Today on Hackaday Dictionary, we’re going to talk about the two basic types of control systems: open-loop and closed-loop. We’ll describe the differences between them and explore the various ...

To help designers maximize performance and efficiency in these systems, Microchip Technology Inc. has introduced the new PIC18 Q10 and ATtiny1607 families, featuring multiple intelligent Core ...

The MathWorks has announced the availability of two new and three upgraded products for engineers developing closed-loop control systems. These tools work within the Simulink environment to expand the ...

For injection molding — as well as just about every plastic process — process cooling is very important for cycle time and part quality. Cooling sometimes seems like a last-horizon type of variable ...

How closed-loop control systems provide real-time motion and position feedback in motion control applications. What to consider when choosing motion control sensors like industrial encoder ...

There are often multiple closed-loop water cooling systems installed in a power plant. Chances are good that they cool or control temperature on some very critical components. It can be easy to ignore ...

Hydrosense is urging system designers, specifiers and building operators to reassess how closed-loop water systems are designed and managed, warning that common design practices and material choices ...

Due to the attention given to RFID for supply chain compliance, companies often lose sight of the fact that RFID can play an integral role in improving the efficiency of many day-to-day manufacturing ...
