SAFETY

ELECTRICAL SHOCK

• The equipment is designed to be intrinsically safe for the user. No dangerous voltages (except mains are used when module AC/DC converter is scheduled in option on request).

• All modules or places, where a dangerous voltage may be accessible, are firmly protected by covers not removable without use of tools and clearly marked with warning readouts

• Failure to follow precautions (carefully note the "WARNING" signs on this manual) of random errors by the persons can cause accidental electrical shock. In this case first aids must be carried out to the injured person by using the following instructions:

Electrical Safety It is used to safeguard the staff from damages caused by electrical or mechanical faults. The equipment operator should know the methods and criteria of first aid.

Three factors determining the seriousness of electrical shocks are:

– quantity of the current through the body; – path of the current through the body; – laps of time in which the current pass through the body.

The necessary voltage to produce fatal current depends overall on: - body resistor, - contact conditions, - path of the current through the body

The following table shows the possible effects of electrical shocks.

FIRST AID FOR ELECTRIC SHOCK

Do not touch the patient with bare hands until the circuit has been opened.

Open the circuit by switching off the line switches (mains and batteries). If that is not possible PROTECT YOURSELF WITH DRY MATERIAL and free the patient from the conductor. ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION - mouth to mouth resuscitation method It is important to start mouth to mouth resuscitation at once and seek medical help immediately.

FIG.3

FIG.2

FIG.1 1. Lay the patient on his back with his arms parallel to the body; the

patient is lying if on an inclined plane, make sure that his stomach is slightly lower than his chest. Open the patient mouth and check that there are no foreign bodies in his mouth (dentures-chewing-gum etc.).

2. Kneel beside the patient, level with his head. Put a hand under the patient’s head and one under his neck (FIG. 1). LIFT THE PATIENT’S HEAD AND LET IT RECLINE BACKWARDS AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.

3. Shift the hand from the patient’s neck to his chin: place your thumb between his mouth, the index finger along his jawbone, and keep the other fingers closed together (FIG.2). While performing these operations take in a good supply of oxygen by taking deep breaths with your mouth open.

4. With your thumb between the patient’s chin and mouth keep his lips together and blow into his nostrils (FIG. 3).

5. While doing this observe if the patient’s chest rises (FIG.4). If not, it is possible that his nose is blocked: in that case open the patient’s mouth as much as possible by pressing on his chin with your hand, place your lips around his mouth and blow into his oral cavity. Observe if the patient’s chest heaves. This second method can be used instead of the first even when the patient’s nose is not obstructed, provided his nose is kept closed by pressing the nostrils together using the hand you were holding his head with. THE PATIENT’S HEAD MUST BE KEPT SLOPING BACKWARDS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

FIG.4

6. Start with ten rapid expirations, then continue at a rate of twelve/fifteen expirations per minute. Continue this until the patient has regained consciousness, or until a doctor has ascertained the death.

TREATMENT OF BURNS

This treatment should be used after the patient has regained consciousness. It can also be employed while

artificial respiration is being applied (in this case, there should be at least two persons present).

a) DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE HIS CLOTHING FROM THE BURNT PARTS;

b) Apply dry gauze on the burns;

c) DO NOT apply ointment or other oily substances.

INSTRUCTIONS COVERING TREATMENT FOR ELECTRICAL SHOCK

CONTENTS:

1. SYMPTOMS

2. TREATMENT

3. STIMULANTS

4. CAUTION

1. SYMPTOMS

a) With electrical shock, if the current passes through the breathing center at the base of the brain, breathing ceases rapidly.

If the shock was not serious and a moderate quantity of air is supplied to the lungs through artificial respiration, the breathing center will start to function again and breathing will be restored.

b) The victim is usually very pale and cyanotic, the pulse is very feeble or altogether absent and he

is completely unconscious. Burns are usually also present.

The victim’s body becomes stiff in few minutes.

This is due to electrical shock and must not be taken as rigor mortis.

Artificial respiration must be applied continuously, because in many such cases it has been successful and the victim has regained consciousness.

General and ordinary indications that death has occurred must not be accepted.

2. TREATMENT

a) Start artificial respiration at once.

At the same time, if assistance is available, call a doctor.

Apply the artificial respiration treatment on the same spot where the accident has occurred, unless there is danger of life for the victim to a different place, but no further than necessary to ensure safety for both.

If the new place is more than a few meters away, artificial respiration must be carried on even while shifting the victim.

If while moving the victim it is not possible to apply the prone pressure method (known as Shaeffer’s method) other resuscitation methods should be applied.

You can use the method with the pressure on the front of the victim’s diaphragm, or the direct mouth-to-mouth resuscitation method. Once started, artificial respiration must be continued without slowing down the rhythm.


Vers. A, September 2009 XV

b) Lay the victim in a prone position (stomach down), with one arm stretched directly over the head and the other arm bent at the elbow, so that the back of the hand supports the weight of the head.

The face should be turned to the side opposite the bent arm, so that nose and mouth may be free to breathe.

c) Open the victim’s mouth and remove any items, like gum, dentures or tobacco.

The mouth must remain open with the tongue straight.

d) If while trying to revive him or her an assistant is available, get him to loosen anything tight on the victim, in order to permit the blood to circulate freely and to remove any impediments to breathing. The assistant should try to keep the victim warm, with blankets or other coverings.

The assistant should also ensure, by continually checking that the victim does not withdraw the tongue in the throat.

He should also continually clean the victim’s mouth of any mucus or saliva, which might impede free breathing.

e) The helper should separate the victim’s legs, or one leg so that :

- the arms and legs of the helper himself, while applying pressure on the victim’s back at kidney level, remain vertical;

- the helper’s fingers remain in a natural position on the victim’s back with the little finger along the last rib;

- the palms of both hands lie against both sides of the spine, as much as possible on the sides, without allowing the hands to slip down from the victim’s body.

f) The operation should proceed as follows:

− press down, for one second, with a pressure not greater than 27 kgs/70 pounds ;

− the assistant should lean back, quickly releasing the victim ;

− after two second’s rest, move forward placing your hands exactly in the same position as before and exert pressure for another second.

g) The forward swing, the repositioning of the hands and the pressure downward must be carried out in one second and without a break.

The release action and the backward swing require another second.

The addition of the two rest seconds brings to a total of 4 seconds for the complete cycle.

The operator should count aloud and clearly pronouncing each number, preferably in thousand, until he has acquired a regular rhythm. Example: one thousand, two thousand, etc.

h) Artificial respiration must be continued until the victim regains a normal breathing rhythm, or until

a medical officer has ascertained his death.

Since it may be necessary to continue the treatment for several hours, if possible the helper should be relieved by other people helping.

Resuscitation procedure

3. STIMULANTS

a) If an inhaling stimulant is used, e.g. smelling salt, the person who is giving the stimulant must find the best way to keep the inhalant near his own nostrils for comfortable breathing, prior to placing it near the victim’s nostrils.

Ensure that the inhalant is not brought to the victim’s nostrils for more than one or two seconds per minute

b) Once the victim has regained consciousness, you may give him hot coffee or a glass of water.

Do not give any liquid to an unconscious victim

4. CAUTION

a) Once the victim has regained consciousness, keep him comfortably lying down.

Any physical injury a person might have received may place him under shock.

The condition of shock is present if the victim is pale and has cold sweat, the pulse is feeble, and his breathing is short and weary.

b) Keep the victim lying flat on his back, with his head lower than the rest of his body and his legs and feet raised slightly.

Make sure he has no tight garments that might limit free blood circulation or prevent normal breathing. Keep him warm and reassured.

c) A victim regaining consciousness should be kept under constant watch lest he should suddenly stop breathing again.

Never leave a person alone until you ARE SURE that he is fully conscious and that his breathing is normal.

1 CHAPTER 1

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Remote Maintenance and Monitoring System (RMMS) is used for remote monitoring, operation and maintenance of all the connected navigation systems. The network has a radially configured architecture based on communication between the system components via switched or private lines in the public network and dedicated lines in private networks. Optionally a connection to a LAN (local area network) via Ethernet line is possible.

Although these advantages only apply to the modern generation of air traffic control systems developed by Thales ATM (in other words to the Navaids 400 and the navigation aids used with it, namely the CVOR and DVOR, the ILS and MLS instrument landing systems, the ILS far field monitor (FFM), the TACAN 453 and the DME 415/435 radio beacons, the electronic TACAN antenna (ELTA 200) and the NDB 436) the range of interface makes it possible to incorporate other collocated systems in the remote control and monitoring strategy if desired.

The outstanding features of the system are as follows:

• FLEXIBILITY

The open system architecture enables a variety of standard connections to be established using dedicated or switched lines, telephone or data networks, local area networks and serial or parallel interfaces. The interface and software utilities which are available allow the system configuration to be adapted to local requirements. A remote maintenance and monitoring configuration which provides a permanent indication of the availability of all the navigation systems in the network can, for example, be set up via the public telephone network.

• RELIABILITY

All data communication is implemented using reliable data protocols. The instruments are designed for the operating conditions specified in the EUROCAE recommendations. There are no mechanical wearing parts, and even disk drives for storing data have been dispensed with.

• USER−FRIENDLY OPERATOR INTERFACES

To allow the user to work in a familiar environment, the currently prevailing PC standards and operating systems have been employed. All the control, monitoring and maintenance functions are displayed on a color screen. They are executed in windows by means of function keys or a mouse. The most important status indications and control elements are implemented on the front panel of the basic instrument, so that simplified remote control and monitoring is also possible without connecting a PC system.

• LOW EQUIPMENT COSTS

Due to the use of standard PC technology the system is situated in the lower price range for computer networks and remote control and maintenance systems. The RMMS is a complete, autonomous system. However, it can also be used as a gateway to more complex data processing systems

The Remote Control & Status Indicator (RCSI) is one of the elements required to set up the more general Remote Maintenance Monitor System (RMMS).

The Remote Maintenance and Monitoring System (RMMS) is a flexible information processing network for remote control, monitoring and maintenance of navigational aids systems for air traffic control. In addition to the usual remote control functions, it enables all the possible signal parameters to be set and read, and permits extensive remote analysis of system failures by polling and interpreting a wide range of measured values.

Figure 1–1. Overview RMMC

The elements of an RMMS are as follows:

− RCSI 447 (Remote Control & Status Indicator); provides the operator with basic controls and indications. The main task of the RCSI inside the remote control system is to provide a link between operators responsible for maintenance and air navigation equipment.

− PC; when equipped with appropriate software (MCS or ADRACS), permits in-depth monitoring and diagnostic operations.

− SI 446 (Status Indicator) or CTU 443 (Control Tower Unit); which are status repeaters driven by the RCSI using a serial interface.

RCSI is a unit dedicated to remote control functions for air navigation aid equipment. RCSI is able to handle the status and controls of up to 8 equipment.

RCSIs have an identical SW program for all applications; adaptation to the type of service required is provided through of configuration which defines the behavior of the unit.

The firmware that operates in the RCSI unit is defined as REU (or REU.EXE), where REU stands for Remote control Electronic Unit.

1.2.3.1.5 PARALLEL PORTS application - Auxiliary IN parallel line

The PARALLEL PORT IN connector ( 25 pins) provides 16 input optocoupled input lines.

The input photodiode is driven by the IAUX line and there are two possibilities:

− the input is driven by a free voltage contact that closes the signal to ground (figure 1–9). IAUX0 to

IAUX7 are connected according to this configuration while IAUX8 to IAUX15 are programmable by

jumpers (see jumpers table 1–23);

− the input is driven by a positive voltage (figure 1–9). IAUX8 to IAUX15 are programmable by jumpers

(see jumpers table 1–23). It is necessary to check the input current that must not exceed 8 mA, typical

2/3 mA.

1.3 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The main task of the RCSI inside the remote control system is to provide a link between operators responsible for maintenance and air navigation equipment.

The RCSI is a microprocessor-based unit able to control the equipment by means of dedicated and/or switched lines. Its basic functions are:

Figure 1–11. RCSI 447- Block diagram


The RCSI is mainly composed of the following modules (Fig. 1–11):

• Front panel (made with water-proof elastic membrane ) for indications and Commands. The Leds and pushbuttons are mounted on INC board.

• CSB module (with the sub-module PC104 CPU) for the processing.

• Modem for telephone connections.

• Power supply. 1.3.1 Front Panel

The front panel of the RCSI provides the operator with a limited set of basic commands and, at the same time, the status of the connected equipment.

The front panel is divided into two main sections:

− the first section, on the right side, is dedicated to the Remote Control & Status Indicator.

− the second section, on the left side, is dedicated to information and controls referring to the equipment.

1.3.1.1 Section Dedicated to the RC

In this section, referred to as "RC", indications and controls refer to the RCSI itself and not to the equipment connected.

The following pushbuttons are provided:

BUTTON FUNCTION

LAMP TEST Used to check correct functioning of all visual indicators and the buzzer. Its range of action is, in fact, much broader in that it is able to check that the CPU has acquired the command and is able to drive the drive output registers correctly.

The lamp test is carried out switching off all LEDs and then switching them on again in turn, one at a time and then restoring their initial configuration.

A lamp test is started automatically when the unit is switched on.

Pressing of this button also causes a short activation of the buzzer.

SIL Used to switch the buzzer off.

Table 1–10. Front panel - “RC” section: pushbuttons

The following indications are provided:

INDICATION COLOR MEANING

OPERATION green Is connected directly to the watch dog of the microcomputer and is designed to indicate that the CSB board is functioning correctly.

The main causes of switch-off are:

a power supply fault, a HW fault that stops running of the program, a fatal HW fault detected by the self-check or an irregular activity of the program.

WARNING yellow Not used.

DATA COM red Comes on when after all the attempts the RCSI does not communicate with the CSB anymore.

This section also includes the buzzer for acoustic indication of main events.

1.3.1.2.1 CONTROL - Request release Control of the equipment is an essential condition to carry out commands for this whether operating with a

control panel (local or remote) or with a PC.

The correct sequence of operations to carry out commands, starting from the state in which the equipment is

not yet controlled by someone else, (ENGAGED light off), is as follows:

1. press the REQUEST/RELEASE key and wait until the ENABLED indication comes on. In the case of a

switched line, there is a wait until the call is made);

2. carry out the available commands (ON/OFF and CHANGEOVER);

3. press the REQUEST/RELEASE key to release control.

If the equipment is already controlled (ENGAGED indication on), it’s possible to take the control only if the

RCSI has a higher priority with respect to the user the has the equipment control.

1.4 DESCRIPTION OF THE MODULES

1.4.1 INC Module

1.4.1.1 General

This board is installed immediately behind the control panel and houses keys for the commands and LEDs to

indicate equipment status.

This board is driven by the CSB board by means of an I/O bus (i.e. a bus with data, addresses and checks is

simulated using I/O ports) which makes it possible to reduce the interface signals compared with direct

driving of the LED’s by the CSB output ports.

The main tasks of the INC module are hereby described:

− switches for the commands and their encoder. There are 6 switches from I1 to I6, organized with

common point. They are led out of the board, by means of the encoder and sent towards the input

register of the RCSI from where they are read by the program, according to the polling technique. The

debouncing function is provided by the software;

− LEDs; used for back lighting of the indications on the front panel;

− alphanumeric display. Looking at the front panel, the alphanumeric display is located above the

equipment main status and is used to display a specific equipment identifier. The caption shown on

the display can be programmed in the LCSU configuration; otherwise, the display remains off.

1.4.1.2 Indications

Except for RCSI OPERATION, which is driven by the watch dog signal from the RCSI, all the indications are

activated writing in the specific registers.

1.4.1.3 Buzzer

The buzzer is under the complete control of the CSB module.

1.4.1.4 Alphanumeric Display

This device is used to write an equipment identification label on the front panel. Its contents are written in the

configuration of the RCSI.


1.4.2 CSB MODULE

1.4.2.1 General

The CSB board performs the following functions:

− through one or more modems, it communicates with local units to obtain complete information about

equipment operating status in real-time;

− it allows an operator to work on a PC that is linked by means of an RS-232 serial line exactly in the same

way as on the local PC;

− it drives the front panel;

− it is able to drive supplementary Status Indicators in order to provide the control tower with system basic

states;

In a multi-level remote control system, it is able to interface a higher level RCSI

The CBS is formed with a CSB board and a PC104 compatible PC CPU board connected together with a

stack through connector. Others PC104 compatible boards can be stacked to add features like FDD/HDD

interface, LPT interface, etc.

1.4.2.6 Battery Backup

On the CSB board the BATTERY BACKUP function is used for the Ram-disk data retention. Moreover

battery voltage is connected to the PC104 CPU through CT10 connector for Real Time Clock data retention.

Data SETUP configuration are memorized on EEPROM chip.

The battery on the CSB board is a 0.8Ah NON RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM cell with a voltage rating of

3.6V.

The use of low power SRAM, which normally has few µA standby consumption, is advised. Doing so, the

lithium battery is ensured long life.




1.4.3 Modems LGM

1.4.3.1 LGM28.8

The LGM 28.8 is a high speed modem for duplex operation which supports all common duplex modulation procedures. The modem is designed for synchronous as well as for asynchronous data transmission according to the following CCITT modulation modes: V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.22, and V.21, which have implemented the data securing procedures according to V.42 and MNP4. Data compressing to increase the baud rate is implemented according to V.42bis and MNP5. These procedures enable a practical fault free transmission between two data terminal equipment (DTE) units. Depending on the procedure the transmission rate can be increased up to 38400 Bd (autobaud) using V.42bis and the AT −mode/reliable mode. The modem can also communicate with modems from other vendors at the same transmission rates, providing these modems comply with CCITT Recommendations

V.22 and V.22bis. Software configuration is possible using AT or DNL commands while hardware configuration is performed employing the DIP switches located at the bottom and on one side of the module. It is designed for operation in public switched networks and consequently equipped with an integrated automatic dialing facility (IAWD). Data connections can however also be set up by the subscriber dialing manually and pressing the data key. Point−to−point operation on dedicated lines (leased or tie lines) is likewise possible. Almost all the modem functions can be set by the data terminal equipment (DTE) using a command set in accordance with CCITT Recommendation V.25bis. Correct operation of the microprocessor and the signal processors is monitored by an integrated circuit, which initiates a "master reset" if one of these processors malfunctions (watchdog).

Figure 1–18. LGM28.8, block diagram

A data connection can be set up by means of either the integrated automatic dialing facility or the automatic call acceptance feature. It is also possible to dial out or to accept incoming calls manually. No dialing takes place on dedicated lines. All the V.25bis commands and messages are exchanged via the interfaces which are also used to transfer the actual data. After a call request with identification, the LGM checks whether the subscriber line is already busy, i.e. whether the subscriber is in the process of making a call. If not, the outside line is seized. The LGM then transmits the dialed digits which have previously been transmitted by the DTE. After the dialing procedure, an intermittent 1300 Hz tone is transmitted and the modem waits for a constant 2100 Hz answer tone. As soon as this answer tone − which is transmitted by modems with an automatic call acceptance facility − is identified, the two modems start the prolog (handshake).

A data connection can only be terminated by the DTE, unless there is no carrier for more than 250 ms/10 s. In this case, the line seizure is canceled by the LGM. Eighteen switches are provided on the PC board for presetting the seven different operating modes, the four communication protocols and various other parameters. A self−test is performed each time the modem is switched on. The default setup is as follows: 2400 bd, V.22bis, dialing mode.


1.4.3.2 Party Line Modem LGM1200MD

See figure 1–19. The LGM1200MD is a universally applicable half duplex permanent line modem. The data transfer rate is 1200 or 600 bit/s. The LGM 1200MD (MD=multidrop) is optimized for operation on permanent two− wire lines in the so called party line mode. In this case, several modems are served by a control station via one line only (polling mode). On replacement, the LGM1200MD is used in stations instead of the ZUA29, on remote side instead of ZUA29 and NFK. It occupies one LGM slot.

The LGM1200MD operates in the voice band with FSK modulation, i.e. frequency shift keying in conformity with V.23 at 1300 and 2100 Hz with up to 1200 bit/s and 1300 and 1700 Hz with up to 600 bit/s. The data transfer method is half duplex or simplex. Generation of interfering trailing bits (on deactivation of the remote transmitter) is largely excluded by process−controlled "fast clamping" of the received data. In the asynchronous mode, data transfer from 0 to 1200 bit/s or 0 to 600 bit/s is possible, independently of the code and speed.

A microcomputer controls and monitors all functions of the LGM. Parameters for the processor and processor−independent circuitry can be influenced by means of 14 adjacent coding switches. A power−on self−test is run. LEDs indicate transmit and receive data activity or line seizure. The connected trunk lines are accessible via an ISEP test socket on the front panel (for monitoring the analog line signal).

When the "TEST" key on the front panel is pressed, the modem is switched to the "close range analog loop" (without transmitter) while the key is pressed. This is also active during the transmission phase (the connection is then aborted).

Figure 1–19. Modem LGM1200MD, block diagram

In half duplex mode on two−wire connections, the participating data transmission equipment each seizes the telephone line in succession. The respective DTE responsible for transmission controls operation with the 105/S2/RTS (ready to send) signal. This activates the modem’s carrier. The DTE must only offer data to the modem via the 103/D1/TD line once a specific delay after ready to send has elapsed and the modem has switched the 106/M2/CTS (clear to send). During the delay time between the "ready to send" 105/S2/RTS and "clear to send" 106/M2/CTS signals, the signal detector of the receiving modem will already react and will adapt the clock signals of the receiver to the clock pulse of the incoming signals.

With the 109/M5/DCD (receive signal level) signal, the receiving modem indicates that it is capable of forwarding received data (104/D2/RD). If the 109/M5/DCD (receive signal level) signal is not in the ON state, the receive interface line (104/D2/RD) is in the "I" state. A so−called fast clamping circuit is integrated in the LGM1200MD to avoid trailing bits during reception. It is processor−controlled, with the result that no more than 1 byte can occur as a trailing byte.

NOTE: When using the LGM1200MD the permanent line must be equipped with a termination (600 Ohm/47 nF parallel) at the point where it ends (station and remote ends). The R/C combination can be soldered onto the 9pin SubD connector together with the two−wire line.

2.4 INITIAL SETUP

This chapter describes the procedure for initial setup of the equipment. It presumes that the equip¬ment has been factory−aligned and tested. The configuration files are not yet loaded. The installation must be in the following status:

− External power supply and external equipment (e.g. ILS systems) are installed and cabled.

− The input voltage to the RCSI 447 and the peripherals must correspond to the assigned input voltage.

− The Dip−fix switches and jumpers of the relevant plug−in units must be set to the correct position (refer to section 2.3).

2.4.1 Initial Power up

The installation procedure must be completed and all the connections made before the RCSI can be started up. The power switch for the supply voltage must be set to ’off’.

First switch on the AC−switch or DC−switch (depending on type of converter) on the rear of the RCSI

After the start of the program the text field of each station (in area EQUIPMENT−MAIN STATUS on the INC panel) shows the text "Wait" for about 10 s. The initialization procedure is taking around 20s altogether. A tone is emitted by the buzzer.

Since the configuration files (e.g. *.sit) are not yet loaded, the main status of station no. 8 shows the string “No stat" (’no station’, area EQUIPMENT−MAIN STATUS on the INC panel). The status indications of the other connected stations are all switched off. After configuration of the unit (described in section 2.4.2), the subsystem names and states of the connected stations are indicated on the INC.

The NORMAL indicators light up for the various subsystems during normal operation. If no maintenance data terminal is connected, the RCSI can commence operation.

NOTE: The reaction of the (optional) connected CTU is described in section 5.

2.4.2 Software configuration MCS and ADRACS

The RCSI configuration can be done by MCS or ADRACS.

The complete procedure is described in the respective user’s manuals and it refers to:

- *.ptt file, for applications with the switched telephone line - *.oio file, for applications with parallel I/O - *.sit file, to setup the connected systems

2.4.2.1 Setting of PTT file

a) Run ADRACS RC. Perform Login.

b) Click softkey CONTROL in the opening window.

c) Select FILE TRANSFER from menu REU-OPERATIONS and start procedure with command Edit phonenumber File.

The window ’File Manager PC (Open File)’ appears. Select the corresponding *.ptt file to open the file for configuration entries. The window ’Phone numbers of <site name>.PTT’ provides a filing cabinet with filing cards for each subsystem to define modem settings and phone numbers (see fig. 2–8 and 2–9).

2.4.2.2 Explanation of Modem Setting

• AT−/V.25bis modems

AT modems (Hayes compatible) as well as V.25bis modems are supported. The setting for the modem type occurs in the configuration file REU−CONF.SIT. This setting can be overwritten with the PTT file. The following two modem connection modes are supported:

− DIRECT−MODE The baud rate between REU and modem is the same as the baud rate between the two modems. The data is sent to the modem path without buffering. Handshaking is not necessary. Fault correction or data compression is not possible. This mode is suitable for the virtual link to Navaids stations like DME 415 or TACAN TAC 453.

− RELIABLE MODE This is at least a connection of the type MNP4 or V.42. If additionally a data compression is selected, the type is called MNP5 or V.42bis. The baud rate between REU and modem can differ from that between the two modems. It is convenient to set the baud rate from the REU to the modem as high as possible (e.g. 38400 baud). Data buffering takes place in the modems. Therefore a RTS/CTS hardware handshake is necessary.

• Configuration of AT modems

The advantage of AT (’ATtention’) modems are the various configuration possibilities. The following standard initialisation strings are available which are sent automatically from the REU to AT modems:

− Init string ’ATZ0’, that means Z0 : reset with following loading of EPROM configuration

− Init−String ’ATE0V1X1S0=1S2=255’, that means E0 : echo off V1 : message code as text (because of baud rate in CONNECT message) X1 : message codes with state of the baud rate and also dialing without dial tone S0=1 : receive calls after one ring S2=255 : accepting no abort sign

− Init−String ’AT&S1&D3’, that means &S1 : M1 (DSR) on at data connection &D3 : ON−OFF change at S1 (DTR) interrupts connection and resets modem (ATZ0)

− Modem process time: necessary for external GSM modems (Siemens M20, usually 2000 ms) Modem reliable factor: necessary for external GSM modems (factor 0) Init modem all 2 min.: option for external modems

• Reliability of a modem connection (connection build−up mode)

The reliability of a modem connection is depending on the selected build−up mode. Two different build−up modes are available. The safer mode is the BACK−CALL.

− NO−BACK−CALL : Build up due to a single call and identification (START CALL).

− BACK−CALL : Build up due to a call and identification. Then back call and identification (START CALL, BACK CALL). Setting the priority to 0 in the *.ptt file of the called site.

• Setting of modems LGM1200MD

After jumper setting already described, the modem is ready for operation


RCSI 447 - Technical ManualVol.1 Sect. 2 - Installation and Initial SetupRef. 955900038-EN

2-14

• Setting of modem LGM28.8D1

There are different configurations possible. For example as universal reliable mode modem:

− basic setting: : 2 (factory delivery state)

− baud rate : 38400 Baud

− Modem mode : Reliable−Mode

− PTT−Init−String : ’AT\N2S51=12\Q2F255X4S10=100S20=0’

− Dial string : ’AT’+’DP’ or ’DT’+’telephone number’ <blank> ’host name’ of this phone number

• Dedicated line connection between REU and REU

Setting the ’Data com off’ timeout to 10 sec. (range from 1..32767 sec., standard is 10 sec.).

2.4.3 Faulty Switching−on Behaviour of RCSI after Configuration

If the RCSI 447 is reacting faulty when switched on after the configuration, it may be possible that one or more of the configuration files *.sit, *.ptt, *.oio, *.lke at the RAM side of the REU (part of the flash disk on the processor board) are damaged or wrong for this site.

A special AUTOBOOT.BAT file is installed on the flash disk of the processor board, which supports the deletion of the incorrect, wrong data on the disk. Two types of service adapters, called dongle, are available, which have to be connected to the Port 7 (ERASE) on the rear panel After deletion the standard application program is started to reconfigure the processor board.

To initiate the deletion of the wrong contents of the RAM side (drive d: of the flash disk) on the RCSI 447 the following steps have to be carried out:

- switch off RCSI 447 - connect dongle of type B with Port 7 (ERASE) - switch on RCSI 447 - wrong contents of RAM side (i.e. the configuration files) is deleted - repeat the configuration procedure described in section.

In case of a possible incorrect REU application program (REU.EXE on the flash disk) the dongle of type A has to be connected to the Port 7 (ERASE) to delete the wrong application program and to load a standard application program.

The dongles of type A and B are both Sub D 9 female connectors. At both types two pins have to be connected via a short cable:

− dongle type A: connection between pin 4 (DTR) and pin 9 (RI) − dongle type B: connection between pin 7 (RTS) and pin 9 (RI)

OPERATION

3.1 GENERAL

This chapter describes the operation of the RCSI 447 in the ILS, VOR and DME subsystems. It includes details of the INC panel and the PC user program MCS or ADACS. The complete procedure is described in the respective user’s manuals.


3.2 OPERATION OF THE RCSI 447

3.2.1 Switching On

NOTE: For the described switching on procedure it is assumed that the configuration of the REU (see section 2.4.2) has already be done (i.e. configuration files are loaded).

− AC−power supply: The mains switch is located on the rear. Set switch to "ON".

− DC−power supply: The DC ON switch is located on the rear. Set switch to "I".

When the unit is switched on, the program starts up automatically. This takes around 20 seconds altogether. After start of the program all text fields above columns where stations are configured (area EQUIP-MENT−MAIN STATUS on the INC panel) show the text "Wait" for about 10 s. A tone is emitted by the buzzer. Following the subsystem names and the states of the connected stations are indicated on the INC panel. The NORMAL indicators light up for the various subsystems during normal operation. If no maintenance data terminal is connected, the RCSI can commence operation.

NOTE: In case of a faulty switching−on behaviour of the RCSI a special procedure has to be performed described in section 2.4.3.

3.2.2 Switching Off

− AC−power supply: The mains switch is located on the rear. Set switch to "OFF".

− DC−power supply: The DC ON switch is located on the rear. Set switch to "0".

3.2.3 General Controls of the INC

See figure 3–1.

3.2.3.1 Lamp Test As long as LAMP TEST is pressed, the lamp test is activated: All indicators are on and the text field indicates "TEST". The buzzer is also activated. If a station has been selected before the lamp test it remains selected and the request of selected state telegrams runs in the background.



-6

3.2.3.2 Alarm Silent The device buzzer sounds whenever the status of a station indicated on the device changes. This is only provided in the DATA COM, MAINTENANCE, NORMAL, WARNING and ALARM states. The buzzer remains switched on until the SIL button is pressed or the time preset for it elapses (15s).

A station status change does not result in a buzzer alarm in the following situations:

− If either PC control or switch control has been set for the station.

− If the runway select bit for the runway to which the station belongs has been altered during the previous 60 seconds.

− If the MCS or ADRACS maintenance function (PC) is active.

Each of the eight displayable stations is assigned a SELECT button (row at the bottom). After pressing a SELECT button the respective ’Mainten’ display is blinking to indicate the selected station. Selected stations can be controlled by the commands in the ’EQUIPMENT−DETAILED STATUS−COMMAND’ field.

The INC can only send commands to the selected station, if the “local mode" is active, indicated by the green ’ENABLED’ field in the ’EQUIPMENT−DETAILED STATUS−CONTROL’ area. If necessary, activate the dlocal mode" by pressing the key ’REQUEST RELEASE’.

The following controls buttons are available:

− CHANGE OVER: Changes the transmitter connected to the antenna.

− EQUIP ON/OFF: Switches the transmitters TX1 and TX2 on/off of the LLZ and GP.

3.2.5 INC Indications

NOTE: Some default behaviors of the status indicators (e.g. blinking, ...) can be configured within the *.sit configuration file. The (optional) RMMC Configuration tool, which is available within the ADRACS user program, enables the operator to configure this behavior.

The INC panel provides eight columns to indicate the state of the correspondent subsystem/station. Indications are only provided on the panel for the stations which are configured.

On top of each subsystem column a text field is located with four characters (LED dot matrix) to indicate the station name. If the RCSI is switched on and configured the connected station name is indicated derived from the configuration file. Because this name consists of up to eight characters the name is shown 1 s each alternating the first four and the last four characters.

3 Vers. A, September 2009




Text fields of columns to which no station corresponds are off. If no station is configured to the eight columns, the most right text field shows "No" and “Stat".

The following signals are evaluated and indicated by the INC accordingly:

3.3 MAINTENANCE OPERATION

3.3.1 General

Maintenance mode can be set by a Maintenance Data Terminal (PC) connected to the RCSI. It is controlled using the installed PC User Program MCS or ADRACS.

Since the interface in the REU system is an open interface, access and thus operator actions are governed by a multi−level password code.

NOTE: To avoid bringing in a computer virus it is not allowed to run computer games generally and to use software programs which are not authorized on the Maintenance Data Terminal (PC). It is recommended to test the computer or disks with a virus checker

3.3.2 Operation with a Maintenance Data Terminal (PC)

The Maintenance Data Terminal (PC) is ready as soon as the RCSI has been connected and the PC User Program software has been installed. When the PC is switched on and the software is started, the software realizes that a PC is connected and that it can communicate with it. The PC can also be connected at any time during normal operation.

The Maintenance Data Terminal can control and poll the unit and the connected stations via this interface, and if necessary program them using the facilities of the program. The control functions of the user program are described in MCS or ADRACS Technical Manuals.




3.4 RCSI 447 SOFTWARE

3.4.1 General

The central feature of the RCSI is an industrial PC system which uses DR−DOS (Version 7.03 or higher). All the data required to run the remote control system correctly (the operating parameters) is saved in a file on the drive d: of the flash disk on the processor board. The actual RC program and the operating system (DR−DOS) are stored on the drive c: of the flash disk on the processor board as normal DR−DOS files.

3.4.1.1 Data Protection The flash disk on the processor board is managed by DR−DOS. DR−DOS is loaded when the system is started up. The RC program is loaded in the program memory with the DOS automatic execution batch file function (AUTOEXEC.BAT). The configuration file (CONFIG.SYS) is loaded next. The configuration file can only be modified by authorized persons.

Two cyclic redundancy check bytes, which ensure the necessary data transmission reliability, are appended to all telegrams sent during communication via the synchronous and asynchronous interfaces.

3.4.1.2 Maintenance Mode and Password The system incorporates a maintenance mode, which the can be operated and programmed. The maintenance mode is controlled via the following interfaces:

− Maintenance Data Terminal (PC)

− Remote Maintenance Center (RMC)

− Ethernet LAN

In order to protect the system against outside, unauthorized access at these open interfaces, the program demands that a code be entered (16 different users with variable passwords, 6 characters long). A login command and the <password> are transferred whenever the ADRACS user program is started; a logout command is transferred when it is exited. Delivery situation is, that the user 0 has a free (empty) password, the users 1 to 15 are disabled.

The login procedure does not allow more than 3 input attempts. The first three unsuccessful attempts are acknowledged with the error code ’PASSWORD AUTHORITY FAILURE’. If a further unsuccessful attempt is made, all inputs are initially disabled for the next 3 minutes, i.e. no more error codes are output by the REU in response to telegrams during this period, even if the password is entered correctly. The error code ’LOGIN REU CLOSED’ is generated after any input. The input lock is extended by another minute each time a new attempt is made; it is increased to 60 minutes after the 10th attempt. When this period has elapsed, the error code ’THERE WERE WRONG LOGINS’ is generated the next time a correct login attempt is made, to inform the user that there has been an unauthorized access attempt. If there is no communication after a correct login, this interface is locked by the REU after 2 minutes, i.e. a new login command must be entered.

Maintenance communication can only be set for one user at a time (PC, Ethernet LAN or maintenance center), i.e. all other users have no access to maintenance mode (read−out data possible) until the end of the current session. The other users receive an ’OTHER USER IS MASTER’ error message in this mode.

3.4.2 Data Com Error

The data com error of a station is set if an attempt to exchange telegrams between the REU and the desired station fails x times in a row. The number "x" can be set in the configuration file for each station. The data com error is reset after each successful telegram exchange and the data com error counter is set to 0.




3.4.3 PC Control / PC Maintenance

If telegrams are sent to a station with a PC via the REU, and if these telegrams contain a set PC control bit, PC control and PC maintenance are set for this station. PC control (not PC maintenance) is also set for all the stations which either belong to this system (runway) or which are collocated with it. PC control is reset 10 s after the last telegram with the PC control bit. The delay for PC maintenance is 7 s. This ensures that the INC does not start to buzz as soon as the MAINTENANCE lamp goes out.

3.4.4 Switch Control

If telegrams are sent to a station with a PC via the REU, and if these telegrams contain a set switch control bit, switch control is set for this station. This telegram also contains the states of the two switch control switches (on the INC board). Switch control is set additionally for all the stations which either belong to this system (runway) or which are collocated with it. Switch control is reset 10 seconds after the last telegram with the switch control bit. If a PC is switched to a control panel with switch control, an ’RPU IS MASTER’ message is output on the PC.

3.4.5 Runway Information

3.4.5.1 Runway Status The runway status only refers to the stations which belong to this runway. If no stations belong to the runway, all the states will be "OFF". The meaning of the Runway status is shown as a logical AND− combination.

OPERATIONAL (not ALARM (DME, FFM, MARKER)) and (not Local−Control (GP, LLZ)) and NORMAL(GP, LLZ)

DEGRADED (not OPERATIONAL) and (not ALARM (GP, LLZ))

SHUTDOWN (not OPERATIONAL) and (not DEGRADED)

ENABLE DATA−COM (DME, GP, LLZ) and (not Local−Control (GP, LLZ)) and (not PC−Control (DME, GP, LLZ)) and (not (Shut−Down−TX1 and Shut−Down−TX2 (DME)) and (not Switch−Control (DME, GP, LLZ))

3.4.5.2 Runway Select The runway is normally selected via the CTUs. The CTUs send the status of the runway select switch (key switch) to the REU every 2 s. This telegram also contains the states of the two runway select enable switches (on the CTU board). The REU only evaluates the runway select switches whose runway select enable switches are set to "ON". The status of the runway select switch is saved in the runway select bit. If a valid runway select telegram is not received for a runway for more than 10 s, the REU assumes that the corresponding CTU is no longer functioning correctly and allows the PC to manipulate the runway select bit for this runway. This only applies until another valid telegram is received from the CTU. Otherwise, the PC is not allowed to alter the runway select bit.

If there are several cascaded CTUs, the previous CTU in the chain which is set to enable for one run¬way, checks whether or not the next CTUs have the same setting for the same runway. If not − e.g. if CTU 1 is set to enable and CTU 2 to disable − the next CTU is ignored. If the opposite is true − i.e. if CTU 1 is set to disable and CTU 2 to enable − there are no restrictions. A runway can only be shut down by the master CTU which is set to enable for it. The other CTUs in the chain are set to disable.

3.4.5.3 Automatic Disable (Forced Shutdown) The GP, LLZ and marker stations can be disabled automatically. Two stations (master stations), whose alarms are to cause the stations to be shut down, can be defined for each of the above types. They are defined with the runway select bit, which is ANDed with the automatic disable bit.

There are two configurable times for each master station to which the automatic disable function is to apply. The first time determines the delay after an alarm before the station is shut down ("ON" time). The second time defines the delay which elapses before the station is switched on again after the alarm ("OFF" time).




The following rules must be observed when defining the automatic disable states:

− The automatic disable function is activated for a station (or remains active) if one of the master stations has an alarm for longer than the "ON" time.

− The automatic disable function is deactivated if all the master stations have no more alarms for longer than the "OFF" time.

In all other situations, the automatic disable state remains the same. When the REU is started up, an alarm at a master station does not activate the automatic disable function. This is not possible until either 60 seconds have passed since the master station alarm was tripped or after the alarm has been canceled again. In the case of the markers, the automatic disable state is frozen when PC or switch control is set and not updated again until the markers no longer have PC or switch control.

MAINTENANCE

4.1 ORDINARY MAINTENANCE

There are no activities for ordinary maintenance.

4.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Preventive Maintenance is scheduled in, weekly, monthly or yearly measures which are necessary or recommended. The following table contains these recommendations.

After initial setup Basic settings: For first alignment procedures (LLZ, GP, FFM, CVOR, DVOR) the ADRACS user program has to be used, see Technical Manual ADRACS, code no. 83140 55324, section 1.6.2. For DME/TACAN refer to the appropriate technical manuals.

Dial numbers: It is useful to generate a dial number directory. This is done with ADRACS command ’Edit phonenumber File’ of the ’RC Management’ menu ’File Transfer’. The directory is created automatically in the file ...\<site name>\*.ptt in the PC.

Weekly HISTORY file: The HISTORY file of a station should be stored in the PC. It is recommended to do this weekly at first. Afterwards it may be done monthly or if a change in history has taken place.

Back−Up: A regular back−up of collected data on a separate floppy disk or at least a regular printout should be performed to prevent data loss of maintenance data, collected over a longer period. It is recommended to do this weekly at first. Afterwards it may be done monthly or if a change has taken place.

Monthly DATE/TIME: It is recommended to check the correctness of the REU date and time. An incorrect time or date will result in differences in summer time and winter time setting or in other differences. If the time and date are incorrect, adjust with the ADRACS function ’Date&Time REU’ of the ’RC Management’ menu.

Yearly No recommended activities.




4.3 TROUBLESHOOTING

This paragraph covers tracing and replacement of faulty modules that can be repaired in a properly equipped

laboratory.

A malfunction on a CSB board may cause the following faults:

1. incorrect indications on the front panel, or LEDs that do not light up, or wrong labels on alphanumeric

displays;

2. pushbutton commands that are not performed;

3. one of the serial ports is not working;

4. auxiliary I/O’s lines are not working;

5. "OPERATION" indications turn off.

A malfunction on the INC board may cause the following faults:

1. incorrect indications on the front panel, or LEDs that do not light up, or wrong labels on the

alphanumeric displays;

2. pushbutton commands are not performed;

A malfunction on the power supply may cause the following faults:

1. all indications on the front panel are switched off;

2. pushbutton commands are not performed;

3. serial ports are not working;

4. auxiliary I/O’s lines are not working;

5. "OPERATION" indication is off;

6. the LED inside the power supply, is OFF (to check this, open the front panel).

First check fuses on the mains input.

WARNING: During this check disconnect the mains input cable.

A short circuit on the output DC voltage could be diagnosed as a power supply faulty: disconnect the CSB power supply connectors, extract the modules from the subrack (excepting the power supply module) and check the 5V presence and level.




4.4 MODULES REPLACEMENT

Follow these procedures:

• turn-off the RCSI unit;

• unscrew the 12 screws on the front panel; and open it with a 90° rotation

4.4.1 Plug-in modules ( power supply, modem, optional interfaces )

Open the front panel, unscrew the screws on the front panel of every module, extract the faulty module and insert a new one.

4.4.2 Modules fastened on front panel (CSB, PC104, INC)

The modules are fastened with screws and screw-threaded supports. The INC board, fastened on the front

metallic plate, supports the CSB board. The PC104 board is screwed, on two screw- threaded supports, on

the CSB board.

Figure 4.1shows the modules INC.

Disassembly procedure

Disconnect all the cables connected to CSB board, unscrew the screws shown in fig. 4.1 and the supports of

the printed circuit boards (to replace the INC module).

WARNING: The modules must be extracted or inserted keeping them parallel to the front panel (to

avoid connector pins warping).

4.5 BACK UP BATTERY

The presence of dirt or moisture on the board can increase the battery current consumption and decrease

the battery life. It’s also necessary to check that the solder side of the board does not contact the

conductive plane, in order to avoid short-circuits or excessive current consumption.

4.5.1 Lithium Battery replacement

If replacement of the battery is necessary, attention must be paid to the correct polarity as well as the

electrical characteristics of the new battery (see CSB board layout - component ref.: BATT1).

Replace the battery when the voltage is < 3Vdc, reading on proper terminals without the 5V power supply on

the card.

WARNING

Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C, burn the lithium cell. Do not short-

circuit or solder directly on the cell. Violation of the rules regarding the use of lithium

batteries may cause risk of fire, explosion, toxic liquid and gas to leak out. These

batteries must be eliminated with proper precautions.

4.6 FRONT PANEL CLEANING

Use only water and neutral soap with a soft cloth; do not use alcohol, corrosive and abrasive substances.

CONTROL TOWER UNIT (CTU)

5.1 GENERAL

The CTU is intended for installation in the ATC control tower. The CTU panel provides system ’main status’ indications and may provide a separate status display for each Navaids subsystem as well as switching the ILS or MLS to the active runway (on the optional panel RWY−SELECT).

The components of an RMMS system with one or more CTU(s) are (see figure 5-1):

− the RCSI 447 in various configurations with the INC panel,

− a Maintenance Data Terminal (PC/laptop and printer), and

− one or more cascaded Control Tower Units (CTU) with an optional runway selector (RWY−SELECT)

The INC panel of the RCSI 447 indicates the detailed states of up to eight substations with the following LED displays: ALARM, WARNING, NORMAL, DATA COMmunication and MAINTENance. An additional status indication device is the Control Tower Unit (CTU), which however, only indicates the NORMAL, WARNING and ALARM operating states of up to eight NAV stations.

The CTU can be used in conjunction with a runway selector (RWY−SELECT), which activates the ILS systems in one approach direction and switches the other direction to a dummy load. This panel also indicates the general status of the two ILS systems (OPERATIONAL, DEGRADED, SHUT DOWN) and their availability (ENABLE lamp) to the aircraft as a landing aid.

Figure 5-1. RMMC Configuration with cascaded CTU’s (example)



5.2 MECHANICAL DESIGN

The CTU panel indicates the NORMAL, WARNING and ALARM operating states of up to eight NAV stations. Its display brightness is adjustable to permit adaptation to the varying light conditions in the tower.

The RWY−SELECT panel indicates the general status of the two ILS systems (OPERATIONAL, DEGRADED, SHUT DOWN) and the availability of the runway(s) via ENABLE lamp (runway can only be switched on by RWY SELECT key switch if the corresponding lamp is on).

Figure 5-2. CTU with RWY-SELECT, Front and Rear views

NOTE: The 19"−cabinet with power supply is used if the CTU (evt. with RWY−SELECT) is not mounted in an existing 19"−subrack of a control console.

Errore. L'origine riferimento non è 5-6 stata trovata.


5.3 TECHNICAL DATA

5.3.1 Housing

For standard applications the CTU and RWY−SELECT panels are mounted as a front panel to a 19 inch subrack which is mounted in a 19 inch housing (Fig. 7−2). For special applications it can also be mounted in 19 inch racks or control consoles. The optional RWY−SELECT panel is an ILS application and only installed when required; if not equipped, it is replaced by a blank panel (see Fig. 5-2).

5.3.2 Power Supply

Input: DC +5 V (from RCSI) or 14 ... 70 V with built−in DC/DC−converter

AC 85 ... 264 V with built−in AC/DC−converter

5.3.3 Components

- Processor unit 8051 (PU−51) with generic software (firmware) to control the displays (indications) and key activations (controls).

- CTU panel with status LEDs (status of up to 8 NAV stations) and control keys (brightness control, alarm silent, lamp test).

- RWY−SELECT panel with status LEDs (of two ILS systems, runways) and a key switch for runway selection (two key switch options: 2−Position and 3−Position, see section 5.3.5.2).

5.3.4 CTU Indication and Control

5.3.4.1 Subsystem (Station) Status Indication on CTU Panel

NORMAL green Normal Operation The transmitter and monitor equipments are switched on, initialized and serviceable for the intended category of operations (i. e. No Warning and No Alarm Condition)

WARNING yellow Warning (Alert): - Transmitter(s) OFF - Equipm. initializing or (MLS: AZ/BAZ) reconfiguring - Primary Equipment shut−down by monitor - Limited Monitor Configuration (only one executive) - Local Access (local panel or attached terminal) - Monitor Bypass (one or both) - MLS: Non−essential data shut−down - MLS: C−band sync switched off - Battery operation

ALARM red Alarm: - Subsystem shut−down - Out−of−tolerance signal(s) while monitor in bypass



5.3.4.2 Control Keys on CTU Panel On the CTU panel the following control keys are available:

- BRIGHTNESS UP Increase brightness of indicators - BRIGHTNESS DOWN Decrease brightness of indicators - ALARM SILENT Visual and audible alarm reset - LAMP TEST Test of all LEDs on the CTU panel (all switched on). 5.3.5 RWY SELECT Indication and Control

5.3.5.1 ILS System Status Indication on RWY−SELECT Panel

NORMAL green Normal Operation All subsystems of the ILS system required for operation in the designated category of service are switched on, initialized and fully serviceable. It is also required that all subsystems are under remote control (no Warning, no Alarm)

DEGRADED yellow Degraded, Warning (Alert) Any condition of a subsystem, that would impair the ILS system availability or continuity of service (De−Categorization). Initialization or (AZ/BAZ) reconfiguration.

SHUT DOWN red Alarm - Any subsystem OFF. - Any shut−down of a subsystem. - Local control of a subsystem

ENABLE green Runway is available (controlled by the RCSI software) to be switched on/off by RWY−SELECT key switch (for more information see section 5.4.9).

5.3.5.2 RWY−SELECT Key Switch A runway (i.e. the corresponding ILS system) can be switched on resp. off by the RWY−SELECT key switch. The key switch function is only effective if the corresponding ENABLE lamp is on. If the ENABLE lamp is off the RWY switch is not effective to all stations (e.g. DME, Marker) of the correspondent runway.

Two options of RWY−SELECT panels with different key switches are available (see also section 5.4.9):

- Panel with 2−Position key switch with:

5.4.3 Initial Hardware Settings

5.4.3.1 General Prerequisites This section describes the prerequisites for the first setup of the equipment and gives an overview of the hardware settings. It presumes that the equipment has been factory−aligned and tested.

5.4.3.2 Assignment of connected Stations (CTU and RWY−SELECT) The top row of the CTU front panel contains vacant fields, which can be used for adhesive labels for the connected stations to assign the status indications. The fields on the RWY−SELECT panel have to be inscribed in the same way.

5.4.3.3 Hardware Settings All relevant parameters are normally set before factory acceptance has taken place. These parameters are checked during the acceptance procedure. The figures show a default configuration of the hardware settings, which may vary individually for each installation.

The EPROM of the processor unit for the CTU contains with software version 1.23 the complete software for test and operation. The settings of the address coding switch have to be set in accordance with the tables in figure 5–4 (0 = OPEN, 1 = CLOSED). The settings up to software version 1.07 are also indicated (example of the address coding switch in the figures).

The Runway Select enable switches SW1 and SW2 define which runway is displayed (RWY1 and/or RWY2) on the RWY−SELECT panel connected to the CTU.

Figure 5–4. CTU rear side, position of jumpers and default settings



5.4.4 Initial Setup

See also section 2.4.1.

Switch on the AC−switch or DC−switch (depending on type of converter) on the rear of the CTU−subrack.

Since the configuration files (e.g. *.sit) are not yet loaded, the main status of station no. 8 shows the string dNo" dstat" (i.e. ’no station’) within the area EQUIPMENT−MAIN STATUS on the INC panel). The status indications of the other connected stations are all switched off. After configuration of the RCSI (described in section 2.4.2), the names and the subsystem states of the connected stations are indicated on the INC/CTU and the system status is indicated on the CTU. The NORMAL indicators light up for the various subsystems during normal operation. If no maintenance data terminal is connected, the RCSI can commence operation.

5.4.5 Operation

5.4.5.1 Switching On - AC−power supply: The mains switch (AC−supply) is located on the rear.

Set switch to "ON" (upper position).

- DC−power supply: The DC ON switch (DC−supply) is located on the rear. Set switch to "I" (upper position).

When the CTU is switched on and the connected RCSI is in operation and ready to send status information, the subsystem states of the NAV stations are indicated on the CTU panel.

5.4.5.2 Switching Off - AC−power supply: The mains switch (AC−supply) is located on the rear.

Set switch to "Off" (lower position).

- DC−power supply: The DC ON switch (DC−supply) is located on the rear. Set switch to "0" (lower position).

5.4.6 Controls of the CTU

Figure 5–5. CTU panel

5.4.6.1 Lamp Test As long as the button LAMP TEST is pressed, the lamp test is activated: All indicators are on and the text field indicates "TEST". The buzzer is also activated. If a station has been selected before the lamp test was started, it remains selected and the request of the selected state telegrams runs in the background.



5.4.6.2 Alarm Silent The device buzzer sounds whenever the status of a station indicated on the device changes. This is only provided in the DATA COM, NORMAL, WARNING and ALARM states. The buzzer remains switched on as long as the ALARM SILENT button is pressed.

A station status change does not result in a buzzer alarm in the following situations:

- If either PC control or switch control has been set for the station. - If the runway select bit for the runway to which the station belongs has been altered during the

previous 60 seconds. - If the MCS or ADRACS maintenance function (PC) is active.

5.4.6.3 Brightness Up/Down The brightness of the indicators can be adapted to the ambient brightness with the BRIGHTNESS UP and BRIGHTNESS DOWN controls.

If a station has been selected before the brightness control was started, it remains selected and the request of selected state telegrams runs in the background

5.4.6.4 Enable Runway Selection The CTU has no control for runway on its front panel (see Fig. 5–5). The runway which is displayed on the RWY−SELECT panel can be selected with the Runway Select enable switches SW1 and SW2 on the CTU board (CTU rear side). The following options are available:

SW1 (position ’1’): Runway1 Select enabled (RWY1 displayed on RWY−SELECT panel) SW1 (position ’0’): Runway1 Select disabled (RWY1 not displayed on RWY−SELECT) SW2 (position ’1’): Runway2 Select enabled (RWY2 displayed on RWY−SELECT panel) SW2 (position ’0’): Runway2 Select disabled (RWY2 not displayed on RWY−SELECT)

Figure 5–6. CTU rear side, position of RWY−SELECT enable switches SW1 and SW2



5.4.7 CTU Cascading

It is always possible to connect several CTU’s in a cascade with a CTU. The same status is indicated on each unit. If one of the CTU’s in the chain develops a fault however, all the indication units connected downstream of it will also be affected.

If there are two CTU’s cascaded, one RWY−SELECT panel can be changed over to a single CTU, or each RWY−SELECT can be used to switch only one runway:

CTU (1) SW1 = ’1’ Runway 1 enabled (Runway 1 enabled on RWY−SELECT 1) CTU (1) SW2 = ’0’ Runway 2 disabled CTU (2) SW1 = ’0’ Runway 1 disabled CTU (2) SW2 = ’1’ Runway 2 enabled (Runway 2 enabled on RWY−SELECT 2) CTU (1) SW1 = ’1’ Runway 1 enabled (Runway 1 enabled on RWY−SELECT 1) CTU (1) SW2 = ’1’ Runway 2 enabled (Runway 2 enabled on RWY−SELECT 1) CTU (2) SW1 = ’0’ Runway 1 disabled CTU (2) SW2 = ’0’ Runway 2 disabled

5.4.8 CTU Subsystem Status Indication

NORMAL Normal Operation: All transmitter and monitor equipments are switched on, initialized and serviceable for the intended category of operations (i. e. no Warning and no Alarm condition).

WARNING Warning (Alert): Transmitter(s) OFF, equipment initializing, primary equipment shut−down by monitor, limited monitor configuration (only one executive), local access (local panel or attached terminal), monitor bypass (one or both), battery operation

ALARM Alarm Subsystem shut−down Out−of−tolerance signal(s) while monitor in bypass



5.4.9 Controls of RWY−SELECT

5.4.9.1 Runway Selection The hardware switches SW1/SW2 on the rear side of the CTU board enable or disable the selection of runway 1 or runway 2 (see section 5.4.6.4).

The runways can be switched on (and off) with the key switch of the RWY−SELECT unit (see figure 5–7), but only if corresponding ENABLE lamp is on.

The operation of the 2−Position key switch is:

left position RWY1 Runway 1 on, Runway 2 off right position RWY2 Runway 2 on, Runway 1 off

The operation of the 3−Position key switch is:

left position RWY1 Runway 1 on, Runway 2 off right position RWY2 Runway 2 on, Runway 1 off mid position OFF Both Runways off

Figure 5–7. RWY−SELECT panel with 2 and 3 Position key switch

The RWY−SELECT switch function is only effective if the ENABLE lamp of the correspondent runway lights. The status of the lamp is controlled by the RCSI software.

The lamp status ENABLE off is a result of the following conditions:

- Datacom error to LLZ or GP and DME (if it belongs to the system) - Local control of LLZ or GP and DME (FACE LINK), no tower control - Switch control mode (station selected at RCSI, control via INC possible, no tower control) - PC control mode, if the MCS or ADRACS maintenance function (PC) is active, no tower control - DME TX1 and 2 SHUT DOWN If the ENABLE lamp is off the RWY−SELECT key switch is not effective to all stations (e.g. DME, Marker) of the correspondent runway.

5.4.10 RWY−SELECT System Status Indication

See figure 5–7.

5.5.2 CTU/RWY−SELECT

See Fig. 5–8.

The CTU is the Tower status display and obtains its data via a RS422 interface from the RCSI via connector 2a1/CTU. It consists of the sub-modules Processor unit PU−51, LED/display Driver, Status LED and Select keys. The generic software (firmware) of the PU−51 of the CTU controls the display and key activations. The CTU can display the main status of 8 subsystems. The CTU can be mounted for standard application in a 19 inch cabinet with separate power supply (+5 VDC). Two or more CTU panels can be cascaded.

A RWY−SELECT panel with indicator can be mounted next to the CTU in the 19 inch subrack instead of the blank panel. The RWY−SELECT panel is controlled by the CTU panel.

Figure 5–8. CTU/RWY−SELECT, block diagram


5.5.3 AC/DC−Converter MELCHER LM 1001−7R Option A

See Fig. 5–9.

The AC/DC converter comprises an input voltage range from 85 to 264 VAC. It is used within a CTU 19 inch cabinet. The converter inputs are protected against surges and transients occuring at the source lines. An input over− and undervoltage lock−out circuitry disables the outputs if the input voltage is outside the specified range. All outputs are open− and short−circuit proof and are protected against overvoltages by means of built−in suppressor diodes. The outputs can be inhibited by a logical signal applied to the connector pin 2 (i). LED indicators display the status of the converter and allow visual monitoring of the system at any time. Full input to output, input to case, output to case and output to output isolation is provided.

The modules are designed and built according to the international safety standard IEC/EN 60950 and have been approved by the safety agencies LGY (Germany) and UL (USA).

A temperature sensor generates an inhibit signal which disables the outputs if the case temperature exceeds the limit. The outputs are automatically re−enabled when the temperature drops below the limit.

Using option A of the AC/DC converter module includes test sockets provided at the front panel of the module for check of the output voltage. The output voltage is sensed at the connector pins inside the module.

Figure 5–9. AC/DC−Converter (MELCHER LM 1001−7R), block diagram



5.5.4 DC/DC−Converter MELCHER BM 1001−7R Option D

See Fig. 5–10.

The DC/DC converter comprises an input voltage range from 14 to 70 VDC. It is used within a CTU 19 inch cabinet. The converter inputs are protected against surges and transients occurring at the source lines. An input over− and undervoltage lock−out circuitry disables the outputs if the input voltage is outside the specified range. All outputs are open− and short−circuit proof and are protected against overvoltages by means of built−in suppressor diodes. The outputs can be inhibited by a logical signal applied to the connector pin 2 (i). LED indicators display the status of the converter and allow visual monitoring of the system at any time. Full input to output, input to case, output to case and output to output isolation is provided.

The modules are designed and built according to the international safety standard IEC/EN 60950 and have been approved by the safety agencies LGY (Germany) and UL (USA).

A temperature sensor generates an inhibit signal which disables the outputs if the case temperature exceeds the limit. The outputs are automatically re−enabled when the temperature drops below the limit. Using option D (which includes also option V) of the DC/DC converter module includes an input and/or output undervoltage monitoring circuitry. A safe data signal output (D0 to D9) is generated at pin 5 (D/V) as soon as one of the monitored voltages drops below a preselected threshold level (option D). Additionally an ACFAIL signal (V signal) is generated (option V) which conforms to the VME standard.

6 SECTION 6 STATUS INDICATOR 446 (SI446)

6.1 GENERAL 6.1.1 Introduction The unit SI 446 (Status Indicator), installed typically in the control tower, is a repeater device of the main indications of the equipment status; by this unit is not possible to perform any actions of command toward the apparatus.

A beeper allows to warn for events, change of the status (and therefore of out of order) of one of the connected equipment.

Every single equipment is defined by a name formed by min. two and max. four alphanumeric characters highlighted on the displays of the front panel. This name is software configured through PC by which it is possible to visualize every functional message regarding the equipment managed. The brightness of the indication LEDs and the alphanumeric displays can be varied through the double function front buttons: LAMP-test and SIL (see table 6.3).

6.1.2 Applications SI 446 can be connected to the remote unit RCSI or directly driven from the unit LCSU of the equipment to be controlled.

Some typical applications are shown in figure 6.1 and 6.2 respectively for SI 446-8 and SI 446-2.

Different applications are possible by opportunely defining the type of connected node during the software configuration of the unity SI 446 as indicated in the following paragraphs.

The connection is made through a serial connecting RS422 cable for a max. length of 1000 m.

Figure 6.6 and table 6.2 report connector pin-out. As alternative, for greater distances, the connection can be made through external modem towards a leased or switched telephone line.

An application example for the management of single equipment is shown in figure 6.8.

The unit is able to signal the status of up to eight different equipments (for front and rear panels see figure 6.3).

6.1.3 Composition SI 446 contains:

6.2.2 Front panel and module SID (Status Indicator Display) The front panel, with the module SID (Status Indicator Display), supplies the visualization of the functional status of the managed equipments. There are two buttons: Lamp-test button and buzzer-off (SIL) button, this last with alternative function for regulating the brightness of the indications (see Table 6.3).

The functionality of the module SID (similar to module INC of RCSI) is shown in the block diagram of figure 6.7.

The indications of the front panel are divided in two main sections (Fig. 6.3):

- the first section, is dedicated to the functionality of SI 446.

- the second section, on the left side, is dedicated to information coming from the equipments (Equipment status).

6.2.2.1 Section for the functionality of SI 446 In this section, which reference is made with the term SI, the indications and the controls refer to SI446

itself and not to the managed equipment.

The followings devices are foreseen:

DEVICE FUNCTION

Button LAMP Test

Pressed for less than 0,5 sec it is used for checking the correct operation of all the visual indicators and buzzer. In fact, its field of action is wider than the simple control of LEDs, as it can verify that the CPU has acquired the command and is able to manage the output registers correctly. The led test is performed extinguishing all LEDs and lighting one by one, and then restoring the initial configuration. This test runs automatically switching the unit.

Key pressed for more than 0,5s brings the variation of brightness of the Leds. Every 0,5s vary the levels of brightness of all the LEDs; releasing the key, the brightness remains frozen, with the intensity defined at that time. The cycle of brightness variation from a minimum to a maximum level is repeated holding pressed in continuity the button.

Button SIL

Used to silence the buzzer when the key is pressed for less than 0,5s. The sound is interrupted up to the following change of state.

The key pressed for more than 0,5s brings the variation of brightness of the alphanumeric displays. Every 0,5s vary the levels of brightness of all the displays; releasing the key, the brightness remains frozen with intensity defined at that time. The cycle of brightness variation from a minimum to a maximum level is repeated holding pressed in continuity the button.

Led ON (green) Visualizes the functionality of the Unit SI

Buzzer Activated for the followings conditions and can be disabled through jumper on the PBA SID:

− duration of 100ms during the Lamp-test − duration of 100ms to signal the acquisition of a pressed key − duration of 10s for every status change

Table 6.3 - Front Panel - Devices of section SI



6.2.2.2 Equipment Section (Equipment status) For every equipment the following indications are visualized; at least one of the three indications of every

equipment must be turned on always:


ALARM red Signals that the radiated signal of the equipment is not guaranteed for the followings conditions: − equipment in off condition − equipment in shut-down condition − in maintenance − breakdown on the communication line (data com fty)

WARNING yellow Signals a degrade condition: − Equipment with out of order TX (TX hard/soft alarm) − Equipment operating by battery − Equipment with one or more active warning

6.5.1.2 Software Installation For installation, proceed as follows:

1. insert the diskette in a diskette drive (for example a:)

2. type <a:[ENTER]>

3. type <install c:\util_xxx[ENTER]> (the name of the directory can be selected by the user at required)

“install.exe” program creates the c:\util_xxx directory (if it is not already present) and loads the files in this after decompressing them.

If the directory exists, the program asks whether all the files are to be deleted or whether the operation is to be canceled.

Enter ‘y’ to delete all the files and then load the new files. Enter ‘n’ to abort installation.

At the end of the installation, if no problems have arisen, the following message is displayed:

Installation correctly performed

At this point the directory contains the following files:

emul.exe a program that transforms the PC into a terminal emulator for configuration

modem.exe a file that facilitates the configuration of an external modem

*.mdm files containing modem configuration data. They are used with the modem.exe program

6.5.1.3 Running the configuration program or the configuration proceed as follows:

1. connect a PC to the units concerned as shown in figure 2.1.

2. run the emul.exe program (if the PC port is not COM1, use the <emul 2[ENTER]> command

3. switch ON the SI446 unit (or reset the CPU: only to lab purposes)

4. when the initial screen page is displayed, press the space bar quickly at least 3 times to enter configuration mode. If this request is not met, the program running on the SI446 does not enter configuration mode but start its normal service. As only a few seconds are allowed to press the bar, repeat point 3 if the bar is not pressed in time.

5. In this situation, the program drives the display and keyboard of the PC that runs on the SI446 except for the last line associated to use of certain function keys managed by the PC itself.

6. Run the configuration procedure following the menu proposed and the instructions contained in the paragraph 2-2 “INSTRUCTIONS FOR SI446 CONFIGURATIONS”.

7. After saving the variations in the EEPROM, and exporting all the configuration data onto a diskette, to close correctly :

- enter <0[ENTER]> so that the RCSI exits the configuration procedure

- press F10-quit to close the emul.exe program on the PC

6.5.1.4 External modem configuration When an external modem is used, connected in alternative to RS422/485, the modem must be configured to adapt it to the specific service to be provided.

This can be done in two ways:

1. connect a PC with the “terminal emulation” program to the modem and, using a set of AT commands, modify the parameters required. This method is time consuming as it is possible to modify one parameter a time and requires detailed knowledge of modem parameters.

2. connect a PC to the modem and run the following program:

modem mdfile.mdm [ENTER]



the modem.exe program takes the configuration data from the mdfile.mdm file and sends them one after another to the modem checking correct acceptance of each.

The ‘UTIL, Configuration Utility’ diskette contains various examples of *.mdm files prepared previously for some types of modem. Unfortunately, the AT standard does not guarantee that all modems have the same commands. Therefore, it is usually necessary to prepare the related *.mdm files for each type of modem.

The user according to one of the existing examples can edit these files, using a normal text editor to modify the parameters required.

The “AT” main parameters to be configured to work correctly with the LCSU are:

AT&L0(1) line type

ATB0 CCITT full duplex standard

ATFn line speed

AT&C1 Interface criteria forced to work state

ATX0 Blind dial without busy or ready tone recognition

AT&D3 DTR transition ON > OFF cause modem reset

AT&G0 Guard tone disabled

ATS10=40 Carrier faulty disconnect delay time 1/10 sec

ATT(P) Tone/pulse dialing

Main functions acronyms, used on modem:

DCE : Data Communication (or Circuit-Terminating) Equipment - MODEM

DTE : Data Terminal (or Terminating) Equipment -TERMINAL

TD : Transmitter Data

RD : Receiver Data

RTS : Request To Send

CTS : Clear To Send

DSR : Data Set Ready

DCD : Data Carrier Detect

DTR : Data Terminal Ready

6.5.1.5 Unit Start-up When the SI446 is switched on, or on exiting the configuration, the unit starts to operate establishing communication with all sites, from which it obtains the data for positioning summary indications on the panel.

At power-on, there is an approximately 5 seconds pause, to allow the operator to enter the configuration, if necessary, with the PC connected to the “PC port connector”.



6.6 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SI446 CONFIGURATION

6.6.1 General All the programming instructions, with reference to the drawings indicated in the various paragraphs, are provided below. At the end of programming, it is good practice to save the configuration on disk.

The SI446 must be considered an element or node of a remote control system that can operate as terminal or transit unit. The functional characteristics of the SI446 are displaying the operating status of 8 different equipments.

The configuration program is activated running the emul.exe disk on the PC connected to the PC PORT; reset the SI446 (OFF/ON power supply) and the PC will display the screen page shown in figure 6.9.

Selecting the Configuration option of MAIN MENU, the sub-menu shown in figure 6.12 is displayed from which it is possible to produce a new configuration to be stored in the EEPROM.

This sub-menu can be used in the same way as the MAIN MENU except that on exiting, the program asks if the new configuration is to be saved. If the answer is yes, the program checks the data to be stored. During checking, two different error levels are shown:

WARNING Calls the operators attention but the data are valid.

ERROR Data saving is invalidated.

At the end of checking, the program asks whether you want to abort data-saving (the old data is restored) or to edit a new configuration.

6.6.4.3 Sites configuration In this option of the Configuration menu you must describe the characteristics of the site(s) from which the SI446 must receive status indications.

It is possible to SELECT add/modify/remove any site in the list.

Figure 2-13 shows the PC video. At the top, the list of sites that are present and the items for configuration that have the following meaning:

Idx Index of the sites that are connected.

Site Identification name (site code) of the site.

Node Index Node number as defined in the table in the screen page of figure 6.13, in the Node item.

Timeout Waiting time for connection failure.

N^Eqp Equipment at each site.

The possible choices of the select are:

1: Add site, 2: Modify site, 3: Remove site, 4: Equipment configuration

The relevant operations are below explained:

1: Add site

The program requests the following in the order indicated:

Site code Enter the name of the site to be added to the list, consisting of a maximum of 4 alphanumeric characters, that is written in the Site column.

Source node index Enter the node number taken from those configured in the Node Configuration section; this number is inserted in the Node Index column. In this way the communication parameters are linked with the site management characteristics.

Full connection time-out

Enter the time in seconds; this will be written in the Timeout column.

When this time expires the SI446 consider the connection as failed. Consequently the status indication LEDs of the Control Panel are switched off.

The time inserted must take into account the connection type in the path towards the site and any intermediate nodes. For example, if, between the SI446 you are programming and the site, another two RCSI units are connected on a switched line, the time to be inserted must be not less than 60 seconds, as a few seconds are required to make the connection.

At this point, the configuration is partly complete, as you must define the type of the equipment managed by the LCSU unit. This may be carried out with option 4: Equipment configuration as explained in the next pages.

2: Modify site


Site index Enter the number of the site to be modified.

Site code Enter the name of the site to be added to the list, consisting of a maximum of 4 alphanumeric characters; this is written in the Site column.

Source node index Enter the node number taken from those configured in the Node Configuration section; this number is inserted in the Node Index column. In this way the communication parameters are linked with the site management characteristics.



Full connection time out

Enter the time in seconds; this will be written in the Timeout column.

When this time expires, the SI446 considers the connection as failed. Consequently, the status indication LEDs of the Control Panel are switched off.

The time entered must take into account the connection type in the path towards the site and any intermediate nodes. For example, if, between the SI446 you are programming and the site, another two RCSI units are connected on a switched line, the time must be not less than 60 seconds, as a few seconds are required to make the connection.

Then select the option 4: Equipment configuration.

3: Remove site

The program asks for:

Site Index Enter the number of the site you want to remove. With the ENTER key, the site and their parameters in the list are cancelled.

4: Equipment configuration

The program asks for:

Site Index Enter the number of the site whose equipment you want to describe, taking it from the Idx column of the initial step.

The items on the first line (figure 6.16) are:

Idx Manuf Eqp.Code Main Status Position Node Panel Pos Name

In the Idx column the number [0] indicates the LCSU unit (default) and must not be considered. Other numbers refer to equipment managed by the LCSU unit.

Possible choices are:

1: Add eqp, 2: Modify eqp, 3: Remove eqp, 4: Detailed status

The various operations are explained below:

1: Add eqp, to add equipment to the list. The equipment must be consistent with that managed by the LCSU unit. The program requests the following in the order indicated:

Figure 6.16 - Nodes connection parameter: line parameters

Leased line parameters:

Connection attempt duration: 20 sec. (20 to 120) This parameter is used to define the waiting time for the connection. If no connection is made within this time, the modem is reset and connection is re-attempted.

Attempts before error: 1 (0 to 9) This defines the number of attempts of the RCSI before connection is considered impossible.

Switched line parameters:

Connection speed: Baud rate - 1: 300, 2 : 1200, 3 : 2400, 4 : 4800, 5 : 9600, 6:19200 bps Defines the rate of the RS 232 that communicates with the modem. The actual rate on the telephone line is defined by the modem programming, which is carried out separately.

Dial attempt duration: 45 sec. Wait time after dialing; when this time has expired the connection is considered failed. The call will be made again after the time stated in the 2nd call delay, 3rd call delay and subsequent call delay items.

2nd call delay: 2 min. 3rd call delay: 5 min. Subsequent calls delay: 15 min. (0: disabled) These options allow the operator to define the times to establish a new call when the first has been declared failed. If the Subsequent call delay item is set to 0, the call will no longer be made.

Attempts before error: 3 (0 ÷ 9) Number of connection attempts when errors are detected on the connection before lighting up the ALARM led.

Call back timeout: 60 sec. Wait for the unit LCSU recall: when this time has expired the SI446 considers the connection aborted. In the Call back timeout item the time within which the LCSU or RCSI must recall is stated.

To modify one of the states, select the option required and enter the new value in the string that is displayed in the lower part of the screen.



6.6.4.5 User configuration This option of the Configuration sub-menu allows the operator to configure/modify the connections the unit SI446 sees behind, towards the users. The display is shown in figure 6.17. A maximum of 10 users are allowed. Their position in the list also identifies their priority in the control request. A user with the highest priority can, if the communication line is available, remove the control of a beacon to a user with lower priority.

6.6.5.3 Test of serial lines This option allows the operator to test the serial ports. The program requests to enter the number of the port to be tested. It is not possible to test port 1 because is the port to which the PC is connected with.

Testing a serial port means making a virtual link between port 1 and the port under test. If you have a modem connected with port 2, testing port 2 means virtually connecting the PC with the modem.

After choosing the port number, the program requests the selection of the speed selection of the serial port.

6.6.6 Activity monitor This option, shown in the screen page in figure 6.28, is useful for installation and maintenance purposes.

It is used to display and check detailed communication activities such as:

− site name configuration;

− communication modes;

− SI446 code, etc.

The test method is as follows:

− enable the test by entering 'e' under the program request;

− exit the configuration environment with 'End'.

At this point, the test is active and can be interrupted only performing a unit RESET.

6.7 CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES

In the following paragraphs are presented some typical configuration examples.

6.7.1 MCS Connection The figure 6.29 shows the SI446 rear panel and its connector PORT 2 - RS 422/485 where to connect the cable coming from the RS232/422 adapter, according the pin function of table 6.8.

To support the status display of the system in figure 6.30, the SI unit must be configured with the configuration in the file “ILS-DME SI standard configuration.cfg” described in table 6.9.

Table 6.9 - Standard Configuration for ILS-DME

6.7.2 Modify the SI 446 Configuration Three general configurations are considered:

1. a complete ILS/DME composed by: LLZ/GP/MM/OM/FFM/DME. In case the application is a subset of this configuration it is necessary “delete” (in practice make it blank) the unneeded equipment status display. Its filename is VORDME.CFG

2. a VOR/DME. In case the application is only either VOR or DME it is necessary “delete” (in practice make it blank) the unneeded equipment status display. Its filename is ILSDME6.CFG

3. the most complete configuration composed by: LLZ/GP/MM/OM/FFM/EQP1,EQP2, DME. All 8 slots are used. Its filename is ILSDME8.CFG

The following example shows how modify the SI 446 configuration, starting from the configuration 3 listed above. Due to a behaviour of SI if a slot is not required, it recommended make it blank instead of deleting it.

All 3 configurations are straight, i.e. the status of the equipment in the first place in the message coming from MCS is displayed in position 1 of the SI front panel. The second in position 2, and so on. No manipulation of the position is performed by SI, it operates exactly as a CTU.

Table 6.10 - SI parameter configuration

The above table contains all parameters involved in the SI configuration as set in ILSDME8.CFG.

As an example let us suppose to modify the configuration “deleting” EQP2.

The following steps have to be followed.



1. run EMUL.EXE , select 2 (SI446 Configuration) and import ILSDME8.CFG

2. select 3 (Sites Configuration)

3. select 4 (Equipment configuration) the figure 6.31 will be displayed.

Figure 6.31 - Equipment configuration

4. select the idx corresponding to the site which EQP2 belongs to, 2 for the site BBBB, in this case;

5. select 2 (Modify equipment)

6. select idx corresponding to EQP2, 1 in this case

7. select 1 for the manufacturer

8. select 1 for the equipment code

9. select 7 for the main Status Position on SI front panel

10. select 7 for the node Panel Position (this must be the same number as the step before)

11. type “ “ four blank characters for the Equipment name

12. type S3, Evaluation string for alarm

13. type S2, Evaluation string for warning, the figure 6.32 will be displayed.

Figure 6.32 - Evaluation string for warning


RCSI 447 - Technical ManualVol. 1 Sect. 6 - Status IndicatorRef. 955900038-EN

6-44

At this point the label of the equipment in the 7th position on SI front panel is blank.

To complete the job it is necessary to disable the parallel output bit that drive ALARM, WARNING and NORMAL indications.

1. go back to the “Configuration” menu and select 7 Parallel output definition, see figure 6.33.

Figure 6.33 - Parallel output definition

2. select port 2 because, according table 3, the bits we have to disable are in port 2, bit 1,2,6

3. type ENTER to modify

4. select 1 for bit 1 and then N for Enable State

5. repeat the above step for bits 2 and 6.

6. save the configuration in the SI and exoprt it to the PC.

If it is required a modification, instead of the “deletion” of an equipment, it is enough rename the equipment, putting the required name instead of the blank charatcter and not disable the output bits.
