Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for controlling a remote-controlled actuator comprising at least two issuers each with their own identity number unique and unchanging and capable of signaling consisting of a frame containing the identity number and an order, a receiver capable of extracting signal received ID number and order, a logical unit processing unit (ULT) comprising a memory intended for store at least one identity number, one microprocessor capable of working in a mode operational in which it compares the number of identity received with the identity numbers contained in memory to execute the order received when the identity number received corresponds to a number of identity contained in memory and a mode in which he is able to ensure registration of the issuer's identity number in memory and external means of placement of the microprocessor in recording mode.
  • ULT logical unit processing unit
  • Such a device is known from US Pat. No. 4,750,118, in particular for controlling a door actuator garage.
  • the external means of placing the microprocessor in recording mode consist of a switch box fitted with two manual switches, one for setting the microprocessor in recording mode and the other to choose memory boxes in which are stored identity numbers of a certain number of transmitters.
  • the switches of the switch box For any registration of a transmitter number in receiver memory it's therefore necessary to manipulate the switches of the switch box as well as the transmitter whose identity number is to be memorized.
  • the actuator Whenever we wants the actuator to be able to be controlled distance by a new transmitter or as desired erase an identity number in the memory of the receiver, it is therefore necessary to manipulate the switch box associated with the receiver. Now this is not always possible given access sometimes very difficult for the receiver after installation, as is the case, for example, of shutter boxes rolling in a building.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the known devices.
  • the object of the present invention is more particularly to allow the configuration at will of a network of remote controls comprising at least two transmitters and one receiver associated with an actuator, reducing to minimum the need to have access to the receiver.
  • the control device is characterized in that at least one transmitter is associated a means of putting in recording mode the microprocessor, so that by means of a issuer whose identity number is known to the receiver it is possible to put the microprocessor in recording mode for recording the identity number of another issuer.
  • the microprocessor also contains a timer initialized by external means of placement of the microprocessor in recording mode.
  • the recording program upon receipt an identity number for the duration of the timer, ensures the comparison of the identity number received with the numbers identity stored in memory and the memorization of the identity number received if the memory does not does not already contain such an identity number.
  • the program also erases the memory ID number if it results from the comparison that this number is already present in the memory.
  • the program may contain a test which prevents this erasure if the memory contains only one identity number.
  • the means for placing the microprocessor in recording mode transmitters and / or receiver include a push button.
  • Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a device according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows the flowchart of the procedure erasing or storing the identity number of a transmitter.
  • the control device has at least two wave transmitters 10, 20 each having a number unique identity, factory engraved for example, a receiver 30 and a logic processing unit 40 containing a microprocessor 43.
  • the waves emitted by the transmitters 10, 20 can be electric waves like radio frequencies or optical waves.
  • Each transmitter 10, 20 is equipped with an interface user with entries 11, 12, 13, 21, 22, 23 allowing a user to order an action determined when the unit's microprocessor 43 processing logic 40 is in operational mode.
  • external means 14, 24 in the form of push buttons, for example, or some other equivalent means are provided on transmitters 10 and 20. These pushbuttons can be protected and accessed by a simple procedure, for example removing a housing clipped.
  • both transmitters 10 and 20 each have such a means exterior 14, 24. It is indeed sufficient that at least one of transmitters includes such a means.
  • the action, by a user, on one of the inputs 11, 12, 13, 21, 22, 23 or on the push button 14 or 24 causes the transmission of a signal comprising a frame which contains the identity of the activated transmitter and a code corresponding to the input activated.
  • the receiver 30 is capable of extracting from the transmitted wave by receivers 10, 20 this frame composed of transmitter ID number 10 or 20 and code corresponding to the button pressed on this transmitter by the user.
  • This code can therefore be that of one inputs 11, 12, 13 or 21, 22, 23 or even that of push button 14 or 24 placing the microprocessor in recording mode.
  • the logic processing unit 40 which is capable to interpret the frame supplied by the receiver 30 to its input 41, further includes a ROM read-only memory 44 containing the unit operating program processing logic 40, a read only memory reprogrammable EPROM 31 to store the number identity of transmitters 10, 20.
  • the logical unit of processing 40 is connected to an interface power 50 driving an actuator, for example the motor of a roller shutter 51, depending on the order controlled by the user.
  • a means 45 making it possible to place the microprocessor in recording mode is still connected to the logic processing unit 40.
  • This means 45 can be a push button, for example, and it's mainly used during initial setup device service, when no ID number transmitter has not yet been stored in the EPROM 31. This plea can also be deleted.
  • a transmitter comprising such a means placing the microprocessor in recording mode is assigned to a receiver already in the factory and its identity number is memorized during the construction of the device. When it is put into service for the first time, it will only be no more need to store a first number of identity.
  • Processor 43 is programmed to compare the number of the sender received with the numbers stored in EPROM memory 31 and in case of correspondence numbers, the order received is executed. If the order received corresponds to the code of one of the entries 11, 12, 13 or 21, 22, 23 transmitters 10 or 20, the microprocessor stays in operational mode and commands the order on the output 42 of the logic processing unit 40, by example of raising or lowering the roller shutter 51. If the order received corresponds to the push button code 14 or 24, then the microprocessor goes into mode recording in which he is capable register an issuer identity number in the EPROM memory 31 or to erase it from this memory.
  • the EPROM memory 31 of the logic processing unit 40 is empty and the receiver is still accessible, having not yet been enclosed in a box or in a false ceiling, by example.
  • User action on the push button 45 of the controller places the microprocessor in recording mode, which triggers a timeout during which the number identity of an issuer is expected. If no transmitter did not manifest itself by the emission of a frame containing an identity number during this timeout, a duration of 5 seconds for example, the procedure ends and the microprocessor returns to mode operational.
  • the microprocessor 43 of the logic processing unit 40 compare the identity number received with the identity numbers already stored in the EPROM 31. During a first installation, if no number identity is in memory, the microprocessor will therefore record the identity number of the first transmitter in memory 31.
  • the microprocessor 43 then erases the memory identification number 31 corresponding to the identity number of the activated transmitter and this transmitter is thus forgotten by the device ordered.
  • the microprocessor program 43 Before initiating the erasure procedure, it is possible to test first if the identity number received is the last present in memory 31 or not. Yes this is the case, the microprocessor program 43 can then prevent this erasure so the number identity of at least one issuer is always in memory.
  • control device Once the control device is installed, and particular from the moment the receiver is not more accessible to the user, it is always possible to store the identity number of a new transmitter or a transmitter whose number previously deleted from memory 31 using an already known transmitter to place the microprocessor 43 in recording mode.
  • the action by a user on the push button 14 of the transmitter 10 known to the receiver will initialize the procedure shown in Figure 2.
  • the device command can then learn the identity of the second transmitter 20 as described above. So similar, the identity of a third transmitter may be learned by first or second issuer, as long as these are already known to the receiver.
