Abstract
The method for controlling a maneuvering device (2) to maneuver a screen (3) of an occulting home-automation system (1) between at least a first position and a second position comprises: a first actuator (5) equipped with a first electric motor (9), a torque detection device (19) and a position management module (27), a second actuator (6) equipped with a second electric motor (12), a torque detection device (26) and a position management module (28), and a winding shaft (7). The actuator and the second actuator are configured to drive the winding shaft. The method includes designating the first actuator as master actuator and the second actuator as slave actuator.
Claims21
A method for controlling a maneuvering device intended to maneuver a screen of an occulting home-automation system between at least a first position and a second position, the maneuvering device comprising:
- a first actuator equipped with a first electric motor, a torque detection device and a position management module,
- a second actuator equipped with a second electric motor, a torque detection device and a position management module, and
- a winding shaft,
- wherein each of the first actuator and the second actuator is directly connected to the winding shaft,
- wherein the first actuator and the second actuator are configured to drive the winding shaft, and
- wherein the method comprises designating the first actuator as master actuator and the second actuator as slave actuator, and configuring the second actuator wherein operation of the position management module of the second actuator is at least partially disabled.
A maneuvering device intended to maneuver a screen of an occulting home-automation system between at least a first position and a second position, the maneuvering device comprising:
- a first actuator equipped with a first electric motor, a torque detection device and a position management module,
- a second actuator equipped with a second electric motor, a torque detection device and a position management module, and
- a winding shaft,
- wherein each of the first actuator and the second actuator is directly connected to the winding shaft,
- wherein the first actuator and the second actuator are configured to drive the winding shaft, and
- wherein the first actuator is designated as master actuator and the second actuator is designated as slave actuator, the maneuvering device comprising a memory provided with information relating to at least partial disabling the position management module of the second actuator.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a computer program product comprising program code instructions to implement, when the program runs on a computer, a method for controlling a maneuvering device intended to maneuver a screen of an occulting home-automation system between at least a first position and a second position, the maneuvering device comprising:
- a first actuator equipped with a first electric motor, a torque detection device and a position management module,
- a second actuator equipped with a second electric motor, a torque detection device and a position management module, and
- a winding shaft,
- wherein each of the first actuator and the second actuator is directly connected to the winding shaft,
- wherein the first actuator and the second actuator are configured to drive the winding shaft, and
- wherein the method comprises designating the first actuator as master actuator and the second actuator as slave actuator, and configuring the second actuator wherein operation of the position management module of the second actuator is at least partially disabled.
