- (i) a first operating mode wherein a user interface between the programming unit and door control is unconnected and the door control cannot be programmed, and
- (ii) a second operating mode wherein the user interface is connected between the programming unit and door control and the door control can be programmed,
- such that for programming operation or maintenance of the door drive, a data transmission connection is only established between the programming unit and door control when the door control is programmed and only one having access to the external programming unit is able to program the door drive,
- wherein safety-relevant operating parameters can only be programmed via the releasably connected programming unit.
