9.10.1. Open-Loop Control

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is an open-loop control system?

   Hint

   Think about commands given without adjustments.

2. 2.

   Can you name an example of an open-loop control system?

   Hint

   Consider devices that operate under predictable conditions.

3. 3.

   What does an open-loop control system primarily rely on?

   • Feedback
   • Predetermined Commands
   • Real-Time Adjustments

   Hint

   Focus on what happens in such systems.

4. 4.

   True or False: Open-loop control systems are more expensive than closed-loop systems.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the cost aspect of the systems.

5. 5.

   Design a simple open-loop irrigation system for a small garden. What considerations must be taken to ensure plants are properly watered?

   Hint

   Identify plant requirements and possible environmental conditions.

6. 6.

   Analyze a scenario where open-loop control could significantly fail. What changes could you implement to improve accuracy?

   Hint

   Consider occurrences that deviate from expected behaviors.
