The advantages and disadvantages of open-loop
control system and closed-loop control system
output.
closed-loop control system
The main advantages :
1) Have higher accuracy;
2) Not require detailed knowledge of each component or
accurate model of the individual component;
3) The ability to recover from external, unwanted disturbances;
4) Reduced sensitivity to disturbance;
The main disadvantages :
1) Complex and expensive to construct;
2) the loss of gain;
3) Quite easy to become unstable.
For most cases, the advantages far outweigh the
to control system.
• Disturbance input-------A disturbance input signal
to the system that has an unwanted effect on the
system output.
• Output (controlled variable )--------The quantity
that must be maintained at a prescribed value, i.e., it
must follow the command input without responding
to disturbance inputs.
• Feedback-----The output of a system that is
returned to modify the input.
• Error-----The difference between the input and the
output.
