Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of remote control, wireless and radio frequencies, actuators for the operation of closing equipment and / or sun protection and screens in the building. More specifically, the invention relates to a control method of an electrically powered actuator driving a movable element and an installation for carrying out the method.
- the patent US 3,699,522 relates to a radio locomotive remote control system. If for a period of one and a half seconds no order is received or only an incorrect order is received, then the locomotive is stopped urgently.
- the patent US 6,359,399 discloses a remote control installation, comprising a transmitter comprising a plurality of control buttons, and a receiver. As indicated in column 5, lines 33-48, activation of the actuator by the receiver takes place as long as the latter receives a signal, and on its side the transmitter transmits said signal as long as the user presses a signal. control button.
- a problem related to radio transmission is the possibility of interference producing poor reception of an emitted signal.
- the designers are obliged to provide a delay for securing the reception: a receiver considers that the signal has really disappeared if no reception takes place during the delay of this delay.
- the shutdown reaction time of the actuator is greater than its activation time.
- the mobile remote control is for example provided with three buttons up, stop and down command.
- the up and down control keys, or motion control keys may have dual operation. A very brief pulse on the Up key is interpreted as a movement command to the up position. Once this order is issued and received, the actuator raises the Venetian blind and stops either because the blind has reached a high limit or because a stop command has been issued by the transmitter, more pressing the Stop key by the user. In such a case, the reaction time is the same for the beginning of movement and the end of movement: it is the interpretation and execution time of the command received by the receiver.
- the transmitter transmits the command as long as the command key is pressed, and the receiver activates the actuator, for example with a mode reduced speed feed, as long as he receives the signal.
- This action allows the pivoting movement of the Venetian blades, whose orientation has a very strong impact on the visual comfort situation.
- it is precisely at the moment when the user finds that he is in the desired situation, and therefore releases the control key, that the reaction time is increased because of the securing delay.
- the disadvantageous effect of the stop reaction time is thus the most sensitive in the operating phases in orientation or in adjustment mode, in which an important precision is desired.
- the object of the invention is to improve known devices and methods.
- an object of the invention is to allow a faster and homogeneous reaction of the actuators for maneuvering.
- the remote control method according to the invention is defined by claim 1.
- control installation according to the invention is defined by claim 6.
- the figure 1 shows a block diagram of an operating method corresponding to the state of the art.
- the figure 2 represents send frames.
- the figure 3 represents a block diagram of the method according to the invention.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B represent two control frames according to two embodiments of the invention.
- the figure 5 represents an INS installation in which the method according to the invention is implemented.
- FIGs 1 and 2 specify a method corresponding to the prior art, in particular used by the applicant in the products using the communication protocol "Radio Technology Somfy” (trademark).
- the left part of the figure corresponds to the transmission method of the transmission unit TRU, whereas the right part of the figure corresponds to the reception method of the reception unit RCU.
- the horizontal arrows indicate actions of the user, in the second case, the horizontal arrows indicate a modification in the reception of the radio signal.
- a first action of the UA1 user is to press a command key.
- this action is detected by the WCU alarm control unit which activates the closing of the contact SW and causes the power supply of the processing means.
- a second step 202 the microcontroller establishes which command must be transmitted, depending on the key pressed. For example, pressing the UP key should cause a UPC command to be issued, pressing the ST key should cause an STC command to be issued, pressing the DN key should cause the transmission of a DNC command. Combinations of supports can cause the emission of other commands, listed in the microcontroller.
- the command to be transmitted is transmitted to the radio frequency transmitter RFU and is transmitted using the antenna ANT.
- step 203 the process of this transmission is repeated periodically, as long as the key is pressed.
- the figure 2 represents the successive transmission of frames, containing the UPC rise command.
- a frame also includes other data, such as the identifier of the issuer, an authentication code, etc.
- the frames are separated by a short time interval, or by a special sequence allowing synchronization of the reception means.
- a second action of the user UA2 is to release the control key.
- This action has the effect of stopping step 203 and start a step 204 in which it stops feeding the processing means.
- the broadcast ceases immediately.
- it is not essential to instantly cut the power of the microcontroller: indeed, the probability of a new action of the user is large immediately after a first action. We can continue for example the power supply (or waking) of the microcontroller for a few seconds or tens of seconds before switching to low-power sleep mode.
- the program lasted 8 frames. Each frame lasts for example 140 ms.
- the duration of a broadcast could as well be 50 frames or more.
- the method of the prior art is described from a first radio action RF1 corresponding to a start of radio signal reception, causing the passage to step 211 in which this signal is processed so as to ability to interpret the command received.
- the actuator is activated according to the command received, for example the motor is energized in the direction causing the rise if it is a UPC command.
- each new signal frame is reinterpreted and the activation is maintained as long as the signal is received.
- the receiver maintains the activation if it continues to receive frames of functional content identical to the first.
- a second radio action RF2 corresponds to the disappearance of the radio signal, either entirely or because the content is altered and the signal has become incomprehensible, which normally constitutes an end of reception.
- step 214 is activated, in which a delay for securing reception is started.
- This delay has a duration DLN representing the duration of N emission frames. For example, it is accepted that 3 consecutive frames may be "lost" due to interference.
- next step 215 if the signal reappears in the DLN delay interval, and if it is the same command (for example UPC), then the receiver considers that there has been continuous transmission and continues the action in progress. Otherwise the actuator is deactivated after the delay.
- the same command for example UPC
- the receiver would cause the activation of the actuator to stop after the fourth frame. And as long as a support corresponding to two frames, at most, is interpreted as a "brief support" as described in the introduction, the last two UPC frames of the figure 2 would be at the origin of the interpretation of a new order, that of going to the high position at nominal speed, while they belong instead to the same sequence of frames of the same orientation command (for example at reduced speed).
- the effect of the securing delay is to increase the reaction time of the receiver by the "normal" disappearance of the signal. So, in the case of the figure 2 , the actuator will be activated for a duration TUA + DLN while pressing the key has lasted TUA.
- the invention overcomes this drawback by combining two operating modes which are a priori excluded, that of the control by change of state, in which the command is only issued when the key state changes, and that of the previously maintained control.
- the invention consists in providing in the receiver the means for implementing a method making it possible at the same time to cause the actuator to stop on receiving a specific command, different from the stop command, but also to cause the shutdown of the actuator if the control signal is not received for a duration greater than the duration of a safety delay.
- the specific command is issued by the transmitter upon release of one of the motion control keys.
- the installer or the user may be required to make support combinations: for example, simultaneous pressing on the keys "Stop” and “Climb” can mean learning a particular position, for example end of course. Since the key release is not absolutely synchronous, the receiver may be programmed to ignore the appearance of a brief "Stop” command following the current command.
- the specific command refers to the motion control corresponding to the support that has just been released. Indeed, this reference allows the receiver to verify that the information "end of order" related to the specific command relates to the flow of frames running, not a new command that would have appeared during a time interval where the end receipt of the previous command would have been scrambled.
- a first specific control embodiment is therefore to take an available code associated with each motion control code. For example, if the operational part of a command is coded on 3 bits, we will have: 000: X 100: Y 001: Stop (STC) 101: Prog 010: Climb (UPC) 110: Downhill (DNC) 011: Stop-Rise 111: Stop-Down
- X and Y are available codes.
- the Prog code is used to issue a pairing command and / or switch to special programming mode.
- the Stop-Up and Stop-Down codes are issued when these two buttons are pressed simultaneously to indicate specific position setting operations. All you need to do is assign the X code to the specific release command of the Up key, and the Y code to the specific command to release the Down key.
- the code of the specific command issued is therefore deduced from the motion control key corresponding to the support that has just been released.
- the receiver it is possible to identify the relationship between the specific command and the previously received motion command and thus to ensure that the specific command belongs to the same frame stream as those containing the motion command. running.
- FIG. 4A there is shown a mounted control frame (F11) followed by a specific support control frame released (F12).
- the first frame F11 contains the code of the UPC mounted command.
- the frame also contains other data, such as an ID. This frame is repeated by the transmitter as long as the UP climb control key is activated.
- the second frame F12 contains the code X, which has the same format as the UPC code, for example coded on 3 bits. This second frame is emitted one or more times after releasing the UP key.
- a second specific control embodiment consists in providing that, in the transmission frame, a bit is assigned to the pressed or released state of the key.
- This solution is simpler in the case where it is desired to maintain compatibility with older systems: the control codes are unchanged, but, in a frame longer than before, a flag or bit of support is placed at the same time. high when the key is pressed, while the frame is re-transmitted one or more times with the same command but this support bit is set low when the key is released.
- the specific command is not identical to the command that has just been issued, but contains it.
- the first frame F21 contains the code of the UPC mounted command.
- the frame also contains other data, such as an ID.
- the frame also contains an SB bit associated with the command code.
- the SB bit is in state 1 because the control key is activated. This frame is repeated by the transmitter as long as the UP climb control key is activated.
- the second frame F22 contains the bit SB at state 0. This second frame is transmitted one or more times after releasing the UP key.
- the support bit SB is a bit added to the original frame or a bit available inside this frame.
- a particular advantage is that of the recognition of brief supports, even in parasitized situations. For example, if the receiver only receives a frame with the command code "Y" (or a frame with the DNC code with a low support bit in addition), it can interpret this reception as resulting from a brief press on a descent key having caused the issuance of one or two "DNC" commands and a specific command, but for which an interference masked the "operational" commands. Nevertheless, the residual information is sufficient to correctly interpret the order received.
- step 304 the specific command RLC is defined as has been specified above. This step does not occur systematically, but at least for the motion control keys.
- Step 305 of repeating the specific command is optional, but desirable for dealing with disturbed environments.
- the specific command it is transmitted in the same frame format as the UPC and DNC motion commands or the STC stop command.
- the transmitter must be equipped with the software means necessary for the development of this specific command, for example in the form of a computer program, and the receiver must be equipped with the software means necessary for the interpretation of this command, also under the form of computer program.
- the figure 5 represents an INS installation in which the method according to the invention is used.
- the nomadic remote control transmitter is a TRU transmission unit comprising a KBU control keyboard, a CPU microcontroller and a RFU radio-frequency transmitter, provided with an ANT transmission antenna.
- the KBU keyboard comprises three control keys such as a UP key, a ST stop key and a DN descent key, acting for example on electrical contacts, not shown.
- the keyboard is connected to the microcontroller CPU by a first bus BUS1.
- the microcontroller is connected to the RFU transmitter by a second bus BUS2.
- the mobile remote control transmitter is powered by a BAT battery, whose negative pole is connected to the GND electrical ground of the TRU transmission unit.
- the KBU keyboard is also connected, using the first BUS1 bus, to a WCU alarm control unit, the purpose of which is to activate the processing means constituted by the microcontroller CPU and by the radio-frequency transmitter RFU when a key on the keyboard is pressed.
- this unit causes the closing of a switch SW connecting the positive pole of the battery BAT to the positive supply wire VDD means of treatment.
- the positive pole of the battery BAT is therefore permanently connected only to the positive supply wire VCC of the keyboard and the WCU alarm control unit.
- control unit is included in the same integrated circuit as the microcontroller or acts on a wake-up signal from the microcontroller and / or the transmitter rather than on their diet.
- the transmitter can also be awakened in a second time by the microcontroller.
- the signal emitted by the antenna ANT constitutes a radio wave or RFW signal, which is picked up and interpreted by a reception unit RCU, which drives an actuator ACT.
- the reception unit is connected to the 230 V 50 Hz alternating sector or to another source of electrical energy, not shown.

Cependant un problème lié à la transmission radio est la possibilité d'interférences produisant une mauvaise réception d'un signal émis. De ce fait, les concepteurs sont obligés de prévoir une temporisation de sécurisation de la réception : un récepteur considère que le signal a réellement disparu si aucune réception n'intervient pendant le délai de cette temporisation.However, a problem related to radio transmission is the possibility of interference producing poor reception of an emitted signal. As a result, the designers are obliged to provide a delay for securing the reception: a receiver considers that the signal has really disappeared if no reception takes place during the delay of this delay.
Ainsi, le temps de réaction d'arrêt de l'actionneur est plus important que son temps de mise en activation.Thus, the shutdown reaction time of the actuator is greater than its activation time.
Un tel comportement pose problème lors la commande d'orientation d'un store vénitien, par exemple. La télécommande nomade est par exemple munie de trois touches de commande Montée, Stop et Descente. Les touches de commande Montée et Descente, ou touches de commande de mouvement, peuvent avoir un double fonctionnement. Une impulsion de très brève durée sur la touche Montée est interprétée comme un ordre de mouvement vers la position haute. Une fois cet ordre émis et reçu, l'actionneur remonte le store vénitien et s'arrêtera soit parce que le store a atteint une fin de course haute, soit parce qu'un ordre d'arrêt aura été émis par l'émetteur, suite à l'appui sur la touche Stop par l'utilisateur. Dans un tel cas, le temps de réaction est le même pour le début de mouvement et la fin de mouvement : c'est le temps d'interprétation et d'exécution de la commande reçue par le récepteur.Such behavior is problematic when controlling the orientation of a Venetian blind, for example. The mobile remote control is for example provided with three buttons up, stop and down command. The up and down control keys, or motion control keys, may have dual operation. A very brief pulse on the Up key is interpreted as a movement command to the up position. Once this order is issued and received, the actuator raises the Venetian blind and stops either because the blind has reached a high limit or because a stop command has been issued by the transmitter, more pressing the Stop key by the user. In such a case, the reaction time is the same for the beginning of movement and the end of movement: it is the interpretation and execution time of the command received by the receiver.
Par contre, lors d'un appui prolongé sur la touche de commande Montée, le fonctionnement désiré est différent: l'émetteur transmet la commande tant que la touche de commande est enfoncée, et le récepteur active l'actionneur, par exemple avec un mode d'alimentation à vitesse réduite, tant qu'il reçoit le signal. Cette action permet le mouvement de pivotement des lames du vénitien, dont l'orientation a un très fort impact sur la situation de confort visuel. Or c'est justement au moment où l'utilisateur constate qu'il est dans la situation voulue, et donc relâche la touche de commande, que le délai de réaction est augmenté du fait de la temporisation de sécurisation.On the other hand, during a long press on the Up command key, the desired operation is different: the transmitter transmits the command as long as the command key is pressed, and the receiver activates the actuator, for example with a mode reduced speed feed, as long as he receives the signal. This action allows the pivoting movement of the Venetian blades, whose orientation has a very strong impact on the visual comfort situation. However, it is precisely at the moment when the user finds that he is in the desired situation, and therefore releases the control key, that the reaction time is increased because of the securing delay.
Paradoxalement, l'effet désavantageux du temps de réaction d'arrêt est donc le plus sensible dans les phases de fonctionnement en orientation ou en mode de réglage, dans lesquelles une précision importante est souhaitée.Paradoxically, the disadvantageous effect of the stop reaction time is thus the most sensitive in the operating phases in orientation or in adjustment mode, in which an important precision is desired.
Il existe donc un problème de réduction du temps de réaction pour de tels systèmes quand ils sont dans un mode de fonctionnement de réaction à l'émission continue d'un signal, dont la durée d'émission correspond à la durée de manoeuvre souhaitée d'un actionneur.There is therefore a problem of reducing the reaction time for such systems when they are in a mode of operation of reaction to the continuous emission of a signal, whose transmission duration corresponds to the desired operating time of an actuator.
Ainsi, le but de l'invention est d'améliorer les dispositifs et procédés connus.Thus, the object of the invention is to improve known devices and methods.
Plus particulièrement, un but de l'invention est de permettre une réaction plus rapide et homogène des actionneurs permettant la manoeuvre.More particularly, an object of the invention is to allow a faster and homogeneous reaction of the actuators for maneuvering.
Ce but est atteint par l'objet des revendications.This object is achieved by the subject of the claims.
Le procédé de commande à distance selon l'invention est défini par la revendication 1.The remote control method according to the invention is defined by
Différents modes d'exécution du procédé selon l'invention sont définis par les revendications dépendantes 2 à 5.Different embodiments of the method according to the invention are defined by the dependent claims 2 to 5.

L'invention sera mieux comprise par la description de modes d'exécution de celle-ci et des figures annexées dans lesquellesThe invention will be better understood by the description of embodiments thereof and the appended figures in which

La partie gauche de la figure correspond au procédé d'émission de l'unité de transmission TRU, tandis que la partie droite de la figure correspond au procédé de réception de l'unité de réception RCU. Dans le premier cas, les flèches horizontales indiquent des actions de l'utilisateur, dans le second cas, les flèches horizontales indiquent une modification dans la réception du signal radio.The left part of the figure corresponds to the transmission method of the transmission unit TRU, whereas the right part of the figure corresponds to the reception method of the reception unit RCU. In the first case, the horizontal arrows indicate actions of the user, in the second case, the horizontal arrows indicate a modification in the reception of the radio signal.
Une première action de l'utilisateur UA1 est d'appuyer sur une touche de commande. Dans une première étape 201, cette action est détectée par l'unité de contrôle de réveil WCU qui active la fermeture du contact SW et provoque l'alimentation des moyens de traitement.A first action of the UA1 user is to press a command key. In a
Dans une deuxième étape 202, le microcontrôleur établit quelle commande doit être transmise, en fonction de la touche appuyée. Par exemple, un appui sur la touche UP doit provoquer l'émission d'une commande UPC, un appui sur la touche ST doit provoquer l'émission d'une commande STC, un appui sur la touche DN doit provoquer l'émission d'une commande DNC. Des combinaisons d'appuis peuvent provoquer l'émission d'autres commandes, répertoriées dans le microcontrôleur.In a
La commande à émettre est transmise à l'émetteur radio-fréquences RFU et est émise à l'aide de l'antenne ANT.The command to be transmitted is transmitted to the radio frequency transmitter RFU and is transmitted using the antenna ANT.
A l'étape 203, le processus de cette émission est répété périodiquement, tant que la touche est actionnée. A titre d'exemple, la
Une deuxième action de l'utilisateur UA2 est de relâcher la touche de commande. Cette action a pour effet de faire cesser l'étape 203 et d'engager une étape 204 dans laquelle on cesse d'alimenter les moyens de traitement. Par ces termes, il faut comprendre que l'émission cesse immédiatement. Bien entendu, il n'est pas indispensable de couper instantanément l'alimentation du microcontrôleur : en effet, la probabilité d'une nouvelle action de l'utilisateur est grande immédiatement après une première action. On peut donc poursuivre par exemple l'alimentation (ou l'éveil) du microcontrôleur pendant quelques secondes ou dizaines de secondes avant de passer en mode de sommeil basse consommation.A second action of the user UA2 is to release the control key. This action has the effect of stopping
Sur la
Pour le récepteur RCU, le procédé de l'art antérieur est décrit à partir d'une première action radio RF1 correspondant à un début de réception de signal radio, provoquant le passage à l'étape 211 dans laquelle ce signal est traité de manière à pouvoir interpréter la commande reçue. A l'étape 212, l'actionneur est activé selon la commande reçue, par exemple le moteur est alimenté dans le sens provoquant la montée s'il s'agit d'une commande UPC.For the RCU receiver, the method of the prior art is described from a first radio action RF1 corresponding to a start of radio signal reception, causing the passage to
A l'étape 213, chaque nouvelle trame de signal est à nouveau interprétée et l'activation est maintenue tant que le signal est reçu. Par ces termes, il faut comprendre que le récepteur maintient l'activation s'il continue à recevoir des trames de contenu fonctionnel identique à la première.At
Une seconde action radio RF2 correspond à la disparition du signal radio, soit en totalité, soit parce que le contenu est altéré et que le signal est devenu incompréhensible, ce qui constitue normalement une fin de réception. Dans ce cas, l'étape 214 est activée, dans laquelle est lancée une temporisation de sécurisation de la réception. Cette temporisation a une durée DLN représentant la durée de N trames d'émission. Par exemple, il est admis que 3 trames consécutives peuvent être "perdues" du fait d'un brouillage.A second radio action RF2 corresponds to the disappearance of the radio signal, either entirely or because the content is altered and the signal has become incomprehensible, which normally constitutes an end of reception. In this case,
A l'étape suivante 215, si le signal réapparaît dans l'intervalle de la temporisation DLN, et s'il s'agit bien de la même commande (par exemple UPC), alors le récepteur considère qu'il y a eu émission continue et poursuit l'action en cours. Sinon l'actionneur est désactivé à l'issue de la temporisation.In the
Si cette précaution de temporisation n'était pas prise, et qu'on se trouve dans la situation de la
Cependant, l'effet de la temporisation de sécurisation est d'augmenter d'autant le temps de réaction du récepteur lors de la disparition "normale" du signal. Ainsi, dans le cas de la
L'invention remédie à cet inconvénient en combinant deux modes de fonctionnement qui sont a priori exclus, celui de la commande par changement d'état, dans laquelle la commande est seulement émise lors d'un changement de l'état de la touche, et celui de la commande maintenue précédemment décrite.The invention overcomes this drawback by combining two operating modes which are a priori excluded, that of the control by change of state, in which the command is only issued when the key state changes, and that of the previously maintained control.
Dans le cas des commandes à changement d'état, il est en soi connu d'utiliser le relâché d'une touche pour provoquer une action particulière, voire émettre une commande. Dans le brevet
L'invention consiste à prévoir dans le récepteur les moyens de mise en oeuvre d'un procédé permettant à la fois de provoquer l'arrêt de l'actionneur sur la réception d'une commande spécifique, différente de la commande d'arrêt, mais aussi de provoquer l'arrêt de l'actionneur si le signal de commande n'est pas reçu pendant une durée supérieure à la durée d'une temporisation de sécurité.The invention consists in providing in the receiver the means for implementing a method making it possible at the same time to cause the actuator to stop on receiving a specific command, different from the stop command, but also to cause the shutdown of the actuator if the control signal is not received for a duration greater than the duration of a safety delay.
La commande spécifique est émise par l'émetteur lors du relâché d'une des touches de commande de mouvement.The specific command is issued by the transmitter upon release of one of the motion control keys.
Il est utile que la commande spécifique soit différente de la commande d'arrêt: en effet, en mode de programmation, l'installateur ou l'utilisateur peuvent être amenés à effectuer des combinaisons d'appui : par exemple un appui simultané sur les touches "Stop" et "Montée" peut signifier l'apprentissage d'une position particulière, par exemple de fin de course. Comme le relâché de touche n'est pas absolument synchrone, le récepteur est éventuellement programmé pour ignorer l'apparition d'une brève commande "Stop" suivant la commande en cours.It is useful that the specific command is different from the stop command: in fact, in programming mode, the installer or the user may be required to make support combinations: for example, simultaneous pressing on the keys "Stop" and "Climb" can mean learning a particular position, for example end of course. Since the key release is not absolutely synchronous, the receiver may be programmed to ignore the appearance of a brief "Stop" command following the current command.
De manière préférée, la commande spécifique fait référence à la commande de mouvement correspondant à l'appui qui vient d'être relâché. En effet, cette référence permet au récepteur de vérifier que l'information "fin de commande" liée à la commande spécifique concerne bien le flux de trames en cours d'exécution, et non pas une nouvelle commande qui serait apparue pendant un intervalle de temps où la réception de fin de la commande précédente aurait été brouillée.In a preferred manner, the specific command refers to the motion control corresponding to the support that has just been released. Indeed, this reference allows the receiver to verify that the information "end of order" related to the specific command relates to the flow of frames running, not a new command that would have appeared during a time interval where the end receipt of the previous command would have been scrambled.
Un premier mode de réalisation de commande spécifique est donc de prendre un code disponible, associé à chaque code de commande de mouvement. Par exemple, si la partie opérationnelle d'une commande est codée sur 3 bits, on aura :
X et Y sont des codes disponibles. Le code Prog sert à l'émission d'une commande d'appariement et/ou de passage en mode spécial de programmation. Les codes Stop-Montée et Stop-Descente sont émis lors de l'appui simultané sur ces deux touches, pour indiquer des opérations de réglage de positions particulières. Il suffit alors d'affecter le code X à la commande spécifique de relâché de la touche Montée, et le code Y à la commande spécifique de relâché de la touche Descente.X and Y are available codes. The Prog code is used to issue a pairing command and / or switch to special programming mode. The Stop-Up and Stop-Down codes are issued when these two buttons are pressed simultaneously to indicate specific position setting operations. All you need to do is assign the X code to the specific release command of the Up key, and the Y code to the specific command to release the Down key.
Au niveau de l'émetteur, le code de la commande spécifique émise se déduit donc de la touche de commande de mouvement correspondant à l'appui qui vient d'être relâchée. De même, au niveau du récepteur, il est possible d'identifier la relation entre la commande spécifique et la commande de mouvement précédemment reçue et donc de s'assurer que la commande spécifique appartient au même flux de trames que celles contenant la commande de mouvement en cours d'exécution.At the transmitter, the code of the specific command issued is therefore deduced from the motion control key corresponding to the support that has just been released. Similarly, at the receiver, it is possible to identify the relationship between the specific command and the previously received motion command and thus to ensure that the specific command belongs to the same frame stream as those containing the motion command. running.
Dans la
Un deuxième mode de réalisation de commande spécifique consiste à prévoir que, dans la trame d'émission, un bit est affecté à l'état appuyé ou relâché de la touche. Cette solution est plus simple dans le cas où il est souhaité conserver la compatibilité avec des systèmes plus anciens : les codes de commande sont inchangés, mais, dans une trame plus longue que précédemment, un indicateur ou bit d'appui est placé à l'état haut quand la touche est appuyée, alors que la trame est ré-émise une ou plusieurs fois avec la même commande mais ce bit d'appui est placé à l'état bas quand la touche est relâchée. Ainsi la commande spécifique n'est pas identique à la commande qui vient d'être émise, mais contient celle-ci.A second specific control embodiment consists in providing that, in the transmission frame, a bit is assigned to the pressed or released state of the key. This solution is simpler in the case where it is desired to maintain compatibility with older systems: the control codes are unchanged, but, in a frame longer than before, a flag or bit of support is placed at the same time. high when the key is pressed, while the frame is re-transmitted one or more times with the same command but this support bit is set low when the key is released. Thus the specific command is not identical to the command that has just been issued, but contains it.
Dans la
Un tel choix permet d'augmenter considérablement le pouvoir de discrimination du récepteur, autrement dit de diminuer son temps de réaction, tout en conservant avantageusement le principe de la temporisation de sécurisation de la transmission.Such a choice makes it possible to considerably increase the discrimination power of the receiver, in other words to reduce its reaction time, while advantageously preserving the principle of the delay of securing the transmission.
Un avantage particulier est celui de la reconnaissance d'appuis brefs, même en situation parasitée. Par exemple, si le récepteur reçoit uniquement une trame comportant le code de commande "Y" (ou une trame comportant le code DNC avec en complément un bit d'appui à l'état bas), il peut interpréter cette réception comme résultant d'un appui bref sur une touche de descente ayant provoqué l'émission d'une ou deux commandes "DNC" et d'une commande spécifique, mais pour laquelle un brouillage a masqué les commandes "opérationnelles". Malgré tout, l'information résiduelle suffit à bien interpréter la commande reçue.A particular advantage is that of the recognition of brief supports, even in parasitized situations. For example, if the receiver only receives a frame with the command code "Y" (or a frame with the DNC code with a low support bit in addition), it can interpret this reception as resulting from a brief press on a descent key having caused the issuance of one or two "DNC" commands and a specific command, but for which an interference masked the "operational" commands. Nevertheless, the residual information is sufficient to correctly interpret the order received.
Dans le cas d'appui prolongé, le maintien d'une temporisation de sécurisation, y compris sur les trames contenant la commande spécifique d'appui relâché, permet de faire face aux situations de brouillage décrites par la
Le procédé selon l'invention est donc décrit à la
Pour l'émetteur TRU, il en diffère par les étapes 304 et 305. Dans l'étape 304, la commande spécifique RLC est définie comme il a été précisé plus haut. Cette étape n'intervient pas de manière systématique mais au moins pour les touches de commande de mouvement.For the TRU transmitter, it differs in
L'étape 305 de répétition de la commande spécifique est optionnelle, mais souhaitable pour faire face aux environnements perturbés.Step 305 of repeating the specific command is optional, but desirable for dealing with disturbed environments.
Pour le récepteur RCU, l'étape 313 diffère de l'étape 213 de l'art antérieur en ce que l'arrêt de l'alimentation de l'actionneur a une double origine :
- soit la non réception du signal
- soit la réception d'une commande spécifique, différente d'une commande d'arrêt.
- either the non reception of the signal
- the receipt of a specific command, different from a stop command.
Cependant, les étapes suivantes 314 et 315 précisent bien que la non-réception du signal ne provoque l'arrêt que si celle-ci se prolonge pendant une durée supérieure à celle d'une temporisation de durée DLP couvrant une ou plusieurs trames d'émission, par exemple 3 trames.However, the following
Dans les deux modes de réalisation de la commande spécifique celle-ci est transmise selon un même format de trame que les commandes de mouvement UPC et DNC ou que la commande d'arrêt STC. De ce fait, aucun dispositif matériel supplémentaire n'est nécessaire sur l'émetteur, ni sur le récepteur par rapport aux dispositifs de l'art antérieur pour émettre ou recevoir les trames contenant la commande spécifique. Par contre, l'émetteur doit être équipé des moyens logiciels nécessaires à l'élaboration de cette commande spécifique par exemple sous la forme de programme informatique, et le récepteur doit être équipé des moyens logiciels nécessaires à l'interprétation de cette commande, également sous la forme de programme informatique.In both embodiments of the specific command it is transmitted in the same frame format as the UPC and DNC motion commands or the STC stop command. As a result, no additional hardware devices are required on the transmitter or on the receiver relative to the devices of the prior art to send or receive the frames containing the specific command. On the other hand, the transmitter must be equipped with the software means necessary for the development of this specific command, for example in the form of a computer program, and the receiver must be equipped with the software means necessary for the interpretation of this command, also under the form of computer program.

L'émetteur nomade de télécommande constitue une unité de transmission TRU comprenant un clavier de commande KBU, un microcontrôleur CPU et un émetteur radio-fréquences RFU, muni d'une antenne d'émission ANT. Le clavier KBU comprend trois touches de commande comme une touche de montée UP, une touche d'arrêt ST et une touche de descente DN, agissant par exemple sur des contacts électriques, non représentés. Le clavier est raccordé au microcontrôleur CPU par un premier bus BUS1. Le microcontrôleur est raccordé à l'émetteur RFU par un deuxième bus BUS2. L'émetteur de télécommande nomade est alimenté par une pile BAT, dont le pôle négatif est raccordé à la masse électrique GND de l'unité de transmission TRU.The nomadic remote control transmitter is a TRU transmission unit comprising a KBU control keyboard, a CPU microcontroller and a RFU radio-frequency transmitter, provided with an ANT transmission antenna. The KBU keyboard comprises three control keys such as a UP key, a ST stop key and a DN descent key, acting for example on electrical contacts, not shown. The keyboard is connected to the microcontroller CPU by a first bus BUS1. The microcontroller is connected to the RFU transmitter by a second bus BUS2. The mobile remote control transmitter is powered by a BAT battery, whose negative pole is connected to the GND electrical ground of the TRU transmission unit.
Le clavier KBU est également raccordé, à l'aide du premier bus BUS1, à une unité de contrôle de réveil WCU, dont le but est d'activer les moyens de traitement constitués par le microcontrôleur CPU et par l'émetteur radio-fréquences RFU lorsqu'une touche du clavier est enfoncée. Dans le montage de la
Dans des variantes de réalisation, connues de l'homme du métier, l'unité de contrôle est incluse dans le même circuit intégré que le micro-contrôleur ou encore agit sur un signal de réveil du microcontrôleur et/ou de l'émetteur plutôt que sur leur alimentation. L'émetteur peut aussi être réveillé dans un deuxième temps par le microcontrôleur.In variant embodiments, known to those skilled in the art, the control unit is included in the same integrated circuit as the microcontroller or acts on a wake-up signal from the microcontroller and / or the transmitter rather than on their diet. The transmitter can also be awakened in a second time by the microcontroller.
Le signal émis par l'antenne ANT constitue une onde radio ou signal RFW, qui est capté et interprété par une unité de réception RCU, laquelle pilote un actionneur ACT. L'unité de réception est reliée au secteur alternatif 230 V 50 Hz ou à une autre source d'énergie électrique, non représentée.The signal emitted by the antenna ANT constitutes a radio wave or RFW signal, which is picked up and interpreted by a reception unit RCU, which drives an actuator ACT. The reception unit is connected to the 230 V 50 Hz alternating sector or to another source of electrical energy, not shown.
