A method of configuring a control unit (CPU) of an actuator (ACT) including a motor (MOT) for operating a movable element (COV) of a home automation equipment item (INST) of closure, privacy, sun protection or screening, which comprises:

Method of configuring a control unit of an actuator

The learning method is one which comprises an action of the installer having at least as consequences the ending of the powering of motor controlling the translational movement of the slats in the direction of extending, if this movement is in progress, and/or the initialization of a motor displacement amplitude or activation time counter, and, so long as this action is maintained; the powering of a motor for controlling the orientation displacement of the slats of the screen, the incrimentation of the counter, then when this second action ceases; the recording of the value of the counter in a register for storing a data relating to the total orientation travel, the powering of the motor controlling the translational moment of the slats in the direction of retracting, if the action has not brought an end to a translational movement of the slats in the direction of extending.

Learning method for a motorized screen with orientable slats and device therefor

The configuration method for an installation comprising solar protection and/or lighting devices controlled by a central unit comprising a memory, microprocessor and a user interface, is characterized in that method comprises an iteration, over all of the solar protection and/or lighting devices, and comprises a parameterization step that includes phases of entry and recording of data defining the exposure of the opening fitted with the solar protection device with respect to the sun, entry and recording of data defining the type of device, and entry and recording of data defining the maximum desired depth of penetration of the sun into the building, and/or the sought visual comfort. The method further comprises a calculation step whereby for each device, coefficients for a control algorithm and/or a control algorithm, intended to control the device, are calculated.
