Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2634358A1] The device has a motor (1) i.e. electrical tubular motor, for driving a closure element (2) i.e. roller shutter. A sensor detects a drive state of the closure element and produces a drive detection signal. A drive controller controls the motor and detects collision events based on the drive detection signal during driving the motor. The drive controller executes a collision avoidance routine during detecting the collision events, and decides whether an obstacle freeing routine is executed based on the drive detection signal during the collision avoidance routine. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for obstacle detection during driving a shading device and a protection device (2) a computer program comprising instructions for performing a method for obstacle detection during driving a shading device and a protection device.
