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?

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 ...

In control strategies, an open-loop control system refers to a controller whose action is determined based on predetermined input values without considering feedback.

Electronic control logic and system components are described that are used with a venturi carburetor to accomplish the fuel metering required in a closed loop emission control system. Special open ...

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.

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.

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 ...
