Control system for door assembly having high and low voltage electrical power supplies for integrated electric devices and methods of control

A method for controlling a door system, the method comprising the steps of:

• a. providing the door system including
• i. a door having an inner door frame which includes a pair of parallel spaced apart horizontally extending top and bottom rails and a pair of parallel, spaced apart first and second stiles,
• ii. a first electric device attached to the door,
• iii. a second electric device attached to the door,
• iv. a control device,
• v. a main system configured to communicate with the control device,
• vi. a controller located in the door, and
• vii. a battery removably mounted in one of the stiles of the inner door frame and electrically connected to the controller for providing backup power,
• wherein the controller is configured to distribute power to the first and second electric devices, and to communicate with the first and second electric devices, the control device, and the main system;
• b. activating the first and second electric devices by sending a command from the control device to the controller or by activating a trigger provided by a sensor;
• c. distributing power from the control device to the first and second electric devices;
• d. monitoring an operating condition of the first and second electric devices;
• e. disabling the power to at least one among the first second electrical devices after failed attempts to activate the at least one electric device if the power draw of the device exceeds a pre-defined tolerance for that device;
• and
• f. providing continuous power to the first and second electrical devices via the control device if the operating condition is within a preset range provided by the main system.
