Abstract

In a multiple barrier movement operator environment (Fig. 2), one switch module (339) for controlling all of the barrier movement operators. The switch module (339) may be mounted for convenient and communicates with the barrier operator either wirelessly or through a wired interface. The switch module (339) controls and operates movement of any barrier singly while controlling the operation of the overhead light and response inhibit modes of all the barrier operators. A stop button (239) also maybe provided to enable all the barrier operators to discontinue movement of their respective barriers.

Claims (20)

1. A system for controlling a plurality of barrier movement operators, comprising:
a plurality of barrier operators, each for controlling the position of a respective barrier;
a wall control unit responsive to user interaction for transmitting a plurality of barrier control signals comprising a first control signal for directing barrier position control by one of said barrier operators and a second control signal for directing barrier control by more than one of the barrier operators.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first and second barrier control signals comprise radio frequency transmissions.
3. The system of claim 1, wherein the first and second barrier control signals comprise coded signals.
4. The system of claim 3, wherein each barrier operator comprises a controller for learning coded signals.
5. The system of claim 3, wherein the coded signals comprise rolling code signals.
6. The system of claim 5, wherein each barrier operator comprises a controller for learning rolling code signals.
7. The system of claim 6, wherein the controller includes an operating mode for recognizing previously learned rolling code signals.
8. The system of claim 1, wherein the wall control unit transmits the barrier control signals over a wired connection between the wall control unit and the barrier operator.
9. The system of claim 8, wherein the wall control unit includes a signal decoder to determine the identity of the barrier operator intended to receive the barrier control signal and for routing the control signal to the determined barrier operator.
10. The system of claim 1, further comprising a passive infrared detector for detecting movement within a predetermined area.
11. The system of claim 10, wherein the passive infrared detector communicates wirelessly with one or more of the barrier operators.
12. The system of claim 10, wherein an overhead light is illuminated upon the passive infrared detector identifying movement.
13. The system of claim 1, wherein the wall control unit includes at least two buttons that when pressed substantially simultaneously activate additional functions of one or more barrier operators.
14. The system of claim 13, wherein an additional function is illumination of an overhead light.
15. The system of claim 13, wherein an additional function is activation of response inhibit mode.
16. The system of claim 13 wherein the additional function is activation of a learn mode by one or more barrier operators.
17. The system of claim 1, wherein the wall control unit further comprises a universal stop button for directing all of the barrier movement operators to cease movement of their respective barriers.
18. The system of claim 13, wherein in a rolling code system, the wall control responds to the pressing of two buttons that substantially simultaneously transmits two signals indicative of the identities of the buttons without changing the roll code.
19. The system of claim 1, further comprising a handheld transmitter for controlling barrier movement operation.
20. The system of claim 16, mare than one barrier operator controller updates a learned rolling code in response to a signal transmitted from the wall control unit.
