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?

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.

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 ...

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 MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning) is a computerized system used for production planning and inventory control.

Applying the principles of closed loop PID control to your system fan requirements will eliminate many problems down the road. Darrin Vallis is a principal field applications engineer at Cypress ...
