Definitions

• the upper physical end position is first approached, the motor current being measured and used as a criterion for reaching this end position. After that If the upper end position is actuated further, only a slightly lower end position is reached, which is below the physical level, in order to avoid unnecessary stresses in the system.
• the known control includes a key with which the programming of an arbitrary end position, which lies between the physical lower end position and the normally driven upper end position. The user actuates this "set” button and then stops and by pressing the relevant command button for the up or down movement of the roller shutter at the gewillkürten point.
• This known Rollladengurtwickler additionally contains a "set” button for storing a time at which a desired driving movement of the roller shutter is repeated. To program this time, the user first actuates the "Set” button for the time programming and then starts with the command key for the travel movement for the roller shutter shell. Within the controller, this sets a counter to a predetermined value, which is determined by the clock included in the control clock ⁇ counted back to zero ⁇ , or counted up from zero to a limit. Once the limit in question has reached zero or the other limit, depending on the implementation, the move command is executed again. The counter is implemented such that the clock pulses of the controller's internal clock count up or down the register for exactly 24 hours.
• each two separate counting registers or clocks are provided. These counting registers are realized by software in the program of the control.
• Each new time setting thus automatically overwrites a previous time setting, i. in the known control, only a downward and an upward movement can be set repeatable within 24 hours. However, within these times, the user can open or close the roller shutter without altering the clock by a corresponding operation of the respective command button the roller shutter.
• Another aspect is the simple, intuitive operability to allow the user to perform the programming even if the manual has been lost in the meantime and the controller programming, for example because of a Power failure, has lost.

• the user is acknowledged that the pressing of the command key was long enough for the controller to note the programming request.
• the control device will thus repeat the respective travel command every 24 hours from this point in time.
• Such programming can be carried out with the roller shutter door opening command key and the shutter shutter closing command button.
• the programming of a gewillürten end position is done in the new control device by first the roller shutter in the desired direction in which the gewillkürte end position is set in motion. After the roller shutter is in motion, depending on the embodiment of the controller, the same command key is pressed again or the command key for the opposite direction. This further actuation of a command key switches the signal display in a first operating state and thus gives the user to understand that now another pressing of one of the command keys will determine the position of the desired end position.
