Open and closed-loop control systems

Control systems are foundational elements in automation and engineering. They are broadly categorized into open-loop and closed-loop systems. These classifications hinge on the presence or absence of feedback mechanisms, significantly influencing the system's performance, complexity, and application.

Control systems are primarily classified as open-loop and closed-loop or feedback control systems.

The elements of an open-loop system are the controller and the controlled process. An input signal is applied to the controller, which controls the process so that the controlled variable performs according to prescribed standards.
