A control system in which the control action is somehow dependent on the output is known as - Correct Answer Closed loop system
Open-loop control system:
The open-loop control system can be described by a block diagram as shown in the figure below.

These are the systems in which the control action is independent of output.
Ex: Traffic signals, washing machine and bread toaster, systems having no sensor, etc.
Advantages:
- These systems are simple in construction and design.
- These systems are economic
- Maintenance is easy
- Usually, open-loop systems are not much troubled with problems of instability.
- Convenient to measure when the output is difficult to measure
Disadvantages:
- These systems are not accurate and reliable because their accuracy is dependent on the accuracy calibration.
- Inaccurate results are obtained with parameter variations within the system i.e., internal disturbances.
- Recalibration of the controller is required time to time to maintain accuracy.
Closed-loop control system:
The open-loop control system can be described by a block diagram as shown in the figure below.

These are the systems in which the control action depends on the output. These systems have a tendency to oscillate.
Ex: Temperature controllers, speed control of the motor, systems having sensors, etc.
Advantages:
- In these systems, accuracy is very high due to the correction of any arising error.
- In these systems, the output is less sensitive.
- Reduced effect of non-linearity in these systems.
- Output is less sensitive to parameter changes within the system
- These systems have high bandwidth i.e., high operating frequency zone than the open-loop system.
- The transient response in the closed-loop system decays more quickly than in the open-loop system.
Disadvantages:
- Design is complicated
- More expensive
- Tendency towards oscillations if feedback is not property utilised.
