The inner loop functions like a traditional feedback control system with a setpoint, a process variable, and a controller acting on a process by means of an actuator. The outer loop does the same except that it uses the entire inner loop as its actuator.

What is the difference between inner loop and outer loop?
A nested loop is a (inner) loop that appears in the loop body of another (outer) loop. The inner or outer loop can be any type: while, do while, or for. For example, the inner loop can be a while loop while an outer loop can be a for loop.
What is the difference between the autopilot inner and outer control loops?
The autopilot consists of two cascaded loops. The inner loop controls the pitch rate q, and the outer loop controls the vertical acceleration az in response to the pilot stick command azref .
What are the two types of control loops?
There are two main types of control loops: open loops that take human input and closed loops that are fully autonomous. Some loops can be switched between closed and open.
Why is inner loop faster than outer loop?
A faster inner loop can respond more quickly to disturbances than the outer loop. Therefore, it reduces the severity of disturbances and limits variability that would affect the heating process. In loops where the cascade architecture is well deployed, there is an effective response to disturbances.
