[0001] The present invention relates to a door system for one or more doors. The door system according to the invention comprises at least one motorized door drive. The door drive comprises a motor and a drive controller for controlling the motor of the door drive.
[0002] Motorized door drives are well-known in the art. These door drives have a drive controller. The drive controller serves to control the motor so that the motor moves a door leaf to open or close a door. For this purpose, the drive controller is connected to a signal generator, such as a handset or a sensor, whose signal the drive controller uses to activate the motor. Furthermore, the drive controller can operate in various modes, such as automatic or manual operation. However, it is complex to integrate state-of-the-art door drives into complex functional sequences or complex door-opening decisions.
[0003] US6084267 A discloses a system consisting of a higher-level and a local control system for door drives. The higher-level control system allows environmental conditions to be taken into account when controlling the door. US 2003 / 033388 A1 also discloses a door with a higher-level and a local control system.
[0004] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a door system with a door drive that enables complex functional sequences and / or complex decisions.
[0005] The object of the invention is achieved with a door system according to claim 1. Advantageous developments of the door system are specified in the subclaims, in the description, and in the drawings. The features mentioned in the description and in the claims may be essential to the invention individually or in combination.
[0006] According to the invention, the door system comprises a control unit which is connected to the drive control.
[0007] The fact that the door system includes an additional control unit increases its electronic intelligence. This enables the door system to make more complex decisions. Especially when the door system includes additional door components, the control unit makes it possible to map more complex functional sequences.
[0008] The control unit is designed, in particular, as an electronic control unit. The control unit preferably comprises an electronic processor. The control unit preferably comprises at least one electronic memory.

[0011] Preferably, the drive controller and the control unit are connected to each other via information technology. Thus, the connection is designed as a connection via which electronic messages can be exchanged.
[0012] The drive controller and the control unit can be electrically connected to one another. The drive controller and the control unit are preferably connected to a first bus system. This establishes the connection between the drive controller and the control unit. A connection to a bus system is understood below to mean a direct connection, so that a component connected to the bus system is to be regarded as a participant in the bus system with its own bus address. The first bus system can be, in particular, a communications bus. The first bus system can be a wired bus. The first bus system can be a field bus, e.g., a CAN bus.
[0013] According to the invention, the door drive is a sliding door drive, a swing door drive or a revolving door drive.

[0018] It can be provided that the control unit is configured to transmit an operating status of the door system via the second bus system. Preferably, the control unit transmits the operating status to the processing unit. The operating status is stored electronically, in particular, in a database of the processing unit.
[0019] The control unit may include a transmitting and receiving unit for wireless short-range communication, e.g., Bluetooth Low Energy, Wi-Fi, or NFC. Using the transmitting and receiving unit, the control unit can communicate with a mobile device, such as a mobile phone, tablet, or laptop.
[0020] Preferably, the drive controller is not connected or connectable to the second bus system. Rather, the drive controller sends an electronic message to the control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to send the content of the electronic message via the second bus system, in particular to the processing unit.
[0021] In particular, the drive controller is designed to accelerate and / or decelerate the motor so that a door is opened, stopped, and / or closed. The drive controller is preferably designed as a four-quadrant controller. Thus, the drive controller is designed to operate, in particular accelerate, the motor in one direction of rotation and in the opposite direction of rotation. Additionally, the drive controller can be designed to decelerate the motor in one direction of rotation and in the opposite direction of rotation. The motor of the door drive is preferably designed as a DC motor. It may be a brushless DC motor. Thus, the drive controller can be designed to control the motor.
[0022] It can be provided that the control unit comprises at least one processor and the drive controller comprises at least one processor, with the control unit having greater computing power than the drive controller. Thus, it is particularly provided that complex decisions are made in the control unit and / or complex functional sequences are controlled by the control unit.
[0023] The control unit preferably comprises a hardware accelerator. Particularly preferably, the hardware accelerator is designed as an accelerator for using artificial intelligence. For example, the hardware accelerator can be designed as a vision processing unit (VPI).
[0024] In addition to the door drive and the control unit, the door system preferably includes other door components.
[0025] At least one of the additional door components serves, in particular, to change the door state. The change in the door state can correspond, for example, to opening the door, closing the door, unlocking the door, locking the door, providing a state for manual unlocking and / or locking, opening, and / or closing of the door.
[0026] The door system can comprise at least one door component that generates a signal to change the door state. In particular, the signal can cause the motorized door drive to change the door state. The signal-generating door component is referred to below as a signal generator. The signal can be embodied as a message, in particular as a bus telegram.
[0027] According to the invention, the control unit is designed to evaluate, on the basis of received signals, whether the door can be opened by means of the motor.
[0028] It can be provided that the control unit is designed to evaluate, on the basis of received signals, whether the door is to be closed by means of the motor.
[0029] It can be provided that the control unit is designed to evaluate, on the basis of received signals, whether the door should be stopped by means of the motor.
[0030] According to the invention, the control unit causes the drive controller to actuate the motor based on the evaluation. For this purpose, the control unit preferably sends a message to the drive controller. For this purpose, the signal generator is preferably connected to the control unit via information technology. For example, the signal generator can be connected to the first bus system or a third bus system. The third bus system is preferably a fieldbus, in particular an RS485 bus. The control unit receives the signal, preferably the electronic message, from the signal generator and evaluates the signal, preferably the message.
[0031] Thus, it can be provided that at least part of the evaluation of the signal, in particular of the message emitted by the door components, is evaluated by the control unit.
[0032] It can be provided that the evaluation of the signal generator leads to the control unit instructing the drive control to use the motor to select only one of the options: opening the door, closing the door, or stopping the door. For example, the door component can be designed as a push button, whereby pressing the push button can open the door, but not close it or stop it.
[0033] For example, the door component that emits the signal, preferably the message, can be designed as a hazard detector, in particular a smoke detector. The hazard detector can be a single sensor or comprise a plurality of individual sensors connected to a hazard detection center, with the hazard detection center sending the signal, in particular the message, to the control unit. The hazard detector and / or the hazard detection center is preferably connected to the first bus system.
[0034] The door system can comprise at least one sensor. A signal from the sensor is used to trigger the door to open by means of the door drive. For example, the sensor can be used to detect a person or the movement of a person in a detection zone, thereby allowing the door to open. Preferably, in automatic operation of the door drive, the door opens when a person is present or moving within the detection zone. For example, the sensor can be designed as a motion sensor.
[0035] A signal from the sensor can be used to cause the door to close using the door drive.
[0036] A signal from the sensor can be used to stop the door via the door drive. For example, the sensor can be used to detect a person in a detection zone, which can then stop the door. This is particularly useful if the person is in the path of the door leaf. For example, the sensor can be designed as a safety sensor.
[0037] The sensor, in particular the motion sensor, can be connected to the control unit via information technology. The sensor is preferably connected to the first bus system. The door system is preferably configured to evaluate the sensor signals via the control unit, with the control unit instructing the drive control to actuate the motor based on the evaluation. Thus, the signal generator can correspond to the sensor, in particular the motion sensor.
[0038] The door system can be configured to receive an access attribute of an authorized user. For this purpose, the door system can comprise a detection unit. The detection unit can be configured as a transmitting and receiving unit, as a biometric sensor, as a keypad for PIN entry, and / or as a contact element for electrically contacting a key, in particular an electronic key. The access attribute can be configured as a credential or as a biometric feature of the user.
[0039] The door system may comprise at least one reader. The reader preferably comprises a detection unit. The reader comprises, for example, a transmitting and receiving unit for wirelessly receiving an access attribute, in particular a credential. The transmitting and receiving unit may be configured to communicate with a mobile terminal, in particular a mobile phone or a card, via short-range communication, in particular RFID, NFC, or Bluetooth Low Energy. The access attribute, in particular the credential, may comprise an access code and / or at least one time window within which access is authorized.
[0040] The control unit may include a transmitter and receiver unit for wireless short-range communication, e.g., Bluetooth Low Energy or NFC. This allows the control unit to also function as a reader.
[0041] The control unit is preferably configured to make an access decision for an authorized user. For this purpose, the control unit can receive the access attribute, in particular the credential, from the detection unit. For this purpose, the control unit can receive the access attribute, in particular the credential, from the reader. Thus, the signal generator can be configured as a reader or as a detection unit. The control unit can receive the access attribute, in particular the credential, via an information technology connection, in particular via the third bus system.
[0042] It is possible that, based on the access decision, the control unit causes the drive control to activate the motor, particularly to open the door.
[0043] Preferably, at least one parameter for controlling the motor is stored in the control unit. It may be provided that at least one parameter for controlling the motor is receivable by the control unit. For example, the parameter is receivable by the computing unit and / or the mobile device. The parameter may be included in the configuration.
[0044] Preferably, the control unit causes the drive control to control the motor according to the parameter.
[0045] The parameter can be used to set the opening speed of the door operated by the door drive. Additionally or alternatively, the parameter can be used to set the closing speed of the door operated by the door drive. Additionally or alternatively, the parameter can be used to set the hold-open time of the door operated by the door drive. Additionally or alternatively, the parameter can be used to set the motor power of the door drive. Additionally or alternatively, the parameter can be used to set the opening width or opening angle of the door operated by the door drive. This can take the installation location or the users of the door into account.
[0046] Additionally or alternatively, the parameter can be used to determine whether the motor should be activated depending on a user action, in particular depending on the user operating a door handle to open the door. This so-called Push&Go functionality first determines whether a user begins to open a door. Only in this case is the motor activated to open the door. Preferably, the control unit can store whether the motor should only be activated to open the door when a user begins to open the door or whether the motor should already open when the sensor detects the user.
[0047] Preferably, at least one parameter for controlling the motor is stored individually for authorized users or for authorized user groups in the door system, in particular in the control unit. This makes it possible to accommodate different users or different user groups. Thus, the parameter can be designed differently for a first authorized user than for a second authorized user. For example, the opening angle is set larger for a wheelchair user than for a walking user. In another example, the hold-open time can be set longer for an elderly person than for a young person. The authorized users can be divided into different user groups.
[0048] The control unit preferably comprises a database. In the database, at least one parameter can be assigned to different users or different user groups. The control unit can recognize the user by the access attribute.
[0049] Additionally or alternatively, the parameter can be received by the door system, in particular by the control unit, in particular as part of an access attribute. Thus, it is not necessary to store the parameter in a database of the control unit. Rather, the control unit always receives the parameter when the authorized user requests access. In particular, the access attribute includes the parameter. The access attribute is received via the detection unit, in particular via the transmitting and receiving unit. Thus, the parameter is currently recorded by the door system each time access occurs. For example, the access attribute is recorded by the reader.
[0050] Additionally or alternatively, at least one parameter for controlling the motor can be stored individually for access attributes or for access attribute groups in the door system, in particular in the control unit. The control unit preferably comprises a database in which at least one parameter is assigned to different access attributes or different access attribute groups. For example, a nurse can carry multiple cards, depending on whether the nurse is requesting access alone or with a hospital bed. Thus, multiple access attributes can be assigned to the same user.
[0051] Additionally or alternatively, the parameter may depend on the use of the access attribute. The control unit preferably comprises a database in which the parameter is linked to the use of the access attribute. The use may, for example, include a gesture in relation to the registration unit. For example, a card may be held in front of the reader for a long time or a short time. For example, the hold-open time is stored in the database as a parameter for a long card hold with a longer duration than for a short card hold.
[0052] It is preferably provided that the door system, in particular the control unit, comprises a memory, wherein firmware is stored in the memory. The memory is in particular a non-volatile electronic memory. The firmware serves to carry out at least one sequence to be carried out by the door system from a plurality of operating steps. An operating step can correspond to motorized opening, motorized closing or motorized stopping by means of the door drive. The sequence comprises a plurality of operating steps. An operating step can, for example, be designed as a motorized door opening or a motorized door closing. In this case, the operating step is carried out by a motorized swing door, sliding door drive and / or revolving door drive. The operating step can be designed as a motorized door stopping, in particular to avoid a collision with a person.
[0053] The operating step can be designed to close the door electrically by means of a door closer. The door closer can be integrated into the door drive.
[0054] The operating step can be implemented, for example, as an electrically operated door unlocking or an electrically operated door locking. In this case, the operating step is performed, in particular, by a locking element, e.g., a motor lock, a drive lock, or a door lock of an escape route security system, as a door component.
[0055] The operating step can, for example, be implemented as an electrical creation of a prerequisite for manual unlocking and / or locking. In this case, the operating step is performed, in particular, by an unlocking element, e.g., a door opener, an electromechanical locking cylinder, or an electromechanical door fitting, as a door component.
[0056] The operating step can, for example, be designed as a visual and / or acoustic display of a state of the door system. For this purpose, a display device can be provided as a door component or as part of a door component, e.g., a reader, an emergency button, an escape route control, a panic bar, a lock, or a fitting. The state to be visually and / or acoustically displayed can, for example, be an unlocked state or a locked state of the door. The state to be visually and / or acoustically displayed can, for example, be that access authorization is present or denied. The state to be visually and / or acoustically displayed can, for example, be that an alarm state exists, e.g., due to smoke detection or the actuation of an emergency button.The condition to be indicated visually and / or acoustically can, for example, be that an alarm condition exists because the door has been left open for too long.
[0057] The firmware of the control unit is preferably designed to carry out the sequence independently of the design of the motor of the door drive. This makes it possible to specify several operating steps one after the other in the firmware of the control unit. The control unit can thus specify the order in which the operating steps are to be carried out. The control unit can control the other door components involved in the sequence or send a message to the other door components, whereby the other door component carries out the next operating step. Thus, in the door system according to the invention, a distinction is preferably made between the sequence, ie when which door component has to carry out which operating step, and the motor-specific control by the drive control. The motor-specific control, ieThe power supply to the motor for opening, closing or stopping the door is carried out by the drive control, while the message, in particular the command that the motor is to be controlled to open, close and / or stop in the sequence, in particular regardless of the design of the motor, is carried out by the control unit.
[0058] At least one further door component involved in the sequence, e.g., a locking element, in particular a motor lock, or an escape route control, can comprise a control unit for performing one or more operating steps. Preferably, the control unit at least partially specifies when the operating step is to be performed in the sequence. For this purpose, the control unit preferably sends a corresponding message to the control unit.
[0059] The control unit or the drive control preferably also includes firmware for carrying out operating steps, e.g., for controlling the motor, for controlling a door lock of the escape route security system, or for electromechanically retracting a bolt of the motor lock.
[0060] It can be provided that, based on a message from the control unit, the drive control unit controls several operating steps in succession. For example, the drive control unit can control a locking element, in particular a motor lock or a drive lock, to unlock the door and then the motor to open the door.
[0061] It can be provided that, based on a message from the control unit, a control unit, for example, the escape route control, controls several operating steps in sequence. For example, the escape route control can control an electromagnetic or electromechanical door lock to unlock the door and then control a display device to indicate the status of the door lock.
[0062] The control unit can send parameters, such as a hold-open time, to control the motor in the message or command.
[0063] Preferably, the electronic configuration includes the firmware or instructions for the firmware.
[0064] The door system can specify which environmental conditions trigger which type of motor. The firmware, particularly the firmware of the control unit, can specify which environmental conditions trigger which type of motor. In particular, in the event of an emergency, it can specify whether the door should be opened or closed by the motor.
[0065] For example, in the event of a smoke alarm, the firmware can specify whether the door should be opened or closed. Furthermore, the firmware can contain at least one condition that determines when the door should be opened or closed in the event of a smoke alarm.
[0066] The door system preferably comprises a control unit and several door drives. The door drives each comprise a drive controller. Preferably, exactly one control unit is provided in each door system. The control unit, in particular, provides the information technology connection to the processing unit. The control unit can, in particular, control the process. The control unit can, in particular, decide on access authorization. After the decision on access authorization has been made, the control unit can preferably control only the door drive or only the door drives assigned to the door for which access authorization has been granted.
[0067] The control unit is preferably designed to coordinate the drive controls into a sequence. The door drives are, in particular, designed to be arranged on each door leaf of a double-leaf door and / or on door leaves of doors arranged one behind the other.
[0068] For example, the doors arranged one behind the other can form an airlock. Thus, at least one condition must be met before a door is opened by a door drive. Preferably, one condition corresponds to the other door being closed. At least one other or additional condition, such as the end of a decontamination process, can be provided. In another example, the doors arranged one behind the other can be provided in a hospital ward or in the entrance area of a store.
[0069] Preferably, the plurality of drive controls and the control unit are connected in an information technology connection, in particular to the first bus system.
[0070] Preferably, the drive controls are connected to the first bus system.
[0071] The process is stored in the firmware.
[0072] According to the invention, the door system comprises at least one locking element. The electrically actuated locking element can unlock and / or lock the door. The locking element can be designed, for example, as a motor lock, a motor-driven locking cylinder, a drive lock, or an electromagnetic or electromechanical door lock. The motor lock can be a mortise lock. The door lock can be a door lock of an escape route security system. With the drive lock, transmission from the motor to the door leaf can be blocked.
[0073] Alternatively, the locking element can be configured to transfer the door into a manually unlockable state. For example, the locking element can be configured as an electric door opener. The electric door opener can assume a state in which manual operation of the door causes the door to be unlocked and opened simultaneously, while in another state of the door opener, manual operation of the door, and thus unlocking and opening of the door, is prevented. Further examples of providing a state for manually unlocking a door can be seen in an electromechanical locking cylinder and / or an electromechanical fitting.
[0074] The locking element can correspond to a door component. The locking element can be connected to the first bus system.
[0075] According to the invention, a sequence is specified by the firmware, wherein the sequence comprises an operating step to be performed by the motor and an operating step to be performed by the locking element. By specifying the sequence in the firmware, a possibility is created to map a complex sequence, such as for a disabled toilet, without additional electrical circuits.
[0076] In this case, the drive control or the control unit may control the locking element.
[0077] Preferably, the door system comprises a motor lock, with the drive control controlling the motor lock, in particular with the motor lock being connected to the first bus system. This allows a door drive with a motor lock to be used even on doors that do not have a control unit.
[0078] The door system may include an authentication device, wherein the authentication device is configured to receive an access attribute for authentication. Preferably, the authentication device decides on access.
[0079] The authentication device can comprise the detection unit or be connected to the detection unit via information technology. For example, the control unit acts as an authentication device, with the control unit in particular being connected to at least one reader via a bus system, e.g., the third bus system.
[0080] The door system, in particular the control unit, can be designed to switch an operating mode of the door drive, in particular from automatic operation to manual operation, or vice versa, based on the access attribute and / or the type of use of the access attribute.
[0081] In automatic mode, the door operator is specifically designed to open the door when a person's approach to the door is detected by a sensor. In manual mode, the door operator will refrain from opening the door when a person's approach to the door is detected by a sensor.
[0082] Examples include a security guard leaving the building in the evening or a business owner entering their business in the morning. Based on authentication, the operating mode is preferably changed on several door drives, preferably on several door drives in the door system, and especially preferably on all door drives in the door system.
[0083] The door system, in particular the control unit, can be configured to control a door drive to open a door leaf or to control multiple door drives to open multiple door leaves based on the access attribute and / or the type of use of the access attribute. Thus, the decision is made based on the access attribute, in particular by the control unit, whether one leaf or multiple leaves are to be opened by motor. For example, for a wheelchair user or a nurse with a hospital bed, both leaves of a double-leaf door are opened by motor by the door drives of the door system, while for individual persons, only the moving leaf of the double-leaf door is opened.
[0084] The door system, in particular the control unit, can be configured to maintain or override a timing sequence for controlling a motor of a second door drive after controlling a motor of a first door drive according to a condition stored in the door system, based on the access attribute and / or the type of use of the access attribute. For example, a firefighter can be enabled to open both lock doors, while one of the lock doors is always closed during normal operation.
[0085] Different use of an access attribute can, for example, be understood as different use of the registration unit. For example, in one case, a card is held briefly in front of the reader, and in another case, it is held in front of the reader for a long time. In another case, a key is turned briefly, and in another, a key is turned for a long time.
[0086] For example, the control unit includes a database. In the database, at least one behavior can be assigned to different access attributes or different access attribute groups.
[0087] Additionally or alternatively, the desired behavior can be received by the door system, in particular by the control unit, particularly as part of an access attribute. Thus, it is not necessary to store the desired behavior in a database of the control unit. Rather, the control unit always receives the desired behavior when the authorized user requests access. In particular, the access attribute includes the desired behavior. The access attribute is received via the detection unit, in particular via the transmitting and receiving unit.
[0088] It can be provided that the firmware stores which door components of the door system that are connected to the first bus system are necessary for the process.
[0089] The door system, in particular the control unit, checks whether the door components are connected to the control unit via information technology. The control unit checks, in particular, whether the door components are connected to the first bus system or the third bus system.
[0090] If the test results are negative, the control unit may refuse to perform the test. This provides protection against faulty processes and / or tampering.
[0091] Additionally or alternatively, the door system can provide a maintenance person with at least one suggested solution. A database can be provided in the control unit or the processing unit for this purpose.
[0092] It is possible that the door system, in particular the control unit, has knowledge of the door components installed in the door system and is configured to detect changes to the installed door components. Upon detection of a change, the door system enters an electronically defined state, in particular, generating an alarm. In particular, the door system automatically enters the defined state upon the change. This provides protection against tampering.
[0093] Preferably, communication via the information technology connection, in particular via the first, second and / or third bus system, is encrypted.
[0094] The drive controller and the control unit can be arranged in a housing, with the housing, in particular, accommodating a motor of the door drive. Thus, although the control unit and the drive controller are preferably connected to each other via the first bus system, the mechanical installation of an additional housing can be omitted.
[0095] During on-site commissioning, a bus address of a door component is preferably linked to a role of the door component in the door system. The link is preferably stored in the control unit. A role is understood to be a door component type, e.g. a drive control, a motor lock, a sensor or similar. If several door components of the same door component type are present in the door system, the role also includes a position, e.g. drive control of the active leaf, motor lock of the passive leaf, reader of the first door or sensor on the second door. Because the control unit knows which bus address is linked to which role, processes can be carried out via the first and / or third bus system, in particular using firmware.If a door component type is present only once in the door system, the door component can report its door component type to the control unit, which links the door component type and thus the role to the bus address of the door component. If a door component type is present multiple times in the door system, the mobile device in particular has knowledge of a door component identifier, e.g., the bus address. An installer performing the commissioning procedure can assign a position to the identifier. To do this, the installer can learn which identifier belongs to which door component, e.g., through an acoustic or visual signal.
[0096] A door arrangement with a computing unit and / or a mobile device is also protected.
[0097] Further details and advantages of the invention will be explained below with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the figures. Technical features with the same function are provided with identical reference numerals in the figures. Herein: Fig. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a door system and a door arrangement according to the invention, Fig. 2 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a door system and a door arrangement according to the invention, Fig. 3 shows a third exemplary embodiment of a door system and a door arrangement according to the invention.
[0098] In the Figures 1 to 3A first embodiment, a second embodiment, and a third embodiment of a door system 60 according to the invention and a door arrangement 100 are shown. The door arrangement 100 comprises a computing unit 10. The computing unit 10 comprises a computing device 11 embodied as a personal computer. The computing device comprises a screen 12 and a keyboard 13.
[0099] The computing unit 10 comprises at least one electronic memory. For example, this can be a cloud storage. A first database 20, a second database 21, and a third database 22 are stored in the memory. Alternatively, and not shown, the first and second databases 20, 21 can be configured as a common database. Likewise, the second and third databases 21, 22 can be configured as a common database. In a further alternative, the first and third databases 20, 22 can be configured as a common database. In a further database, the first to third databases 20, 21, 22 are integrated into a common database.
[0100] In the Figures 1 to 3Different door systems 60, 61, 62 according to the invention are shown. The door systems 60, 61, 62 are each part of the door arrangement 100. According to the invention, the door systems 60, 61, 62 each comprise a control unit 30 as a first door component. The door systems 60, 61, 62 each comprise a first bus system 32, e.g., a CAN bus. Furthermore, according to the invention, the door systems 60, 61, 62 each comprise at least one door drive 35, 36, for example, a sliding door or swing door drive. The door drive 35, 36 and the control unit 30 are connected to the first bus system 32. The presence of the control unit 30 makes it possible to make complex functional sequences and / or complex decisions.
[0101] The door drives 35, 36 each comprise a schematically illustrated drive controller 351, 361 and a schematically illustrated motor 352, 362. The drive controller 351, 361 is connected to the first bus system 32. The drive controller 351, 361 serves to control the motor 352, 362 of the respective door drive 35, 36 using a four-quadrant control system. For this purpose, the drive controller 351, 361 comprises at least one processor and at least one electronic memory.
[0102] The control unit 30 also includes at least one processor and at least one electronic memory. The processor of the control unit 30 has greater computing power than the drive controller 351, 361 and serves to control processes of the door system 60, 61, 62. At least the control unit 30 includes a timer.
[0103] Furthermore, the control unit 30 serves to establish the information technology connection to the computing unit 10. For this purpose, the control unit 30 and the computing unit are connected to a second bus system 25, e.g., Ethernet. The control unit can receive an electronic configuration via the second bus system 25. The control unit 30 can send operating data to the computing unit 10. The operating data is stored in the third database 22.
[0104] The control unit 30 and the drive controller 351 of the door system 60 or one of the drive controllers 351, 361 of the door systems 61, 62 are preferably arranged in a housing. Particularly preferably, the motor 352, 362 is also arranged in the housing.
[0105] The door systems 60, 61, 62 include additional door components. The first door system 60 in Figure 1includes, for example, a motor lock 33, an escape route control 51 with an emergency button 512, an electromagnetic door lock 52, and a hazard detector, in particular a smoke detector 53, as additional door components. The door components 35, 33, 51, 52, 53 have different functions and functional properties. Thus, the door components 33, 51, 52, 53 belong to different door component types 40, 44, 45, 46, just as the control unit 30 and the motor drive 35 each belong to different door component types 49, 41.
[0106] The second door system 61 in Figure 2 and the third door system 62 in Figure 3each comprises a plurality of motorized door drives 35, 36 as door components. The motorized door drives 35, 36 are identically designed and thus belong to the same door component type 41. Furthermore, the second door system 61 and the third door system 62 comprise a plurality of sensors 37, 38 and 56, 57 as door components. The sensors 37, 38 and 56, 57 serve to detect a person approaching the door leaves. The motorized door drives 35, 36 can then open the door leaves in a predetermined time sequence as a functional sequence. In addition, safety sensors (not shown) can serve to stop the door by means of the door drive 35, 36 in order to prevent injury to the person. The sensors 37, 38 and 56, 57 are identically designed and thus belong to the same door component type 42.
[0107] Furthermore, a program switch 39 or 58 is provided as a door component. Using the program switch 39, 58, a user can determine whether the sensors 37, 38 or 56, 57, respectively, trigger a motorized door opening upon detecting a person. Thus, the program switch can be used to set various operating modes, namely at least automatic mode and manual mode. The program switch 39 is assigned to a dedicated door component type 43.
[0108] The door drives 35, 36 of the second door system 61 are each designed to be arranged on a door leaf of a double-leaf door. The second door system 61 comprises a motor lock 33 for a moving leaf of the double-leaf door and a motor lock 34 for a passive leaf of the double-leaf door. The motor locks 33, 34 are each assigned to their own door component types 40, 47. A further door component of the second door system 61 is designed as a reader 31 as a further door component type 48. The reader 31 can communicate, in particular, wirelessly with a card or a mobile phone to receive an access attribute. An access decision is made by the control unit 30.
[0109] The door drives 35, 36 of the third door system 62 are each designed to be arranged on a door leaf of a lock, each with a single-leaf door. The third door system 62 comprises two motor locks 33, 59, each for a moving leaf. The motor locks each belong to the same door component type 40. The door system 62 also comprises several readers 29, 31, each of which is designed to be arranged on a door of the lock.
[0110] The door components 33, 35, 51, 52, 53 of the first door system 60 are connected to a first bus system 32. Some door components 33, 34, 35, 36 of the second door system 61 are connected to the first bus system 32. Other door components 37, 38, 39 of the second door system 61 are only indirectly connected to the control unit 30 via a door drive 35, 36. The reader 31 is connected to the control unit 30 via a third bus system 55, e.g., an RS485 bus or an RS232 connection.
[0111] The door components 30, 33, 35, 36, 56, 57, 58 of the third embodiment 62 are connected to the first bus system 32. The components 29, 30, 31 are connected via the third bus system 55.
[0112] The control unit 30 comprises a transmitting and receiving unit for wireless short-range communication with a mobile terminal 50. The door arrangement according to the invention comprises the mobile terminal 50.
[0113] Because the first door system 60, the second door system 61 and the third door system 62 comprise different door components, the door systems 60, 61, 62 correspond to different door system types 70, 71, 72.
[0114] A door system 60, 61, 62 is characterized in that each door system 60, 61, 62 comprises a common electronic configuration. The configuration 82 is embodied as at least one electronic file and can be stored on the control unit 30. Preferably, exactly one configuration is provided for each door system type 70, 71, 72.
[0115] A door system 60, 61, 62 each comprises a common control unit 30. The control unit serves to connect to the computing unit 10.
[0116] A door system 60, 61, 62 can be provided for installation on one or more doors, depending on the door system type 70, 71, 72. In a further embodiment not shown, a door system is used, for example, for installation on two double-leaf doors arranged one behind the other or a hotel corridor with, for example, four room doors.
[0117] A door arrangement 100 may comprise multiple door systems 60, 61, 62. The door systems 60, 61, 62 may belong to the same or different door system types 70, 71, 72. The door systems 60, 61, 62 are preferably connected to one another and / or to the computing unit 10 via the second bus system 25.
[0118] The door systems 60, 61, 62 each comprise signal-emitting door components, ie a signal generator.
[0119] In the door system 60, the signal generator is embodied as a key switch 511 and as the smoke detector 53. The escape route control 51 can report the signal from the key switch 511 to the control unit 30. The control unit 30 stores the information about when the door drive 35 is to be activated so that the door is opened, closed, or stopped by motor.
[0120] For this purpose, the control unit 30 comprises firmware. A sequence comprising multiple operating steps can be controlled using the firmware. For example, an authorized user can gain access using the key switch 511 as an authentication device. The escape route control unit 51 reports the authentication to the control unit 30. The escape route control unit 51 also reports to the control unit 30 the length of the unlocking time of the door lock 52, which the escape route control unit 51 has triggered to unlock. The control unit 30 then controls the door drive 35 for motorized door opening and informs the door drive 35 of the unlocking time or a hold-open time adjusted to the unlocking time. The drive control unit 351 then first controls the motor lock 33 for unlocking and then the motor 352 for motorized door opening.
[0121] The control unit 30 of the door system 60 can include rules as to when the door is to be opened or closed by motor in response to a signal from the room detector 53.
[0122] In the door system 61, the signal transmitters are configured as sensors 37, 38 and reader 31. The sensors 37, 38 are directly connected, for example, via an analog line, to the door drive 35, 36, in particular to the drive controllers 351, 361. The control unit 30 does not evaluate the signals from the sensors 37, 38.
[0123] The control unit 30 of the door system 61 evaluates the signals from the reader 31. One procedure can be that the reader 31 first reports the access attribute that the reader 31 has received from a mobile terminal 50 to the control unit 30. The control unit 30 decides whether the access attribute authorizes access. If this is the case, the control unit 30 first controls the door drive 35 of the active leaf and then the door drive 36 of the passive leaf to open the door on both sides. At least one of the drive controls 351, 361 of the door drives 35, 36 first controls the motor locks 33, 34 so that the motor locks 33, 34 unlock the active leaf and the passive leaf. The drive controls 351, 361 then control the motors 352, 362 to open the door by motor.
[0124] The control unit 30 can include a database. In the database, parameters, such as a hold-open time, for motorized door opening are assigned to individual access attributes or individual access attribute groups. For example, a "Senior" access attribute group can be provided. This access attribute group is assigned a long hold-open time. Together with the command to open the door motorically, the control unit 30 transmits the hold-open time via the first bus system 32. Alternatively, the control unit 30 measures the duration of the hold-open time via a timer and, at the end of the hold-open time, commands the drive controller 351 to activate the motor 352 to close the door.
[0125] The database also stores whether the door should be opened with one or two leaves for individual access attributes or individual access attribute groups. Thus, an opening mode can be assigned to access attributes or access attribute groups in the database. For example, the "Nurse" access attribute group can be assigned a double-leaf door opening, and the "Doctor" access attribute group can be assigned a single-leaf door opening. If the control unit 30 detects that a user of the access attribute group assigned a single-leaf door opening is attempting access, the control unit 30 will control the door drive 35 to open the door, but not the door drive 36.
[0126] It is also conceivable that the type of use of the access attribute or the element comprising the access attribute determines a parameter or the opening mode. For example, a long presentation of the mobile terminal 50 comprising the access attribute to the reader 31 can lead to a longer hold-open time than a short presentation of the terminal 50 to the reader 31. A long presentation can additionally or alternatively, for example, lead to a double-leaf opening, while a short presentation leads to a single-leaf opening.
[0127] In an alternative, the control unit 30 does not include the database, but the assignment of the parameters or opening modes to access attributes or access attribute groups takes place in the computing unit 10, preferably in the third database 22. The control unit 30 can query the computing unit 10 when making the access decision.
[0128] In another alternative, the parameter or opening mode is part of the access attribute. In this case, the parameter or opening mode is transmitted wirelessly from the mobile device 50 to the reader 31 during the access authorization request. The reader 31 sends the parameter or opening mode to the control unit 30 via the third bus system 55.
[0129] In the door system 62, the signal transmitters are the sensors 56, 57 and the readers 29, 31. The sensors 56, 57 are evaluated by the control unit 30. Depending on the result of the evaluation, the control unit 30 controls the drive control 351, 361 so that the door is opened by motor.
[0130] The control unit 30 of the door system 62 evaluates the signals from the readers 29, 31. To do so, the reader 29, 31 reports the access attribute that the reader 29, 31 has received from a mobile device 50 to the control unit 30. The control unit 30 decides whether the access attribute authorizes access and controls the drive control 351, 361 so that the door is opened by motor. In this process, the control unit 30 first controls the motor locks 33, 59 to unlock the corresponding door.
[0131] The control unit 30 of the door system 62 knows which sensor 56, 57 is assigned to which door or door drive 35, 36. The control unit 30 also knows which reader 29, 31 is assigned to which door or door drive. For example, the sensor 56 and the reader 29 are assigned to the door drive 35. The sensor 57 and the reader 31 are assigned to the door drive 36. Therefore, if a signal from the sensor 56 or the reader 29 is evaluated positively, only the door drive 35 is activated. The same applies to the door drive 36. The assignment is stored in the control unit 30.
[0132] The condition that the first door must be closed before the second door can be opened, and vice versa, is also stored in the control unit 30. The control unit 30 monitors compliance with this condition. Thus, upon access through the lock, the control unit 30 can first open the first door and only open the second door once the first door is closed.
[0133] Access attributes or access attribute groups for which the condition is not met are stored in control unit 30. For example, for the access attribute group "Firefighter," the condition is not met, but both doors are opened immediately. This means that control unit 30 first controls the motor locks 33, 59 to unlock them and then the drive controls 351, 361 to motor-driven open the doors.
[0134] The control unit 30 stores information about the access attributes or use of an access attribute for which the program switch 58 automatically changes the operating mode. For example, the reader 29, 31 can receive the caretaker's access attribute. This automatically changes the operating mode from automatic mode to manual mode. The automatic change of the operating mode may also depend on the type of use of the access attribute or the element comprising the access attribute. Additionally or alternatively, the automatic change of the operating mode may depend on a time range. For example, the automatic change of the operating mode from automatic mode to manual mode only occurs in the evening between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. The change from operating mode to automatic mode only occurs between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.
[0135] The control unit 30 stores information about which door the operating mode set by the program switch 58 is intended for. For example, the operating mode applies only to one of the two doors or to both. The control unit 30 can store information about which access attribute or access attribute group an operating mode setting applies to which doors. For example, for the "caretaker" access attribute group, the operating mode changes for both doors, while for other access attributes, the operating mode only changes for the first door.
[0136] To make complex decisions or coordinate processes, control unit 30 includes appropriate firmware. Changes to the processes can be implemented via a firmware update, e.g., from processing unit 10. Alternatively, an instruction for the firmware and / or parameters can also be updated. The drive controller 351, 361 and / or the escape route controller 51 also include firmware to participate in the processes. The higher-level control is performed by control unit 30. The update for the escape route controller 51 can only be performed on-site. This requires action by the installer on the escape route system 51, 511, 512, 52.
[0137] The distribution of control processes is designed such that control processes related to the specific properties of a motor, e.g., a specific sliding door motor, are handled by the drive control 351, 361. Higher-level control processes, e.g., when which locking element 33, 34, 59 or which door drive 35, 36 is to be controlled, are preferably and / or predominantly handled by the control unit 30. This allows the door drive 35, 36 to be replaced without the need for significant modifications to the remaining door system 60, 61, 62. In particular, no modified cabling is necessary.
[0138] It can be provided that the control unit 30 communicates in an encrypted manner via the first, the second and / or the third bus system 25, 32, 55.
[0139] A further possibility of detecting manipulations of the door system 60, 61, 62 is that the door system 60, 61, 62, in particular the control unit 30, has knowledge of door components installed in the door system and is designed to detect changes to the installed door components and / or the function of the door components.
[0140] If a change is detected, the door system 60, 61, 62, in particular the control unit 30, generates an alarm.
[0141] The following commissioning procedure is provided so that the control unit 30 has knowledge of the door components 29, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 51, 52, 53, 56, 57, 58, 59 installed in the door system and can assign door components 29, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 51, 52, 53, 56, 57, 58, 59 in such a way that the correct door components 29, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 51, 52, 53, 56, 57, 58, 59 are controlled and / or notified in the correct order in one process.
[0142] The electronic configuration 82 comprises a component list in which the intended door components of the door system 60, 61, 62 or the intended door components 33, 34, 35, 36, 51, 52, 53, 56, 57, 58 of the door system 60, 61, 62, which are connected to the control unit 30, are listed. If door components are present multiple times, the component list includes a position specification. In the exemplary embodiment of the Figure 2 The position specifications are "door drive for the active leaf", "door drive for the passive leaf". In the example of the Figure 3 The position specifications are "Door operator for the first door", "Door operator for the second door", "Sensor for the first door", "Sensor for the second door", "Motor lock for the first door", "Motor lock for the second door", "Reader for the first door" and "Reader for the second door".
[0143] Each door component connected to the first bus system 32 receives its own bus address from the control unit 30. Each door component 33, 35, 36, 51, 52, 53 of the door system 60 connected to the first bus system 32 sends the door component type 40, 41, 44, 45, 46 of the respective door component 33, 35, 36, 51, 52, 53 to the control unit 30. If each door component type 40, 41, 44, 45, 46 is present only once in the door system 60, 61, 62, the control unit 30 assigns the bus address to each door component type and thus to each door component. Thus, the control unit 30 knows the bus address when the control unit 30 needs to send a message or command to a specific door component.
[0144] If multiple door components of the same door component type are present, the multiple door components 35, 36 connected to the first bus system 32 must be assigned to a position. In the door system 61, these are the door drives 35, 36, of which one door drive 36 occupies the position "at the inactive leaf" and one door drive 35 occupies the position "at the active leaf." Therefore, identifications of the door drives 35, 36, e.g., the bus address, or an identification symbol assigned to the identification, e.g., "Door Drive 1" or "Door Drive 2," are displayed to an installer on the mobile device 50 during a commissioning procedure after this information has been sent from the control unit 30 to the mobile device 50. In addition, the positions of the door drives "at the inactive leaf" and "at the active leaf" are displayed to the installer on the mobile device 50, particularly simultaneously or sequentially.
[0145] The installer can now select a marking or identification symbol, e.g., for the door drive 35. The selected control unit 30 then receives a command from the mobile device 50 that the selected door drive 35 must emit a visual and / or acoustic signal. The control unit 30 informs the door drive 35 of the command. The door drive 35 then emits a visual and / or acoustic signal. To this end, the door drive 36 can emit a signal using means that the door drive 35 also uses during operation. For example, the door drive 35 can jerk the door or move the door slightly.
[0146] The installer now sees the position of the selected door drive 35, in this case, on the active leaf. The installer can enter the correct position on the mobile device 50. The mobile device 50 transmits the correct position "on the active leaf" and the identification of the selected door drive 36 to the control unit 30.
[0147] The control unit 30 assigns the bus address to each door component whose position has thus become known to the control unit 30. Thus, the control unit 30 knows the bus address when the control unit 30 needs to send a message or command to a specific door component. For example, the control unit 30 needs to send a message to the door drive 35 of the active leaf, but not to the door drive 36 of the passive leaf.
[0148] The readers 29, 31 can also be assigned analogously to a marking or identification symbol by the installer by emitting a visual or acoustic signal.
[0149] The electronic configuration 82 preferably includes information about which door components connected to the first or third bus system 32, 55 exchange which messages. Thus, the electronic configuration 82 includes message senders and receivers.
[0150] The electronic configuration 82 preferably contains preset parameters for the door system 60, 61, 62, e.g., an unlocking time for the door lock 52 or a hold-open time for the door drive 35, 36.
[0151] The electronic configuration 82 includes executable firmware or instructions for the firmware for the control unit 30 and other control units, e.g., the drive controls 351, 361 or the escape route control 51. This enables the processes to be carried out.
[0152] Preferably, exactly one electronic predefined configuration 82 is provided for each door system type 70, 71, 72. The installer can load the configuration 82 from the first or second database 20, 21 during the commissioning process.
