Abstract

A motor for operating the door is controlled for forward and reverse rotations and stoppage by a control circuit responsive to an operation command signal, an upper-lower limit signal, an obstruction detection signal and a maximum drive time over signal, thus controlling the door stepwise for opening, stoppage, closing, stoppage and opening in that order. Upon generation of an obstruction detection signal or a maximum drive time over signal during the closing operation, the control circuit controls the motor in a manner to open the door for a certain period of time, and subsequently upon application of an operation command signal, the control circuit is set in a manner to open the door again.
