Over 150 years ago, one of the first attempts to thoroughly describe control loops using feedback took place in James Clark Maxwell’s article, On Governors. 1. In control strategies, an open-loop ...

Industrial control systems can be categorized in two types: open-loop and closed-loop systems. The open-loop control system is a continuous control system that provides no feedback from its output.

Oriental Motors is exhibiting its Alphastep Hybrid family of positioning products as well as its high torque stepper motors at PACK EXPO Las Vegas. The company’s Alphastep Hybrid Control System uses a ...

In motion control applications, you frequently hear all sorts of loops -- open, closed, current, torque, speed, voltage, and so on. Here, we define and explain these terms. Raymond C. Blatt and ...

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. THIS ...
