A motor-operated panel system includes a panel assembly (30) consisting of an elongated flexible web (40) formed of a plurality of different panels (85,86,87,88) connected end-to-end for controlling the transmission of light, heat or air through a window (75) and/or for producing different decorative scenes within a room. The panel assembly (30) is wound on substantially identical elongated and spacedly arranged hollow rollers (80,81) including an upper roller (80) which contains a reversible motor (215), gear train (230,231,232), magnetic brake (220,221) and a position sensor (310) totally within the interior of the upper hollow roller (80). The position sensor (310) serves to sense the absolute rotational position of the upper roller (80). The lower roller (81) contains a torsional spring (160) which is prewound to exert a pulling torque on the panel assembly (30), which torque is normally resisted by the magnetic brake (220,221) in the upper roller (80). The panel system is controlled remotely from a panel control (31,32) which may be wall mounted, communicating with the panel system via a data bus. Several panel systems may be controlled from a single panel control (31,32) and/or any panel system may be operable from more than one panel control (31,32). <IMAGE> |
