This document discusses closed loop control of DC motors. It describes how closed loop control uses feedback to regulate motor speed by varying the voltage applied to the motor. It explains four quadrant chopper control and how duty cycle controls motor speed. Closed loop speed control and closed loop field control methods are presented. The feedback loop is described as taking the output into consideration to adjust performance to meet the desired result. The key differences between open loop and closed loop systems are outlined. Applications and advantages/disadvantages of closed loop control are also summarized.
