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 ...

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 ...

An electronic closed-loop control system generally consists of three elements: the controller, the input for the feedback signal (an ADC), and an output actuator (a DAC). The ADC senses and feeds back ...

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 ...

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 ...

Festo introduces its Controlled Pneumatics technology which features digital closed-loop control for applications ranging from welding and gripping to dispensing and pumping.
