Common questions
What is the Sonesse 30 RS485 24V DC motor used for?
Part 1241144 is a compact Somfy tubular motor for small-diameter roller shades and projection screens. It talks over an RS485 wired bus, which suits wired control networks such as Somfy Digital Network. Its low profile hides inside headrails, cassettes and tight pockets.
What torque, speed and tube size does it take?
Somfy rates the 1241144 at 2 Nm of torque and 25 rpm, with a noise level of 47 dB. It fits tubes with an inside diameter of 1.13 in or larger, and its electronic limits cover up to 125 turns.
What power and wiring does it need?
It runs on 24V DC, with an operating range of 21.6 V to 26.4 V and a rated current of 0.725 A. The motor has a 0.82 ft, 5-conductor cable that ends in a Weidmüller connector for power and RS485 data.
Which control systems work with it?
Somfy lists the 1241144 as compatible with Somfy Digital Network (SDN) and animeo IP systems. RS485 is two-way, so the system can send commands to the motor and read back its status. Third-party automation systems can integrate through the same bus.
Is there a wireless version of this motor?
Yes. The Sonesse 30 RTS 24V DC (1241142) shares the same 2 Nm platform and adds a built-in RTS receiver, so it pairs with Somfy RTS remotes and wall switches. This RS485 model takes its commands over the wired network.
Which crowns, drives and brackets fit it?
This page lists the RollEase 1.5 in Crown and Drive (9020674), the Sonesse 30 Crown and Drive Kit for RollEase 2 in tubes (9021017) and the Motor Adaptor Plate for RollEase SkyLine and ZMC XL brackets (9016378). Match the set to your tube and bracket system.
