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 ...

This method requires a more complex control scheme and is costlier to implement and maintain. Since closed-loop heating relies upon various components for precision feedback and optimized control, the ...

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?

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.

A feedback-control system with open-loop gain of 1 and phase of –180° degrees oscillates when you close the loop around it. A gain stage in the controller allows you to move the open-loop magnitude ...

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

This new study of pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes from France and Belgium investigated the effectiveness of insulin delivery via closed-loop and open-loop systems.
