Title: Define open and closed loops in control systems.
Course: Cybersecurity in Manufacturing (13002-III) > Section: Exploring Automated Tools Related to Manufacturing

Definition should include

- open-loop system (i.e., a system without a feedback mechanism) (e.g., robot driving from joystick input, portable sensors)
- closed-loop system (i.e., a system with a feedback mechanism) (e.g., hot-water heating system, a robot programmed to distinguish among variables)
- a description of why one system would be preferred over the other.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is an input?
- What is a process?
- What is output?
- How can feedback change a system?
- What are the differences between open-loop systems and closed-loop systems?
- What are some examples of open-loop and closed-loop systems?
- What are the strengths of a closed-loop system?
- How are open-loop systems used in everyday life?
