Abstract: Disclosed is a sliding window for a building, including a frame, an opening member and a motorized drive device. The device includes an electromechanical actuator, a flexible element and a pulley for winding the flexible element. The pulley is rotated by an output shaft of the actuator. One end of a first strand of the flexible element connects to a first portion of the pulley. One end of a second strand of the flexible element connects to a second portion of the pulley. The pulley and the output shaft have the same axis of rotation. The device also includes a first angle transmission mechanism engaging the first strand, so as to guide the first strand relative to the first portion of the pulley, and a second angle transmission mechanism engaging with the second strand, so as to guide the second strand relative to the second portion of the pulley.

Abstract: A method for configuring a motorized drive device for a solar protection home automation unit includes a step of triggering the rolling-up of a screen from an unrolled position, in which the screen is relaxed, towards a rolled-up position. This method further includes a step of measuring a magnitude of an electrical current passing through an electric motor using a measurement device, a step of determining a first maximum value of the measured magnitude, indicative of a position of breakage of the arms of a screening device, and a step of determining a lowered end-of-travel position of the screen. The lowered end-of-travel position of the screen corresponds to a measured-magnitude value lower than the first maximum value. The lowered end-of-travel position of the screen lies before the position of breakage of the arms of the screening device, in the direction of unrolling of the screen.

Abstract: A method for configuring a motorized drive device for a closure or solar protection unit including: placing of the motorized drive device in a configuration mode; first movement of a screen towards its unwound position, by activation of the motorized drive device; automatic determination of a low end-of-travel position of the screen; movement of the screen towards its wound position, by activation of the motorized drive device; second movement of the screen towards its unwound position, by activation of the motorized drive device; and stopping of the motorized drive device at the low end-of-travel position of the screen determined during the automatic determination step. The step including the automatic determination of the low end-of-travel position of the screen includes a sub-step for measuring the value of the electric current passing through the electric motor, performed by the measurement device, and a sub-step for determining a variation in the measured value.
