Abstract: A programmable wall station system for controlling automated coverings includes at least one automated covering adapted to receive command signals, and a computer which includes a processor and a computer connection port. The processor is programmed to receive location input, position input for the automated coverings, schedule input, and generate scheduled events based on any of the received input. A wall station includes a controller and a station connection port that is linkable to the computer connection port. The controller is programmed to receive scheduled events from the processor when the station connection port and computer connection port are linked to one another and generate command signals based on the scheduled events for receipt by the automated covering to control its operation.

Abstract: An uninterruptible power source (UPS) for supplying power to a barrier operator when mains power has failed is disclosed. The UPS includes a UPS controller for detecting and responding to a mains power failure and capable of generating a plurality of control signals. A backup power source and an up-converter is connected to the UPS controller, wherein the up-converter increases the voltage of the backup power source when needed. A switch is responsive to one of the plurality of control signals of the UPS controller and toggles the operator barrier between the up-converter and the mains power source, and awakens the operator via a standby receiver power line. Another embodiment awakens the operator anytime a UPS receiver receives a preamble of a wireless transmission signal. Auxiliary lighting may also be associated with the UPS and/or photo-electric safety devices.

Abstract: An internal entrapment system (10) for a door (12) movable by a repeatable force includes a force generating device (68) for transferring the door (12) between a first and a second position. A trolley arm (34) connected between the force generating device (68) and the door (12) is continually strained during movement of the door (12). A sensor (50) mounted on the trolley arm (34) generates a signal (54) representative of the strain applied to the trolley arm (34). A processor (72) receives the strain signal (54) for comparison to a predetermined threshold, when the strain signal (54) exceeds the predetermined threshold, the processor (72) at least stops the force generating device (68). A potentiometer (74) is coupled to the door (12) for determining a plurality of positional locations of the door (12) between the first and the second positions, wherein the processor (72) correlates the position of the door (12) with the strain signal (54) for use in comparison to the predetermined threshold. A power supply (64) provides electrical power to the force generating device (68), the sensor (50), the processor (72), and the potentiometer (74), and a decoder/amplifier circuit (70), which also receives electrical power from the power supply (64) and receives the strain signal (54) for conversion into a format acceptable for use by the processor (72).

Abstract: A multiple barrier control system includes a plurality of barrier operators configured to move associated access barriers between limit positions. Each of the barrier operators are enabled to communicate with one or more local transmitters. The local transmitters may maintain an all-close button, an all-open button, and an all-stop button, which are associated with corresponding functions maintained by the barrier operators. Upon the actuation of one of the buttons, the associated function is simultaneously carried out by each of the associated barrier operators. Additionally, a portable network control may invoke the simultaneous control of functions at each of the barrier operators via an associated communication network. Moreover, scenes may be created wherein the barrier operators and other accessories, such as lights and appliances, may be moved or actuated to a desired status upon actuation of a scene button on either the local transmitter or the portable network control.
