Abstract
Description
L'invention a pour objet un procédé de configuration individuelle des actionneurs d'un groupe d'actionneurs disposés à distance les uns des autres, équipés chacun d'un récepteur et commandables chacun par au moins un émetteur de télécommande afin d'associer au moins un émetteur de télécommande avec au moins un actionneur.The subject of the invention is a configuration method individual actuators of a group of actuators arranged at a distance from each other, each equipped a receiver and each controllable by at least one remote control transmitter in order to associate at least one remote control transmitter with at least one actuator.
Un tel procédé est connu du document US-A- 5 453 738 qui décrit un système de commande à distance permettant à l'usager le groupement de transmetteurs envoyant des messages codés contenant des adresses et des décodeurs qui sont couplés, par un bus, et d'une pluralité d'actionneurs. Chaque décodeur comprend une mémoire programmable qui peut être chargée en tant que table d'association.Such a method is known from document US-A-5,453,738 which describes a remote control system allowing to the user the group of transmitters sending coded messages containing addresses and decoders which are coupled, by a bus, and a plurality actuators. Each decoder includes a memory programmable that can be loaded as a table of association.
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement une installation dans laquelle les actionneurs ne peuvent pas être individuellement l'objet une manoeuvre particulière, telle qu'actionnement d'un boutonpoussoir accessible au niveau de l'actionneur ou coupure de l'alimentation électrique individualisée de l'actionneur. C'est par exemple le cas d'un immeuble équipé de volets roulants motorisés logés dans des caissons équipés chacun d'un récepteur commandable au moyen d'une télécommande. Une telle installation est décrite dans le brevet FR 2 743 390. Si, dans une telle installation, on veut associer certains actionneurs avec certains boítiers de télécommande, il est soit nécessaire d'intervenir dans le caisson, soit nécessaire de réaliser cette association en usine avant l'installation. L'accès au caisson installé est généralement difficile, de telle sorte qu'on doit le plus souvent renoncer à une configuration des actionneurs une fois que l'installation est terminée.The invention relates more particularly to a installation in which the actuators cannot not be individually the object a maneuver particular, such as pressing a push button accessible at the actuator level or individual power supply cut-off the actuator. This is for example the case of a building fitted with motorized roller shutters housed in boxes each equipped with a receiver that can be controlled by means of a remote control. Such an installation is described in patent FR 2 743 390. If, in such a installation, we want to associate certain actuators with some remote control boxes, it is either necessary to intervene in the box, either necessary to make this association in the factory before the installation. Access to the installed box is generally difficult, so you have to more often give up a configuration of actuators after installation is complete.
La présente invention a pour but, par un procédé simple, de permettre la configuration individuelle des éléments d'un groupe d'actionneurs, c'est-à-dire l'association individuelle de chacun des actionneurs avec un ou plusieurs émetteurs de télécommande, sans intervention manuelle au niveau de l'actionneur.The object of the present invention is, by a method simple, to allow individual configuration of elements of a group of actuators, i.e. the individual association of each of the actuators with one or more remote control transmitters, without manual intervention at the actuator level.
Le procédé selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que, par une manoeuvre particulière, on met d'abord tous les actionneurs en état de recevoir les seuls signaux émis dans un champ de transmission réduit, qu'on approche un émetteur d'un actionneur de manière à ce qu'il reçoive les signaux émis par ledit émetteur, qu'on envoie, au moyen de l'émetteur rapproché, un signal de configuration contenant une trame d'apprentissage et d'identification de l'émetteur, que l'actionneur rétablit le champ normal de transmission entre lui-même et l'émetteur rapproché à la fin de la procédure de configuration et qu'on répète le procédé avec chaque récepteur.The method according to the invention is characterized in that, by a particular maneuver, we first put all the actuators able to receive the only signals transmitted in a reduced transmission field, that we approach a transmitter of an actuator so that it receives the signals transmitted by said transmitter, which are sent to the by means of the close transmitter, a signal configuration containing a learning frame and identification of the transmitter, that the actuator restores the normal field of transmission between itself and the close transmitter at the end of the configuration and repeat the process with each receiver.
Un tel procédé diffère essentiellement du procédé décrit dans le document GB-A 2 287 337 ayant pour but d'associer un récepteur-émetteur d'un véhicule particulier avec une porte de garage particulière. Dans ce cas, il convient seulement d'isoler le récepteur de ce récepteur-émetteur des autres boítiers de commande à distance associés à chaque actionneur de porte, pendant l'apprentissage du code émis par cette commande à distance particulière. Le rétablissement du champ initial de réception n'a pas pour but de permettre la commande de plusieurs actionneurs, c'est-à-dire de plusieurs portes de garage par une seule télécommande, mais seulement de permettre la commande de l'actionneur par la voiture à une distance suffisamment grande.Such a process essentially differs from the process described in document GB-A 2 287 337 aimed at to associate a receiver-transmitter of a vehicle particular with a particular garage door. In In this case, it is only necessary to isolate the receiver from this receiver-transmitter of the other control boxes distance associated with each door operator, during learning the code issued by this command to particular distance. The restoration of the field initial reception is not intended to allow the control of several actuators, i.e. several garage doors with a single remote control, but only to allow actuator control by car at a sufficiently large distance.
La réduction du champ de transmission peut se faire soit en affaiblissant la réception par la réduction du gain des amplificateurs des récepteurs, soit par la diminution de la puissance d'émission des émetteurs. La manière la plus simple d'envoyer un signal à tousThe transmission field can be reduced either by weakening reception by reducing the gain of the receiver amplifiers, either by reduction of the transmitting power of the transmitters. The easiest way to send a signal to everyone
les actionneurs est d'utiliser les fils d'alimentation électrique des actionneurs, en particulier d'utiliser la mise sous tension ou hors tension des actionneurs. La manoeuvre particulière pourrait ainsi être par exemple la première mise sous tension ou une séquence codée de coupures de l'alimentation. Dans le cas de volets roulants équipant un immeuble, on pourrait utiliser à cet effet le sectionneur général des actionneurs de l'immeuble.the actuators is to use the power wires electric actuators, in particular to use switching the actuators on or off. The particular maneuver could thus be by example the first power up or a sequence encoded with power outages. In the case of roller shutters fitted to a building, we could use the general disconnector for this purpose building actuators.
Du brevet GB 2 287 337, on connaít une installation dans laquelle le champ de réception d'un récepteur est réduit temporairement par la réduction du gain de son amplificateur. De la demande de brevet WO 96/06499, on connaít un procédé de transmission d'informations entre un boítier de télécommande et un actionneur consistant à rapprocher le boítier de télécommande de l'actionneur et à réduire la puissance de l'émetteur du boítier de télécommande. Dans les deux cas, on ne cherche qu'à éviter de commander intempestivement un actionneur autre que l'actionneur désiré. Il s'agit donc seulement de pallier les inconvénients d'un état de fait. Le procédé selon l'invention agit tout au contraire de façon positive pour procéder à la configuration de l'installation. Une fois cette configuration faite, le champ initial de réception des actionneurs est rétabli.From patent GB 2 287 337, there is known an installation in which the reception range of a receiver is temporarily reduced by reducing the sound gain amplifier. From patent application WO 96/06499, it is knows a method of transmitting information between a remote control unit and a substantial actuator to bring the remote control unit closer to the actuator and reduce the power of the transmitter from the remote control. In both cases, we only seek avoid inadvertently controlling an actuator other than the desired actuator. So it's just to overcome the drawbacks of a state of affairs. The process according to the invention acts on the contrary positive way to configure the installation. Once this configuration is made, the initial actuator reception field is restored.
L'invention sera mieux comprise par la description de deux exemples d'exécution.The invention will be better understood from the description of two examples of execution.
Dans le dessin annexé :
L'installation représentée à la figure 1 comprend un groupe d'actionneurs dont on a représenté seulement deux actionneurs A1, A2. Ces actionneurs sont logés dans un caisson C1, C2 et animent des produits d'occultation PO1, PO2, tels que des volets roulants. Les actionneurs A1, A2 sont alimentés par le secteur par l'intermédiaire d'un sectionneur commun S. Les actionneurs sont commandables à distance au moyen d'au moins un émetteur de télécommande ET.The installation shown in Figure 1 includes a group of actuators of which only one has been represented two actuators A1, A2. These actuators are housed in a box C1, C2 and animate products blackout PO1, PO2, such as roller shutters. The actuators A1, A2 are supplied by the sector via a common disconnector S. Les actuators are remotely controllable by means of minus one remote control transmitter AND.
L'actionneur (figure 2) comprend un récepteur à gain variable R, une intelligence I, un générateur de signaux sonores GSS et une motorisation MOT. L'intelligence I comprend, de manière conventionnelle, un calculateur, des mémoires et des interfaces. L'intelligence I est donc capable d'enregistrer des instructions et des informations obtenues par apprentissage.The actuator (Figure 2) includes a gain receiver variable R, an intelligence I, a generator of GSS sound signals and MOT motorization. Intelligence I conventionally includes a computer, memories and interfaces. Intelligence I is therefore capable of recording instructions and information obtained by learning.
Initialement, tous les actionneurs sont identiques et télécommandables par tous les émetteurs de télécommande. Or, on désire que certains émetteurs de télécommande ne commandent que certains actionneurs. En outre, il est généralement nécessaire de régler chaque actionneur individuellement, en particulier en ce qui concerne l'arrêt automatique en position enroulée et déroulée du volet roulant. Il est donc nécessaire de créer une association individuelle entre chaque actionneur et certains émetteurs, voire par un seul émetteur. Initially, all the actuators are identical and remotely controllable by all transmitters remote control. However, we would like certain transmitters of remote control only operate certain actuators. In in addition, it is usually necessary to adjust each actuator individually, especially with regard to concerns the automatic shutdown in the rolled up position and rolling shutter. It is therefore necessary to create an individual association between each actuator and certain transmitters, or even by a single transmitter.
On décrira ci-après deux exemples de configuration individuelle, c'est-à-dire d'association actionneurémetteur, correspondant à deux manoeuvres particulières.Two examples of configuration will be described below. individual, that is to say actuator-transmitter association, corresponding to two maneuvers particular.
Dans le premier exemple, la manoeuvre particulière est
une mise sous tension des actionneurs, alors que la
mémoire des codes du récepteur est vide. La procédure
d'association est la suivante :
(ordre de la télécommande = tourner dan un second sens)
(ordre de la télécommande = permuter le premier sens avec le second)
(action particulière sur l'émetteur apprendre l'identité sur l'émetteur
(command of the remote control = turn in a second direction)
(command from the remote control = swap the first direction with the second)
(specific action on the transmitter learn the identity on the transmitter
Si la manoeuvre particulière est une séquence de mise
sous/hors tension, par exemple deux coupures de secteur
consécutives, la procédure d'association est la
suivante :
(ordre de la télécommande = tourner dans second sens)
(ordre de la télécommande = permuter premier sens et second)
(action particulière sur l'émetteur) apprendre l'identité de l'émetteur
(command of the remote control = turn in the second direction)
(command of the remote control = swap first direction and second)
(specific action on the transmitter) learn the identity of the transmitter
Le retour à l'état initial, c'est-à-dire à une sensibilité normale du récepteur, peut se faire soit automatiquement, soit par une action sur le boítier de télécommande. Comme indiqué dans la seconde procédure, le retour à l'état initial peut se faire après l'écoulement d'un certain temps. Si l'actionneur est équipé d'un générateur de signaux sonores GSS, l'intelligence de l'actionneur pourra commander l'émission d'un signal sonore pour signifier que la procédure est terminée.Returning to the initial state, i.e. to a normal sensitivity of the receiver, can be done either automatically, either by an action on the remote control. As stated in the second procedure, the return to the initial state can be done after the flow of some time. If the actuator is equipped with a GSS sound signal generator, the intelligence of the actuator will be able to control beeping to signify that the procedure is finished.
La réduction du champ de transmission entre les émetteurs et les actionneurs peut également être obtenue en réduisant la puissance des émetteurs de télécommande. Ce second mode d'exécution est illustré par les figures 3 et 4. A la figure 3, on retrouve les mêmes éléments qu'à la figure 1. Lorsque les émetteurs de télécommande ET sont à une certaine distance, normale, des actionneurs A1, A2 et que la puissance de ces émetteurs est réduite de telle sorte qu'un actionneur situé en dehors du champ P ne capte aucun signal, les émetteurs de télécommande sont sans influence sur des actionneurs. Il est alors nécessaire de rapprocher une télécommande ET d'un actionneur, par exemple A1, pour que cet actionneur capte les signaux émis par l'émetteur de télécommande.Reducing the transmission field between transmitters and actuators can also be obtained by reducing the power of the transmitters remote control. This second embodiment is illustrated by Figures 3 and 4. In Figure 3, we find the same elements as in Figure 1. When the transmitters AND are at a certain distance, actuators A1, A2 and that the power of these transmitters is reduced so that a actuator located outside the P field does not pick up any signal, the remote control transmitters are without influence on actuators. It is then necessary to bring closer a remote control AND an actuator, by example A1, so that this actuator picks up the signals from the remote control transmitter.
Chaque émetteur de télécommande ET comprend une intelligence I' équipée d'un récepteur et un émetteur E comprenant un amplificateur à gain variable.Each ET remote control transmitter includes a intelligence I 'equipped with a receiver and a transmitter E comprising a variable gain amplifier.
Chaque actionneur A comprend une intelligence I comprenant un émetteur/récepteur à gain fixe et, comme dans le premier cas, une motorisation MOT et un générateur de signaux sonores GSS.Each actuator A includes an intelligence I comprising a fixed gain transmitter / receiver and, as in the first case, a MOT motorization and a GSS sound generator.
Par une manoeuvre particulière, par exemple la première mise sous tension des actionneurs au moyen du sectionneur S, les actionneurs A émettent un signal reçu par les émetteurs de télécommande et interprétés par ceux-ci comme un ordre de réduire la puissance, c'est-à-dire la portée, de leur émetteur. L'émetteur de télécommande ET devant être associé avec un actionneur A est alors approché de cet actionneur, par exemple de l'actionneur A1 comme représenté à la figure 3, et l'utilisateur émet, au moyen de cette télécommande, une trame d'apprentissage et d'identification qui n'est reçue que par l'actionneur A1. Cet actionneur reçoit la trame et enregistre le code de l'émetteur. Cet émetteur, une fois reconnu par l'actionneur A1 reçoit un ordre d'émettre à nouveau à pleine puissance. L'association est alors terminée pour cette télécommande particulière, laquelle, en outre, n'est plus capable d'émettre de trame d'apprentissage, de telle sorte qu'elle ne risque pas d'être apprise par erreur par un autre actionneur.By a particular maneuver, for example the first energizing the actuators using the disconnector S, actuators A emit a signal received by remote control transmitters and interpreted by these as an order to reduce the power, that is, the range, of their transmitter. The transmitter of remote control AND to be associated with an actuator A is then approached this actuator, for example by the actuator A1 as shown in FIG. 3, and the user transmits, by means of this remote control, a learning and identification framework which is not received only by actuator A1. This actuator receives the frames and stores the transmitter code. This transmitter, once recognized by actuator A1 receives an order to transmit again at full power. The association is then ended for this special remote control, which, moreover, is not more capable of transmitting a learning frame, so that it is not likely to be learned by error by another actuator.
Les autres télécommandes continuent d'émettre à puissance réduite, jusqu'à ce qu'elles soient associées à un actionneur par la procédure décrite.The other remote controls continue to transmit at reduced power, until combined to an actuator by the procedure described.
Dans ce second mode d'exécution, une télécommande ne peut donc être associée qu'à un seul actionneur, alors que dans le premier mode d'exécution, une télécommande peut être associée à un nombre quelconque d'actionneurs.In this second embodiment, a remote control does not can therefore be associated with only one actuator, then that in the first embodiment, a remote control can be associated with any number actuators.
