  • Patent number: 6259352
    Abstract: A door system has a plurality of doors coupled to communication lines which interconnect the doors. The doors have a first outer face having an opening therein and a second outer face spaced a predetermined distance apart from the first outer face. A void is located between the first and second outer face and is sized to receive at least a portion of an integrated door unit. A wiring harness is located between the first and second outer faces. The wiring harness has a connector coupled thereto. The wiring harness is coupled to the integrated door unit. A sensor is coupled to the integrated door unit. To communicate, the integrated door units have a memory storing an address, and a data map. The integrated door units form output data words using the address and the data map.
