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 ...

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 ...

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?

The new closed-loop cooling system has helped Process Conversions control process cooling temperatures within plus or minus 3° F, vs. plus or minus 5° F with the old system.

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 ...
