July-August 2020 Open-loop, closed-loop heating methods Open-loop, closed-loop heating methods By Jason Sanders, Connor Wegner July 31, 2020 Channel Chat Summary By Jason Sanders and Connor Wegner ...

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… ...

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 ...

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 ...

Open-loop systems may not be as smart as closed-loop systems, but they often shine in their simplicity. For the most part, they do what you expect them to do. Light goes on, light goes off.

Closed-loop control allows single-phase ac motors to close the gap in performance and efficiency that exists between these motors and other higher-performance, higher-cost motors.

Though simple, this “open loop” form of fan control has disadvantages. Since there is no feedback mechanism, speed accuracy depends entirely on mechanical tolerances of the fan. Although it may not ...
