Open Loop and Closed Loop Control System

The document describes open and closed loop control systems. [1] An open loop system does not automatically correct for variations in output as it lacks feedback. The example given is a solar cell system where electricity output depends on weather and sunlight exposure with no feedback. [2] A closed loop system uses feedback to automatically correct the output for disturbances. The example is a football pump system where the actual position is sensed and fed back to adjust the pump as needed to reach the desired position.

Open Loop Control System

Any physical system which does not automatically correct for variation in its output, is called an open-loop
system.

System
In this system,
 We get electricity by conversion of sunlight, where the sunlight is controlled by the sun that means it is
depends on the weather.
 When the sunlight is fall over the solar cell plant that means signal is reach over here then get output
that is electricity.
 In this system, have not any feedback or error signal that’s why implementation feature is not
available.
 Here the power of electricity is depends on the amount of solar power that means output variation is
depending upon on the weather of the earth which is independent.
Closed Loop Control System

Control system in which the output has an effect on the input quantity in such a manner that the input
quantity will adjust itself based on the output generated is called closed loop control system. Open loop
control system can be converted in to closed loop control system by providing a feedback. This feedback
automatically makes the suitable changes in the output due to external disturbance.

In this system,
 Here desired output is actual shape of the football which is controlled by operator. Due to disturbance
we can’t get actual position after actuating at that time found out output is give a feedback signal into
feedback device or sensor.
 Then the feedback signal (positive or negative) is passed into error signal section, after that operator
controlled that, to get desired result.
 By this feedback process controller has adjusted unless get required output through this
implementation process which known as closed loop control system.
 Finally, we understand that in this control system is not dependent on input to get the desired output
because of the feedback loop mechanism.
