FAQ: What is closed-loop control with load-position control?

July 23, 2015 By Zak Khan Leave a Comment

Load-position control is a form of closed-loop stepper-motor control. It’s true that stepper motors can run open loop—as they don’t need sensor-feedback-based controller corrections. So, stepper-motor circuits are simpler and the motors are easy to implement … but if anything goes wrong in the application, the open-loop stepper won’t respond to the new condition. In […]
