include three new drives available with two open-loop (no encoder ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. More than 80% of the motors bought each year continue to be low-cost single-phase ac motors. Because these motors are not very efficient when ...

A closed-loop control system gathers feedback information from sensors and makes appropriate process adjustments at its output, automatically and without human intervention.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
