Abstract
Described is a method of controlling the closing process of closing devices having at least one part that is moved by an electric motor, in which, in the startup phase of the closing device, a movement in the opening direction with a specific opening path is first performed immediately after the activation of the closing process, prior to the movement in the closing direction, for assuring jamming protection. This opening path is variably preset by means of an adaptation process involving at least one adaptation step, and at least as a function of a previous actuation process of the closing device.
Claims18
A method of controlling the closing process of a closing device for assuring jamming protection, wherein the closing device has at least one part that is moved by an electric motor in an opening direction or a closing direction, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) performing a movement in the opening direction with a specific opening path after an activation of the closing process, wherein the opening path is variably preset by means of an adaptation process involving at least one adaptation step;
- and wherein the opening path is varied at least as a function of a preceding actuation process of the closing device;
- and
- b) performing a movement in the closing direction after the movement in the opening direction.
