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.

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 ...

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

The weakness of the open-loop system is clear: without any feedback, the system cannot automatically adjust its process to change its output. This rigidity, the inflexibility of an open-loop system, ...

One segment of a process control system. An open-loop control process requires human intervention, whereas a closed-loop system is entirely automated (see PID). See process control.
