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.
