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 ...

Open-Loop vs. Closed-Loop So where exactly does open-loop end and closed-loop begin? The line seems clear for some systems, but muddy for others. How much feedback is enough to qualify?

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.

With closed-loop control, poor performance typically manifests itself as deviations from set point. By analyzing these deviations, one can determine if they are caused by suboptimal controller tuning ...
