Questions and Answers
What is the difference between closed loop control and open loop control?
What is the difference between closed loop control and open loop control?
Closed loop control uses feedback or sensors to automatically regulate a system without human interaction, while open loop control does not have a feedback system and requires manual adjustment.
What is an example of a mechanical closed loop system?
What is an example of a mechanical closed loop system?
Bimetallic temperature switches or self-regulating valves are examples of mechanical closed loop systems.
Why are closed loop control systems more desirable than open loop systems?
Why are closed loop control systems more desirable than open loop systems?
Closed loop control systems are more desirable because they are sensitive to changes and can maintain a desired state or set point, while open loop systems do not have the ability to automatically adjust and may result in errors or inconsistencies.
Flashcards
Closed Loop Control
Closed Loop Control
Uses feedback or sensors to automatically regulate a system without human interaction.
Open Loop Control
Open Loop Control
Does not use feedback and requires manual adjustment.
Why Closed Loop Systems are Desirable
Why Closed Loop Systems are Desirable
They are sensitive to changes and can maintain a desired state or set point automatically.
Study Notes
- A closed loop control system automatically regulates a system without human interaction
- It uses a feedback system or sensor
- Closed loop control is contrasted with open loop control
- A home thermostat is a simple example of a closed loop control system
- Closed loop systems are more desirable than open loop systems
- Most modern closed loop systems are electronically controlled
- Complex closed loop systems can use sensors for multiple inputs and outputs
- Old or low-cost systems may use a mechanical closed loop system
- Examples of mechanical closed loop systems are bimetallic temperature switches or self-regulating valves
- Closed loop control systems are sensitive to changes and maintain a desired state or set point.
