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… ...

Of course, a “simple” open-loop control system can mean a steeper learning curve. It’s not easy to learn to drive a manual transmission.

The open-loop heating system has some advantages, including design simplicity and ease of maintenance. With only voltage applied to a heat source, this method does not require an elaborate control ...

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 ...

Model- Based Design helps engineers develop and test the increasingly complex open-loop control systems needed for such functions against the system-level model.

There are various types of electrohydraulic valves which can be applied in many different ways. Common variations include proportional and on/off versions and in closed-loop or open-loop control.

The first randomized phase 2 trial to evaluate outcomes for spinal cord stimulation finds an advantage for an investigational closed-loop system over open-loop.
