  • Patent number: 8125165
    Abstract: An automatic control mechanism for a group of motorized screens in which each screen includes a load bar that is displaced according to a predefined travel and wherein the control mechanism determines a shift parameter between a first reference position of each screen and a second reference position, one of these two reference positions being a reference position common to the screens of the group. The control mechanism takes into account at least one shift parameter to obtain, following a control command, at least the alignment of the load bars that have been displaced.

  • Publication number: 20100006240
    Abstract: In a group of motorized screens in which each comprises a load bar that is displaced according to a predefined travel, the configuration method comprises a step (E250; E260) that consists in determining, for each screen of the group, a shift parameter (In, On) between a first reference position of the screen and a second reference position, one of these two reference positions being a reference position common to the screens of the group of screens. The grouped control method for a group of screens takes into account at least one shift parameter to obtain, following a control command, at least the alignment of the load bars that have been displaced. An automatic control mechanism controlling a group of screens according to the invention incorporates means of implementing a configuration method and/or a grouped control method as mentioned hereinabove.
