Open and Closed Loop Systems in Computin

Welcome! Today we explore open and closed loop systems. Colin will cover open loop systems. Jenson will present
closed loop systems.
Introduction to Control
Systems
Control systems automate processes. They are vital in computing.
This presentation defines control systems. We highlight their
importance in modern automation.

1 Definition 2 Importance
Control systems manage They enhance process
automation. control.

3 Overview
Learn about open vs. closed loops.
Open Loop Systems (Colin)
Open loop systems lack feedback. The output does not influence
control. They're driven only by input. Colin will explain the features.

Definition Characteristics
No feedback mechanism is They are driven by the input
present. only.

Control
Output doesn't affect the action.
Examples of Open Loop
Systems (Colin)
Time-based sprinklers work without feedback. Toasters operate on
a timer. Simple washing machines follow a set program. Traffic
lights use preset timers.

Sprinklers Toasters Washers


Operate on timers. Use preset times. Follow set programs.

Traffic Lights
Employ fixed timers.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Open
Loop Systems (Colin)
Open loop systems are simple. They offer low costs. However, they lack self-correction. Accuracy is often limited.
They are vulnerable to outside issues.

Pros Cons

• Simplicity • No self-correction
• Low cost • Less accurate
• Easy maintenance • Vulnerable to disturbances
Closed Loop Systems
(Jenson)
Closed loop systems utilize feedback. The output shapes control.
Jenson will detail the mechanics. This improves accuracy in the
process.

Definition Characteristics
Uses a feedback mechanism. Output affects control.

Control
Action is influenced by output.
Examples of Closed Loop
Systems (Jenson)
Thermostats maintain temperature. Cruise control manages car speed.
Automated assembly lines use sensors. PID controllers are in industrial
processes.

Thermostats Cruise Control Assembly Lines


Maintain temperature. Manages car speed. Uses sensors.

PID Controllers
In industrial processes.
Advantages and Disadvantages of
Closed Loop Systems (Jenson)
Closed loop systems self-regulate. They show higher accuracy. However, they are more complex. Costs may be
higher. Oscillation is possible.

Pros Cons

• Self-regulating • More complex


• More accurate • Potentially higher cost
• Adaptable to changes • Risk of oscillation
Comparison: Open vs.
Closed Loop Systems
Open loop systems lack feedback and are less accurate. They are
simpler. Costs are lower. Closed loop systems use feedback, are
more accurate, and adaptable.

Aspect Open Loop Closed Loop

Feedback No Yes

Accuracy Lower Higher

Complexity Simple More complex

Cost Lower Higher

Adaptability Limited High
