A servicing and monitoring system for monitoring a gate member which is moved by a drive apparatus. The servicing and monitoring system includes a drive control unit which actuates the drive apparatus, a detection device which detects a gate status of the gate member, a first data connection which connects the drive control unit and the detection device and via which a status signal of the gate member is transmitted from the detection device to the drive control unit, and a data reading device which reads the status signal sent from the detection device to the drive control unit and which outputs an alarm signal depending on the status signal read by the data reading device.
