Abstract
A method for operating a door operator, includes inserting a first functional module into a slot of the door operator. The first functional module includes first information data function to be enabled. The first information data is transmitted to the door operator and, determining which additional functions are to be enabled. A first unique first identification is generated in the door operator. This generated first identification is transmitted back to the first functional module and saved in the first functional module. The determined functions to be enabled are activated, respectively enabled in the door operator.

A method for activating and operating a door operator, comprising:
- inserting a first functional module into a slot of the door operator, the first functional module including first information data for at least one function to be enabled;
- transmitting the first information data to the door operator;
- determining, in the door operator, the at least one function to be enabled based on the transmitted first information data;
- generating a unique first identification in the door operator;
- transmitting the generated first identification to the first functional module;
- saving the transmitted first identification in the first functional module;
- and
- enabling the determined at least one function in the door operator.
A door operator comprising:
- a basic module, wherein a plurality of functions of the door operator are performed by the basic module;
- a processor unit;
- and
- a slot,
- wherein the door operator is controlled by at least one of the basic module and the processor unit, and the door operator is configured to:
- receive the basic module into the slot of the door operator, the basic module including first information data for at least one of the plural functions to be enabled;
- transmit the first information data to the door operator;
- determine in the door operator the at least one of the plural functions to be enabled based on the transmitted first information data;
- generate a unique first identification in the door operator;
- transmit the generated first identification to the basic module;
- saving the transmitted first identification in the basic module;
- and
- enabling the determined at least one function in the door operator.
