Applied control systems Flashcards
1
Q
Open loop control
A
Most basic type of system
input triggers the output and output and process controls the output
outputs of open loop system are a direct result of the inputs
cheaper and simpler
With open loop control a machine, once started, follows a set of iinstructions
2
Q
Closed loop
A
More Complex
makes use of a feedback loop
e.g. Car barrier uses feedback from sensors to detect a car approaching
