So far, the problem arises that when manually operating doors for buildings and structures, in particular swing doors, which are equipped with electric drives, reaching the door position "CLOSED" the door due to mechanical play of the drive system and / or the back pressure of the door seals not sealing is positioned in the door frame.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, a manual door movement in the direction "DOOR CLOSED" is detected by means of a position sensor. When the powered door leaf is about to go to the "DOOR CLOSED" end position - particularly when a reversing limit of the powered system is reached - the drive system will engage and seduce the door gently - i. For example, at a slower speed - in the natural end position of the frame.

The door drive control is particularly preferably referenced after this process, whereby a consideration of the mechanical slippage or mechanical play of the drive system is corrected.

1. a) Verhindern von Zugluft,
2. b) korrektes Einrasten eines Türschnappers in ein Schließblech an der Zarge,
3. c) Reduzierung des Kraftaufwandes bei manuellem Zudrücken der Tür,
4. d) Erhöhung der Positioniergenauigkeit des Antriebes durch Korrektur des System-Schlupfes.

With particularly preferred embodiments, in particular one, several or all of the following advantages can be achieved:

1. a) preventing drafts,
2. b) correct engagement of a door latch in a strike plate on the frame,
3. c) Reduction of the effort required to manually press the door,
4. d) Increasing the positioning accuracy of the drive by correcting the system slip.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is a parallel operation of at least two modes "automatic door closer function" and the automatic mode - be it fully automatic or pulse-sequence operation - possible.

Swing door operators are used for automatic opening and subsequent closing of swing doors. Today's main application of these drives is in the public, commercial and barrier-free area. The drives usually have different operating modes such. As the automatic mode (automatic opening after pulsing and automatic closing after expired retention time) or the door closer function that can not be operated in parallel with each other, as they must be fixed by means of toggle switches on the drive or program switch on the wall. In the embodiment of the invention shown here, it is always possible to operate the modes in parallel.

1. a) kein Parallelbetrieb mit dem Automatikbetrieb möglich und somit kein automatisches Schließen der Tür, wenn diese aufgrund der geringen Selbsthemmung des Systems z. B. aufgrund von Zugluft die Endlage „Tür Zu“ ein wenig verlassen hat oder die Tür manuell geöffnet wurde und
2. b) Probleme bei der Aufhaltezeit für die Türschließerfunktion.

Disadvantages of previous solutions are in particular:

1. a) no parallel operation with the automatic mode possible and thus no automatic closing of the door, if this due to the low self-locking of the system z. B. due to drafts the end position "door closed" has left a little or the door was opened manually and
2. b) Problems with the retention time for the door closer function.

The advantageous embodiment of the invention enables the independent parallel operation of the modes automatic operation and door closer function. Furthermore, separate and different hold times for the automatic mode and the door closer function can be set.

1. a) Tür schließt sich wieder automatisch, wenn diese aufgrund der geringen Selbsthemmung dieser Antriebssysteme die Endlage „Tür Zu“ ein wenig verlassen hat.
2. b) Tür schließt wieder automatisch, wenn diese manuell geöffnet wurde.
3. c) Parallelbetrieb der Betriebsarten Automatik-Betrieb und Türschließer-Funktion. Sinnvoll, wenn z. B. behinderte mit nicht behinderten Personen in einem Haushalt leben. Die behinderte Person nutzt den Automatikbetrieb und die nicht behinderte Person öffnet die Tür manuell. In beiden Fällen schließt die Tür automatisch nach der Aufhaltezeit.

The particularly preferred embodiment provides one, several or all of the following advantages

1. a) Door closes automatically again, if it has left the end position "door closed" a little due to the low self-locking of these drive systems.
2. b) Door closes automatically again if opened manually.
3. c) Parallel operation of the automatic operation and door closer function modes. It makes sense, if z. B. disabled with non-disabled people living in a household. The disabled person uses the automatic mode and the non-disabled person opens the door manually. In both cases the door closes automatically after the hold time.

According to a further embodiment and / or a further aspect of the invention, separate stopping times for the automatic mode and the operating modes "automatic door closer function" and push & go are created.

Swing door operators are used for automatic opening and subsequent closing of swing doors. The current main application of these drives is in the public, commercial and barrier-free area. The drives usually have different operating modes such. For example, automatic mode (automatic opening after pulsing and automatic closing after expired holding time), the push & go function or the door closer function, which are always operated with the same stopping times. In the solution proposed here according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, there are several different stopping times for the operating modes.

With door drives available on the market so far, there is only one standard retention time. The door is open in all modes with automatic closure for the same length, although the drive the door z. B. after a push & go command or after a manual door opening could often close faster again. If Push & Go mode is deactivated and the door closer function is activated, a shorter hold time is also useful.

An advantageous embodiment of the invention allows depending on the mode setting different hold times.

1. a) Lange Aufhaltezeit im Automatikbetrieb, da die Türöffnung z. B. per Funkbefehl aus etwas größerer Entfernung zur Tür eingeleitet wird.
2. b) Kürzer Aufhaltezeit im Push&Go Betrieb, da der Öffnungsvorgang durch das Anstoßen der Tür ausgelöst wird und man sich bereits an der Tür befindet und ggf. sogar mit dem Erreichen der Türendlage Auf die Tür bereits durchschritten hat.
3. c) Kurze Aufhaltezeit bei der Türschließer-Funktion, da sich die Tür nach kurzer Zeit wieder automatisch schließen kann, wenn diese aufgrund der geringen Selbsthemmung dieser Antriebssysteme die Endlage „Tür Zu“ ein wenig verlassen hat.

Features and / or advantages of preferred embodiments of the invention are, for example:

1. a) Long hold time in automatic mode, as the door opening z. B. initiated by radio command from a little greater distance to the door.
2. b) Shorter holding time in Push & Go mode, since the opening process is triggered by the door being pushed open and you are already at the door and may have even passed through the door when you reach the door end position.
3. c) Short hold time for the door closer function, as the door can automatically close again after a short time if it has left the end position "door closed" slightly due to the low self-locking of these drive systems.

In 1 is a building door that can be driven automatically on request 10 in the form of a swing door 12 with door drive 14 shown.

The building door 10 has one here as a rotary wing 16 trained wings 18 and a frame 20 ,

The rotary wing 16 is by means of door hinges or door hinges 22 around a lateral vertical axis 24 turning pivotally on the frame 20 hinged. The wing 18 is, as is well known in the case of room doors or other building doors, with a door handle 26 equipped for manual actuation of a door lock, not shown. By pressing the door handle 26 can be a (not shown) Türschnäpper from its closed position on a (not shown) strike plate of the frame 20 pull out so the wing 18 to open manually.

For optional automatic actuation is the door drive 14 provided, which is a door drive housing 28 and a motor-driven door drive arm 30 having. There are different types of mounting possible. For example, the door drive housing 28 on the wing 18 be mounted, with the free end of the door drive arm 30 stationary in the area of the frame 20 is connected. Shown is an example of a mounting method where the Door drive housing 28 stationary in the area of the frame 20 is attached, and a free end of the door drive arm 30 on the wing 18 connected.

Also, different ways of connecting the door drive arm 30 are conceivable. In the example shown is a slide rail 32 provided on or in the one free end of the door drive arm 30 upon movement of the door drive arm 30 can slide. Another, not shown here drive is a so-called Knickarmgestänge, the door drive arm 30 forms a first rod member which is hingedly connected to a second rod member, which in turn is connected to its other end.

These aforementioned types of installation are in door drives 14 for swing doors 12 well known and will not be explained here.

The door drive 14 has an input device for inputting the selected mounting mode. For example, via an operator interface 50 in the course of a device of the door drive 14 one of several possible types of installation are selected. Possible types of installation are, for example 1) installation of the door drive 14 on the door leaf or 2) installation of the door drive 14 on the frame 20 and a) connection by means of a slide rail 32 or b) connection by means of the articulated arm and i) mounting on the hinge side (which in 2 downward facing side) or ii) mounting on the opposite hinge side (which in 2 upward facing side) as well as any combinations such as 1.ai, 1.a.ii, 1.bi, 1.b.ii, 2.ai, 2.a.ii, 2.bi, 2.b.ii.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment, information about the position of the pivot axis 24 relative to the output shaft of the drive unit of the door drive 14 be entered.

2 shows the building door 10 in horizontal section, with the wing 18 in its closing position "DOOR CLOSED". The building door 10 is completely closed. The wing 18 abuts on (not shown) door seals, whereby the passage of draft through the building door 10 is avoided. In this final closing position is the wing 18 by the on the strike plate of the frame 20 held by attacking door flycatcher.

3 schematically shows the internal structure of an embodiment of the door drive 14 ,

The door drive 14 has an electric motor 34 on top of a door drive gearbox 36 to the door drive arm 30 is coupled by a gear, that a rotation of a motor shaft 38 of the electric motor 34 a movement of the door drive arm 30 generates and vice versa a movement of the door drive arm 30 a rotation of the motor shaft 38 of the electric motor 34 results.

To the motor shaft 38 is a position transmitter 40 connected.

The door drive gearbox 36 is form-fitting, ie substantially slip-free or provided with little residual slip, so that on the motor shaft 38 through the locator 40 a position of the door drive arm 30 connected wing 18 is detectable.

In particular, in the above-described embodiment with the input of the information about the mounting type is so a precise function between Postionsgeber or position of the motor shaft 38 and the position and / or movement of the closing edge 54 achievable.

Next, the door drive 14 a door drive control 42 for controlling the operation of the door operator 14 on.

To the door drive control 42 is one through an antenna 44 symbolized radio receiver connected, which may be a bidirectional radio transceiver, and signals from one in 1 illustrated mobile remote control 46 , in particular radio remote control, can receive.

Next is the door drive control 42 a stationary signal generator 48 (or a stationary remote control) can be connected. The signal generator 48 can, as indicated, wired or also via a radio link with the door drive control 42 be connected. The signal generator 48 is for example by means of keys from a person to operate the door drive 14 actuated.

The door drive control 42 further has a user interface 50 For example, with keyboard or selectors or slide switches, by means of which a user makes adjustments to the door drive control 42 can make.

Next, the door drive 14 a lighting 52 which can also be used as an optical signal for a user.

The door drive control 42 is at the position transmitter 40 connected to positions of the connected door leaf 18 as well as position changes.

In particular, the door drive control 42 designed such that it position and / or movement of the closing edge 54 detected. Thus, in particular, the kinetic energy of the wing 18 be captured, and a controller of a Procedure of the wing 18 in opening movement and / or closing movement may depend on the kinetic energy of the wing 18 respectively. This allows you in any position of the wing 18 limit the impact energy and optimize the door run. This is achieved in particular by entering the mounting method, as stated above.

The door drive control 42 is to the electric motor 34 connected to the electric motor for automatically driving the grand piano 18 head for.

The door drive control 42 is designed to the power requirement of the electric motor 34 capture. For example, this is the power consumption, the speed and / or the voltage or the current of the electric motor 34 recorded in order to obtain conclusions about the current force to be used. For example, as mentioned above, the rotational speed and the position can also be used to record the kinetic energy as a further variable, as a result of which the automatic control takes place.

The speed of movement is controlled so that the opening and closing speed in a high-speed operation is so fast, but the kinetic energy of the closing edge remains below a predetermined limit. Here, the path-dependent transmission ratio of the respectively provided and uniquely determined by the type of input transmission is taken into account, so that the rotational speed of the motor shaft is not constant, but is controlled according to path.

For example, the door drive control may be operated in an automatic mode to the wing 18 to move motorically between its closing end position and an open position.

Such an automatic mode can be initiated, for example, by a pulse train operation. For this purpose, a person, for example, an automatic opening of the grand piano 18 wishes, optionally the mobile remote control 46 Press or the stationary signal generator 48 actuate. This recognizes the door drive control 42 as a wish, the wing 18 automatically open or - if the door, as in 4 shown, already opened - automatically close.

The type and sequence of automatic operation can be done via the user interface 54 be selected and set. Further, for different command input types - push operation, opening command via a first stationary remote control, opening command via a second stationary remote control or opening command via mobile remote control - different lead times, hold times and / or other timing can be entered. These possibilities of setting the automatic mode are explained in more detail below.

During a motor driven movement of the wing 18 monitors the door drive control 42 in automatic mode, the power requirement of the electric motor 34. Increases the expended by the electric motor force beyond a threshold, it can be concluded that the wing 18 against an obstacle or a person drives. The door drive 14 then stop the corresponding movement and reverse this to the wing 18 at least to go back a bit. This corresponding shutdown function or reversing function works with an automatic closing movement until shortly before the in 2 Shown final closing position.

In one embodiment, it is possible to use the operator interface 50 set a so-called reversing limit, which in 5 is indicated. For example, the force switching or reversing function works on the entire closing path until the closing edge 54 of the grand piano 18 still at a predetermined adjustable distance 56 - The reversing limit - is located by their position in the closing end position. The distance is eg slightly less than 50 mm. In another embodiment, the position of the reversing limit is fixed by the manufacturer. The reversing limit can be, for example, a fixed size, for example given based on the door opening angle. For example, a reversing limit is given for example at 2 ° door opening angle.

You can with correspondingly small distance 56 assume that increasing the force when crossing the distance 56 through the stop of the wing 18 on the frame 20 or on the door seals is effected.

The distance 56 the reversing limit is preferably to be selected such that no body parts or other objects between closing wing 18 and frame 20 can be trapped.

In addition to the previously explained automatic mode is the door drive 14 but also set up the wing attached to it 18 is manually operated.

In 6 is a schematic block diagram of a possible embodiment of the door drive control 42 represented by function blocks. The corresponding indicated by the function blocks facilities can be, for example, by appropriate programming a central processor unit of the door drive control 42 realize.

The door drive control 42 has an automatic mode control 58 for controlling the door drive in automatic mode. The automatic mode control 58 can be, for example, by the remote control 46 or the signal generator 58 activate, as by an automatic mode control command 60 is indicated. The automatic mode control 58 performs the above-explained automatic mode of the door drive 14 as he is well known for door drives, by the way.

The door drive control 42 further comprises a manual operation detecting means 62 for detecting a manual operation of the building door 10 on.

The manual operation detecting device 62 monitors, for example, the position sensor 40 and detects a manual operation when changing the position of the wing, without the electric motor 34 through the door drive control 42 would have been driven accordingly.

If a manual operation is detected, for example, a manual mode control 64 activated. Preferably, the door drive control 42 by default in manual mode except by an operator via auto switch 48 or remote control an automatic mode is activated. After performing the automatic movement then the door drive control returns 42 returns to manual mode, where the manual mode control 64 is active.

The manual mode control 64 switches the electric motor 34 so de-energized that the motor shaft 38 without increased resistance by force applied to the door drive arm 30 Passively turn. This allows a user the wing 18 open manually, for example, up to the in 4 illustrated opening position. Next, the user can use the wing 18 from the in 4 Manually close the open position shown, as indicated by the arrow in 4 is indicated.

The manual mode control 64 has a closing movement detecting device 68 on, to a position transmitter 40 is connected and based on a movement of the position sensor 40 manual closing 66 of the grand piano 18 recognizes.

Next indicates the manual mode control 64 a closing end area detecting means 70 to capture if the wing 18 when closing manually in a closing end area 72 occurs near the closing end position. The closing end area 72 for example, corresponds to the distance 56 , which is set by the reversing limit.

Next indicates the manual mode control 64 a closing device 74 for automatically closing the wing 18 in his closing position.

The closing device 74 is with the closing end area detecting means 70 connected and formed so that it is detected when the wing 18 when closing manually 66 in the closing area 72 or, when the manual mode is active, not in the closing end position, but within the closing end range 72 located, the electric motor 34 such that it pulls the wing in the Schließendlage with a low moving speed, which is for example slower than a normal movement speed in the Normalbewegungsungsbereich outside the Reversiergrenze.

The wing 18 is by the closing device 74 - Similar to the automatic mode - motor in its attack against the frame 20 hazards; then the electric motor 34 switched off and reached, defined by the stop closing end position is a new reference value for a target Schließendlage in the door drive control 42 stored.

Because of this reference value is the closing end position and thus a point of movement of the wing 18 Always well known in manual mode, so that the door drive control due to the signals of the position sensor 40 can always reliably determine the door position using the reference value, even if the door drive gear 36 or the connections of the door drive arm 30 should still slip.

Thus, a play or slip within the through the engine and the door drive gear can be 36 including the connection to the driven door element.

By the closing device 74 In manual operation, a safe and comfortable closing of the building door is always possible 10 reached.

In 7 is a block diagram of the automatic mode control 58 illustrated, which is designed to perform different automatic and / or semi-automatic modes.

The door drive control 42 and in particular the automatic mode control 58 is through the server interface 50 , in particular in the course of a device during commissioning, adjustable, with different operating modes are adjustable. The operator interface 50 For example, it can be designed as a DIP switch, whereby operating modes and functions can be switched on or off by setting individual switches.

Via the user interface 50 In particular, different timing can be used t1.1 . T1.2 . T2.1 and T2.2 (If necessary, further control times) are set and stored in a memory M. Different operating times can be set for different operating modes.

In particular, different pre-warning times t1.1 and T1.2 be set. If a drive of the door leaf from a rest position in the opening or closing direction is desired, the door drive control waits 42 the pre-warning time set in each case t1.1 or T1.2 from. In this case, an optical and / or acoustic prewarning signal can be emitted.

Next, different retention times T2.1 and T2.2 set and different operating modes different retention times are assigned.

Automatic operating modes are in particular an automatic mode, which is controlled by a function block A representing an automatic operation mode control - eg a program routine with corresponding operational steps - and a pulse train operation, which is represented by a function block I representing a pulse sequence operating mode control - eg a program routine with corresponding processing steps.

In automatic mode, the automatic mode control controls 58 in response to a start signal, the electric motor such that a full opening is made and then the appropriate hold time T2.1 or T2.2 Wait until another complete closure occurs.

The stopping time T2.1 respectively. T2.2 is selected depending on the selected operating mode and depending on the start signal. It is possible, for example, different retention times T2.1 and T2.2 for different stationary signal transmitters 48 , 48a and / or it is possible to have different stopping times T2.1 and t2.2 for actuation via the stationary signal generator 48 on the one hand and an operation via the mobile remote control 46 on the other hand.

Accordingly, different prewarning times can be achieved T1.2 . t1.1 control depending on the start signal.

In the pulse train mode, the control is such that each movement is initiated by a pulse. A movement can be stopped by a second impulse, the wing 18 remains in the appropriate position. If there is no pulse output during the movement, the sash moves through to the next end position, where it stops until another pulse is received. From the closed position up, initiated a first impulse therefore an opening operation, until the wing 18 - if it is not stopped by another impulse before - reaches its opening end position. A second pulse then initiates a closing operation from the opening end position until the wing 18 - if it is not stopped by another impulse before - reaches its close end position.

The automatic mode and the pulse sequence mode are active in parallel and can be selected by each user by selecting a corresponding first or second channel K1 or K2 on the remote 48 , 48a, 46 are selected. A signal on the first channel K1 initiates an opening and closing cycle after the automatic mode, a signal on the second channel K2 gives a pulse to drive the pulse train operation.

Hold-up or early warning times t1.1 . T1.2 . T2.1 . T2.2 are then selected by the controller via which input E1 . E2 the signal input takes place. Accordingly, the different remote controls 48 , 48a, 46 be assigned different timing.

Another function is the so-called door closer function, which is provided by a function block T representing a door closer mode control - eg a program routine with corresponding process steps.

To enable automatic opening, a latch of the lock is deactivated. This can be done by a strike plate that yields by pressure, or by holding the latch in a retracted position. The door 10 is then essentially alone by the door drive 14 held in the closed position.

Is the door closer function T active, then monitors the door drive control, the position of the door to determine a door position outside the closed position. If such an open position is detected, then a preset for the door closer function stop time T2.1 or T2.2 Waited, then the door drive control performs an automatic closing of the door to the final closing position.

The door closer function T For example, a door can be opened by wind pressure or by manual operation 10 close automatically.

Another mode is the semi-automatic mode or push function, which is provided by a function block P is shown, the one Semiautomatic or push function mode control - eg a program routine with corresponding process steps - represents.

Is the push function P active, then a manual operation of the door 10 detected as shown above. However, this does not lead to the control of manual mode control 64 , it is rather deactivated with active push function, but is recognized as a start signal for an automatic movement. If you manually print the wing 18 from its closed position slightly in the opening direction, this is detected as a start signal for an opening movement, and the door drive control performs a full opening. Depending on whether the door closer function T is active or not, becomes active when the door closer function is active T a complete cycle - opening - stopping time - closing performed, or the door is moving - with the door closer function inactive, to the open position and stopping there until it is again driven in the closing direction by a pulse or a new manual push.

1. 1.) Automatikbetrieb (Tür schließt automatisch nach Ablauf der Aufhaltezeit für den Automatikbetrieb)
2. 2.) Impulsfolgebetrieb mit der Möglichkeit „Dauerauf” und „Lüftungs- bzw. Zwischenstellungen“ zu realisieren.
3. 3.) Halbautomatik (auch Push-Betrieb genannt) mit „Tür-Schließen-Funktion“ (auch AutoClose genannt) mit separater Aufhaltezeit für die Halbautomatik und die Tür-Schließen-Funktion.
4. 4.) Halbautomatik ohne „Tür-Schließen-Funktion“ mit der Möglichkeit „Dauerauf” zu realisieren.
5. 5.) Manueller Türbetrieb mit „Tür-Schließen-Funktion“ mit der Aufhaltezeit der Halbautomatik
6. 6.) Manueller Türbetrieb ohne „Tür-Schließen-Funktion“ mit der Möglichkeit „Dauerauf” und „Lüftungsstellung“ per Hand zu realisieren.

According to an embodiment of the door drive control 42 Accordingly, the following operating modes are possible and adjustable:

1. 1.) Automatic mode (door closes automatically after expiry of the hold time for the automatic mode)
2. 2.) Pulse train operation with the possibility of "permanent opening" and "ventilation or intermediate positions" to realize.
3. 3.) Semiautomatic (also called push mode) with "door closing function" (also called AutoClose) with separate hold time for the semi-automatic and the door closing function.
4. 4.) Semiautomatic without "door closing function" with the possibility to realize "continuous".
5. 5.) Manual door operation with "door close function" with the hold time of the semi-automatic
6. 6.) Manual door operation without "door closing function" with the possibility to realize "permanent opening" and "ventilation position" by hand.

• 1,2,3
• 1,2,4
• 1,2,5
• 1,2,6.

According to this embodiment, the following combination options of the different operating modes are possible:

• 1,2,3
• 1,2,4
• 1,2,5
• 1,2,6.

Preferably, a first hold time T2.1 and a second hold time T2.2 programmed in such a way that the first hold time T2.1 longer than the second stop time T2.2 is. A longer stay T2.1 eg the mobile remote control and / or the automatic mode A assigned. A shorter stop time T2.2 eg the one near the door 10 , for example, located directly on the frame stationary remote control 48 and / or the push operation P assigned. Also the door closer function T can with the short stop time T2.2 be coupled.

As a result, you can assign the operating procedures, where it can be assumed that the operator has already passed the door or will happen in a very short time, lower opening hours than operating procedures in which a later passage of the door is to be expected.

Overall, this can contribute to shorter door opening times without compromising operator comfort. This can be especially true if the door 10 more heated or more air-conditioned spaces separated from less heated or unheated or less strongly or not at all air-conditioned areas, contribute to not insignificant energy savings.

Some interesting new features of a new concept for a door drive 14 and its door drive control 42 will be briefly explained below.

A first new function is a closing function.

If you close the door manually, the door is opened again a bit, and then tightened.

This will remove the game from the door drive. In the last few millimeters or centimeters, the door is pulled by the engine even during manual operation in the lock.

This gives a better tumbler; the door is driven against the seals.

Another idea is to combine several functions. In previous door drives different functions are adjustable, but exclude each other or must be selected and adjusted accordingly.

• - Eine Automatikfunktion, wo die Tür einmal einen Öffnungsvorgang, dann eine Öffnungshaltezeit dann wieder ein Schließvorgang durchführt (ein Öffnungsimpuls reicht aus);
• - Einen Impulsfolgebetrieb wo die Tür auf einen ersten Impuls geöffnet wird und dann offenbleibt bis ein neuer Impuls erfolgt.

With the new door drive is now provided:

• - An automatic function where the door once performs an opening operation, then an opening hold time then a closing operation (an opening pulse is sufficient);
• - A pulse train operation where the door is opened on a first pulse and then remains open until a new pulse occurs.

The third function would be the so-called door closing function; here someone walks through the door manually. The door is temporarily stopped and then closes automatically again. In one embodiment of the door drive 14 This looks like a normal door closer here; a difference is the holdover time that can be set.

The keep open time leads to another idea.

You can set different hold times. Depending on whether an operation from near or far from the distance.

For example, in automatic mode, a longer open time can be set than for manual mode or in so-called push mode.

In push mode, the door is briefly triggered; the drive recognizes this and then performs an automatic operation. The manual opening and the subsequent door closer function can also be set with a correspondingly short hold-open time.

In automatic mode, for example, a button is pressed, which is a little further away from the door; Here it makes sense then to possibly hold the door longer than in the other company.

The different functions - stopping function or automatic function can be carried out by controlling with different channels.

In a remote control, for example, two different buttons for automatic operation and for holding operation are provided.

For stationary actuators with push buttons, etc., a double pushbutton can be provided with two different functions. Here, a corresponding pulse is sent on a corresponding channel, so that the door performs the different functions depending on the operation.
