Motor assembly for an architectural opening covering system

A motor assembly for an architectural opening covering system having a covering and having a rail with a lift mechanism for the covering, the lift mechanism extending in a longitudinal direction between a first mechanism end and a second mechanism end and being positioned between one end and another end of the rail, the motor assembly including:

• a master motor for providing rotational drive about a master drive axis;
• a slave motor for providing rotational drive about a slave drive axis;
• power storage for storing electrical energy for powering the master motor and the slave motor;
• and
• control circuitry configured to control operation of the master motor and the slave motor using the electrical energy stored in the power storage;
• wherein:
• the motor assembly further includes a housing which houses the master motor, the slave motor, the power storage and the control circuitry, the housing extending in the longitudinal direction between a first end and a second end;
• the master motor and the slave motor are arranged at the first end of the housing side-by-side in a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the master drive axis and the slave drive axis being parallel to the longitudinal direction;
• the power storage is arranged in the housing at a position spaced from the master motor and the slave motor in the longitudinal direction towards the second end of the housing;
• and
• the housing has an external shape and size configured to be supported:
• (1) adjacent to the one end of the rail of the architectural opening covering system in a first orientation with the first end of the housing facing towards the other end of the rail and the first mechanism end of the lift mechanism;
• and (2) adjacent to the other end of the rail of the architectural opening covering system in a second orientation, opposite to the first orientation, with the first end of the housing facing towards the one end of the rail and the second mechanism end of the lift mechanism.
