Abstract
Method for controlling a signalling device inserted in an automatism of gates (G), movable barriers, doors or the like, and having at least one warning device (L, BZ), characterized in that it supplies power from the signalling device (LL) to at least one mechanical group (M) having a motor, detects in the signalling device (LL) the absorbed power from the at least one mechanical group (M) having a motor, and activates the at least one warning device (L, BZ) when the predefined absorbed power threshold has been exceeded.
Claims22
A method for controlling a signaling device, the signaling device disposed in an opening-and-closure mechanism for a gate, a movable barrier, or a door, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) supplying power from the signaling device to a command unit and a mechanical group having a motor;
- (b) detecting in the signaling device a power absorption from the mechanical group;
- (c) activating a warning device associated with the opening-and-closure mechanism when a predefined power threshold for the power absorption has been exceeded.
A signaling device for an opening-and-closure mechanism for a gate, a movable barrier, or a door, each having a warning device;
- the signaling device comprising
- a power supply means for supplying power from the signaling device to a control unit and to a mechanical group having a motor;
- a detection means for detecting a power absorption by the mechanical group from the power supply means;
- a control means for activating the warning device when a predetermined threshold of the power absorption is exceeded.
An automatic barrier comprising:
- an opening-and-closure mechanism;
- a warning device;
- a signaling device for the opening-and-closure mechanism, the signaling device comprising
- a power supply means for supplying power from the signaling device to a control unit and to a mechanical group having a motor;
- a detection means for detecting a power absorption by the mechanical group from the power supply means;
- a control means for activating the warning device when a predetermined threshold of the power absorption is exceeded.
