Abstract
Method for operating an actuator for maneuvering a windable mobile element of a home automation appliance, the mobile element being able to be displaced between two extreme positions, the method comprising a first step for definition of a first angular speed setpoint of the actuator in a first docking area and a second step for definition of a second angular speed setpoint of the actuator in a second docking area, the first and second angular speed setpoints being different.
Claims18
A method for operating an actuator (ACT) for manoeuvring a windable mobile element (COV) of a home automation appliance (EQU), the mobile element being able to be displaced between two extreme positions, the method comprising a first step for definition of a first angular speed setpoint (SP1) of the actuator in a first docking area (ZLS1) and a second step for definition of a second angular speed setpoint (SP2) of the actuator in a second docking area (ZLS2), the first and second angular speed setpoints being different,
- wherein at least one of the first and second angular speed setpoints is obtained from the definition of a first linear speed setpoint (CL1) of the mobile element in the first docking area (ZLS1) and/or of a second linear speed setpoint (CL2) of the mobile element in the second docking area (ZLS2),
- wherein the first and second linear speed setpoints are defined as a common or substantially common linear speed setpoint (CL) of the mobile element in the first and second docking areas, in particular as a common or substantially common linear speed setpoint of the mobile element on arrival at the extreme positions.
A method for operating an actuator (ACT) for manoeuvring a windable mobile element (COV) of a home automation appliance (EQU), the mobile element being able to be displaced between two extreme positions, the method comprising a first step for definition of a first angular speed setpoint (SP1) of the actuator in a first docking area (ZLS1) and a second step for definition of a second angular speed setpoint (SP2) of the actuator in a second docking area (ZLS2), the first and second angular speed setpoints being different,
- wherein the angular or linear speed setpoint corresponding to a docking area is reached when a so-called approach area part of the docking area has been covered, in particular when ⅔ of the docking area have been covered, or
- wherein the angular speed of the actuator in the docking areas decreases from the entry into a docking area until the angular speed setpoint value (SP1, SP2) defined for each docking area is reached on arrival of the mobile element in each of the extreme positions.
