Abstract
A device for controlling height-adjustable tables, wherein a plurality of tables is connected to said device. The use of this device allows all tables that are connected to the device to be controlled using only one control unit that is also connected to said device. Accordingly, equipping each table with a separate control unit is rendered superfluous by this device. This makes the entire design simpler and more cost-effective.

1-13. (canceled)
A device for controlling two or more motorized height-adjustable tables comprising:
- two or more interfaces, each for supplying a respective motor with current,
- two or more interfaces, each for communicating with a respective operating element,
- an interface for connecting a controller,
- wherein said device is configured to detect an input command from an operating element and to pass it to said controller,
- wherein said device is configured to identify from which operating element said input command originates, to pass the identified operating element to said controller, and to pass current subsequently output by said controller to the motor associated with the operating element from which said input command originates.
A device for controlling one motorized height-adjustable table comprising:
- two or more interfaces, each for supplying a respective motor with current,
- two or more interfaces, each for communicating with a respective operating element,
- an interface for connecting a controller,
- wherein said device is configured to detect an input command from an operating element and to pass it to said controller,
- wherein said device is configured to identify from which operating element said input command originates, to pass the identified operating element to said controller, and to pass current subsequently output by said controller to the motor associated with the operating element from which said input command originates.
A system including a device for controlling one motorized height-adjustable table, said device comprising:
- two or more interfaces, each for supplying a respective motor with current,
- two or more interfaces, each for communicating with a respective operating element,
- an interface for connecting a controller,
- wherein said device is configured to detect an input command from an operating element and to pass it to said controller,
- wherein said device is configured to identify from which operating element said input command originates, to pass the identified operating element to said controller, and to pass current subsequently output by said controller to the motors associated with the operating element from which said input command originates, wherein said controller is configured to supply all of the motors with current by means of an external current supply, and wherein said motors and said operating elements are grouped into individual units.
A system including a device for controlling two or more motorized height-adjustable tables, said device comprising:
- two or more interfaces, each for supplying a respective motor with current,
- two or more interfaces, each for communicating with a respective operating element,
- an interface for connecting a controller,
- wherein said device is configured to detect an input command from an operating element and to pass it to said controller,
- wherein said device is configured to identify from which operating element said input command originates, to pass the identified operating element to said controller, and to pass current subsequently output by said controller to the motors associated with the operating element from which said input command originates, wherein said controller is configured to supply all of the motors with current by means of an external current supply.
