Closed-Loop Control

Closed-loop control is a system that automatically adjusts its actions based on feedback to achieve a desired outcome. It continuously monitors its performance, compares it to a target or setpoint, and makes corrections as needed. For example, a thermostat measures room temperature and adjusts the heating or cooling to maintain a set temperature. This feedback loop helps systems operate accurately and efficiently without manual intervention, making them adaptable to changing conditions and disturbances.
