Abstract
Method for configuring an actuator (2) for the operation of a moving element (3) for closure, solar protection, privacy or screening, said actuator comprising a gear motor (4) and a gear motor electronic control unit (5), said electronic control unit incorporating a memory (51) in which at least one range of travel of the element has been pre-recorded, and said method comprising a step for the relative modification of the magnitude of at least one range.
Claims20
A method for configuring an actuator for operation of a moving element for closure, solar protection, privacy or screening,
- wherein the actuator comprises a gear motor and a gear motor electronic control unit, the electronic control unit incorporating a memory in which at least one range of travel of the moving element has been pre-recorded,
- wherein the initial data recorded in the memory define magnitudes of different ranges used in the operation of the actuator,
- wherein the method comprises performing a relative modification of a magnitude of the at least one range in relation to the initial data for the definition of the at least one range.
An electro-mechanical actuator for operation of a moving rolling closure element,
- wherein the actuator comprises a gear motor and a gear motor electronic control unit,
- wherein the electronic control unit incorporates a memory in which at least one range of travel of the element has been pre-recorded, wherein the initial data recorded in the memory define the magnitudes of different ranges used in the operation of the actuator, and
- hardware and/or software components for the implementation of a method for configuring the actuator for the operation of a moving element for closure, solar protection, privacy or screening, the method comprising performing a relative modification of a magnitude of the at least one range in relation to initial data for the definition of the at least one range,
- wherein the actuator comprises an electronically-commutated DC motor.
