Abstract
A method and system include a switch to provide power to a vehicle barrier, A logic based controller is coupled to the switch, and an input device coupled to the logic based controller. A sensor is coupled to the vehicle barrier to provide vehicle barrier performance and maintenance data. The maintenance data may be used to identify maintenance activities to be performed prior to failure of the vehicle barrier.
Claims17
A system comprising:
- a switch to provide power to a vehicle barrier;
- a logic based controller coupled to the switch;
- and
- a sensor coupled to the vehicle barrier to provide vehicle barrier performance data including vehicle barrier movement performance, wherein the performance data provided by the sensor includes sensed ambient temperature and wherein the controller stores historical performance data including sensed ambient temperature and determines that a barrier moving more slowly than predefined parameters is still moving within normal operating parameters at the sensed temperature.
