Patent ID: 8907598

Claim:
A method for operating an actuator (ACT) for manoeuvring a windable mobile element (COV) of a home automation appliance (EQU), the mobile element being able to be displaced between two extreme positions, the method comprising a first step for definition of a first angular speed setpoint (SP 1 ) of the actuator in a first docking area (ZLS 1 ) and a second step for definition of a second angular speed setpoint (SP 2 ) of the actuator in a second docking area (ZLS 2 ), the first and second angular speed setpoints being different, wherein at least one of the first and second angular speed setpoints is obtained from the definition of a first linear speed setpoint (CL 1 ) of the mobile element in the first docking area (ZLS 1 ) and/or of a second linear speed setpoint (CL 2 ) of the mobile element in the second docking area (ZLS 2 ), wherein the first and second linear speed setpoints are defined as a common or substantially common linear speed setpoint (CL) of the mobile element in the first and second docking areas, in particular as a common or substantially common linear speed setpoint of the mobile element on arrival at the extreme positions.
