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 ...

In today’s industrial automation applications, complex control systems replace human operators to handle different machines and processes. The term “automation” hints that the systems have to be smart ...

There are two control options for hydraulic systems: open-loop and closed-loop. In general terms, an open-loop system cannot compensate for any disturbances that alter the controller’s driving ...

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 ...

In motion control applications, you frequently hear all sorts of loops -- open, closed, current, torque, speed, voltage, and so on. Here, we define and explain these terms.

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 ...

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?

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 ...

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… ...

Errors for all closed-loop sensors remain within 0.5%, while errors for open-loop sensors range from 2.5% to 7.5%. Again, the closed-loop sensor is 2.5 to 11 times better than open-loop type.
