Controller for a door operator
First Claim
1. A door operator, comprising:
- a door driver for opening and closing a door;
a controller including a microprocessor, the microprocessor connected to and controlling the door driver;
a graphical user interface embedded in the door operator comprising a display screen with touch select input coupled to the microprocessor to display information stored in the controller and to allow the microprocessor to receive instructions selected from the display screen by a user;
a memory module coupled to the microprocessor, the memory module storing code executed by the microprocessor,wherein the microprocessor under control of the code displays to the user various menu items on the graphical user interface display and enables the user to select among the menu items using the display screen with touch select input such that the microprocessor derives a control signal; and
circuitry configured to receive the control signal from the microprocessor and to carry the control signal to the door driver.

Abstract
A door operator comprises a door driver for opening and closing a door, a controller including a microprocessor connected to and controlling the door driver, a graphical user interface comprising a display screen with touch select input coupled to the microprocessor to display information stored in the controller and to receive instructions selected from the display screen by a user, and a memory module coupled to the microprocessor and storing code executed by the microprocessor. The microprocessor under control of the code displays to the user various menu items on the graphical user interface display and enables the user to select among the menu items using the display screen with touch select input such that the microprocessor derives a control signal. Circuitry is configured to receive the control signal from the microprocessor and to carry the control signal to the door driver.
