Drive Running Time

The individual running times for the blind / roller shutter can be determined very well with a stopwatch.

If the running times to be set are too short to be measured with the stopwatch, first set an approximate value. Test the behavior of the drive or of the slats by means of positioning commands (for blind only). If the desired positions are not fully reached, correct the running times upwards. If the positions are overshot, correct the running times downwards. Check your corrections with new positioning commands. Perform multiple tests, as the small deviations only become visible or detectable after several motions.

In addition to the aforementioned deviations, environmental factors (temperature, rain, etc.) also cause deviations in the motion behavior of the drives. Since the drives cannot signal their current position and the current position is always calculated, the channel cannot detect these deviations. In order to be able to continue to position the drive accurately, it is helpful to return the drives to a fixed starting position by means of regular reference movements. In this way you can achieve satisfactory positional accuracy for a long time.

Further information can be found in the section Calibration.

The factory setting for the running time is 2 minutes, with up and down movement parameterized the same.

This duration is required for the drive to move from one end position (blind / roller shutter is fully open or fully closed) to the opposite end position. After the set running time, the relay of the corresponding channel is automatically switched off (even if the drive has not yet reached its end position with the values set here). If necessary, check whether the drive manufacturer has provided information about running times.
