Abstract:
A windowlift control system for controlling movement of a window of a vehicle, the system comprising:a DC brush motor constructed and arranged to cause movement of the window up and down, and electronics integral with the motor constructed and arranged to control the motor to selectively move the window up and down, the electronics including: analog obstruction signal input constructed and arranged to receive an analog obstruction signal from an obstruction sensor, associated with the window, that directly senses an obstruction in a travel path of the window, digital obstruction signal input constructed and arranged to receive a digital obstruction signal from an obstruction sensor, associated with the window, that directly senses an obstruction in a travel path of the window, and switch decoding inputs constructed and arranged to signal manual mode of operation of the motor to move the window in a manual up or down mode, and a one-touch mode of operation of the motor to move the window in an express up or an express down mode, whereby during the one-touch up mode of operation, the electronics is constructed and arranged to cause the motor to stop and reverse in the express up mode when the digital obstruction signal input or the analog obstruction signal input indicates that an obstruction is in a path of the upwardly moving window.
