Abstract:
1. A universal controller for an automatic door system including at least one door carried on a door frame for movement along a predetermined path of movement between open and closed positions, a drive motor for moving said door between said open and closed positions, and a plurality of sensors for monitoring variable conditions of said door and motor, with each sensor being capable of producing a signal in response to a predetermined condition, said universal controller comprising: a housing for mounting said controller in a stationary position relative to the door frame; an assembly including a processor carried by said housing for processing data operatively received from said plurality of sensors and relating to the operation of said at least one movable door, with said processor being configured to generate operational values transmitted to and controlling said drive motor, and with said assembly further including an arrangement for adjusting the operational values generated by said processor and transmitted to said drive motor; a modular harness for connecting said controller to said drive motor and to said sensors; and an apparatus operably associated with said modular harness for identifying the particular drive motor and sensors used in combination with the automatic drive system.
