What is the main difference between open and closed control loops?

Open control loops are automatic, closed control loops are manual.

Open control loops use a regulating unit, closed control loops do not.

Open control loops are independent, closed control loops are automatic.

Open control loops are dependent on their output variable, closed control loops are independent. (correct)

What is the purpose of a controller in a process control system?
