Abstract
A discrete add-on control system for a barrier operating system is provided. The control system includes a mobile transmitter, a barrier state transmitter a controller and an indicator. The mobile transmitter automatically and periodically generates a mobile signal. The barrier state transmitter generates a barrier state signal. The controller is connected to the barrier operating system, receives the mobile signal and the barrier state signal, and commands the barrier operating system to move a barrier based upon the mobile signal and the barrier state signal. The indicator indicates a condition of the barrier.

A discrete add-on control system for a barrier operating system, comprising:
- a mobile transmitter to automatically and periodically generate a mobile signal;
- a barrier state transmitter to generate a barrier state signal;
- a controller, connected to the barrier operating system, to receive the mobile signal and the barrier state signal, and to command the barrier operating system to move a barrier based upon the mobile signal and the barrier state signal;
- and
- an indicator to indicate a condition of the barrier.
A method of operating a discrete add-on control system for a barrier operating system, the method comprising:
- receiving a mobile signal automatically and periodically transmitted from a mobile transmitter;
- receiving a barrier state signal from a barrier state transmitter;
- determining whether to move a barrier based on the mobile signal and the barrier state signal, and, if so determined, sending an operating signal to the barrier operating system to move the barrier;
- determining a condition of the barrier;
- and
- indicating the condition of the barrier.
