  • Publication number: 20230024400
    Abstract: An electromechanical actuator for driving a movable closure or sun protection screen includes a motor, a control board, a gear reduction assembly and a connector for connecting to a power supply source. The connector includes eight electrical contacts, the connector being in particular an RJ45 connector, for supplying power to the actuator and transmitting data from an Ethernet network. The motor is a synchronous motor including a wound stator and a rotor with permanent magnets, the stator winding being designed to withstand a voltage of 46V to 57V, in particular a voltage of 48V.

  • Patent number: 9742210
    Abstract: Remote control device comprising a generator (PVU) intended to convert light or mechanical energy to electrical energy, a wireless transmitter (RF) able to send messages to a remote receiver, a first electrical energy storage element (C1) connected to the energy generator (PVU) and intended to be charged with the electrical energy generated by the generator (PVU) in order to supply power to the wireless transmitter (RF) in a first operating mode of the control device, and a second electrical energy storage element (C2) intended to supply power to the wireless transmitter (RF) in a second operating mode. The second electrical energy storage element is connected to the generator (PVU) via parallel connection of a first resistor (R1) and a first diode (D1), the cathode of the first diode being connected to the positive terminal of the generator (PVU).

  • Patent number: 8643322
    Abstract: A home automation actuator (100) comprising a motor (101) for maneuvering a mobile element in a building, a command receiver (108), a control unit (110), a single output converter (120), at least one switching member (104) intended to supply power to the motor, characterized in that the switching member and the input of a regulator (150) are directly connected to the output of the converter whereas the control unit and the command receiver are connected to the output of the regulator and that it comprises a control means (139) for controlling a first reduced level of the output voltage of the converter, which can be activated by the control unit, this first reduced level being lower than a minimum voltage for activating the switching member.
