Ex a mpl e - O p en Lo o p System ▶ The clothes dryer is one of the examples of the open-loop control system. In this, the control action can be done physically through the operator. Based on the clothing’s wetness, the operator will fix the timer to 30 minutes. So after that, the timer will discontinue even after the machine clothes are wet. The dryer in the machine will stop functioning even if the preferred output is not attained. This displays that the control system doesn’t feedback. In this system, the controller of the system is the timer.
Ex a mpl e - O p en Lo o p System ▶ The best example of the closed-loop control system is AC or air conditioner. The AC controls the temperature by evaluating it with the nearby temperature. The evaluation of temperature can be done through the thermostat. Once the air conditioner gives the error signal is the main difference between the room and the surrounding temperature. So the thermostat will control the compressor. These systems are accurate, expensive, reliable, and requires high maintenance.
