Understanding Control Systems

Front

Open loop control system output:

Back

Independent of control input

Front

Open control systems: A) Less expensive B) No recalibration C) Simple construction D) Errors from disturbances

Back

Errors from disturbances

Front

Control system where action depends on output:

Back

Closed loop system

Front

Characteristic of a closed loop control system:

Back

Feedback is used

Front

Feedback control system output is compared with:

Back

Desired input

Front

Advantage of closed loop system over open loop system?

Back

Accuracy
