Closed-loop control system:

  • A feedback path is employed in closed-loop control system to measure the original system parameters such as pressure, speed, and so on.
  • Here, the controller produces an error signal which initiates corrective action and energize the output device.
  • The main characteristic of a closed-loop control system is that it can sense and measure the actual output of the system.
  • Examples of closed-loop systems include cooling system in car, water level controller, tracking radar systems, and many others.

A new design for an emergency demonstration system is composed of three bulbs (one green and two reds) installed on the top of a car as shown in the Figure 4. Figure 4 A car with three emergency lights. A control console is installed inside the car. The console has two switches each with an output of o òr 1. If the emergency level is 0 (no emergency), the green light is on. If the emergency level is 1, one read light is ON; if the emergency level is 2, both red lights are
