receives and transmits data to the ALCS vault computer. For easy access when connecting the redundant communication network to the ACE™, the board includes both RJ-45 plugs and quick-disconnects. In addition, the processor board contains a fiber optic interface for the optional Insulation Resistance Monitoring System.

The ACE™ Lamps Out Printed Circuit Board (Optional, Shown in figure 2) consists of a processor which interfaces, over a fiber optic serial communications link, with up to three Current and Voltage sensor modules. Siemens Airfield Solutions’s Current and Voltage Sensor Module, which is mounted inside the CCR and is required with the Lamps Out monitoring option, measures current and voltage waveforms. In addition to RMS voltage, RMS current, apparent power (VA), true power, and power factor, the Lamps Out Printed Circuit Board, in turn, calculates the number of lamps burnt out (Up to 16) at each brightness level. The Lamps Out Board can be expanded, from single circuit monitoring capability, to monitoring of up to nine (9) circuits (Additional Circuit Boards).

The ACE

Control/Monitor Display (Shown in figure 1) provides a local control and monitoring interface for each controllable element. The display consists of several LEDs that give status indication of the ACE

Advanced Control Equipment ACETM Theory Of Operation

3. Theory of Operation:

ACE™ Communication:

The ACE airfield lighting distributed control system. Distributed control technology has many advantages over traditional central control, including; Cost effectiveness; System expandability; Ease of maintenance; Ease of installation; Interchangeable parts; Ease of troubleshooting. In a distributed control scenario, each ACE unit is locally installed at or near a controllable item (CCR, Generator, ATS, etc.). Each ACE airfield lighting control network and execute remote lighting commands (Figure 3). The number of ACE™ units that can be daisy-chained together is virtually unlimited, thus system expansion is made easy.

The ACE type of CCR and/or controlled element regardless of the manufacturer. The ACE inside a small and rugged environmental enclosure that can be wall mounted or directly attached to the door of a CCR. The ACE includes all of the communication, control commands, input/output interface, and failsafe functionality for the controlled element.

Each of the ACE controllable device will have a unique factory set address and a field programmable communication address. These addresses are used by the ALCS to direct lighting commands to the corresponding ACE commands and returns the operational status of the element back to the ALCS.

Each ACE™ is connected to redundant communication networks via duel resident RS-422 serial communication ports located on the processor printed circuit board. The ACE™ network is comprised of a communications server and all the daisy-chained ACE™ units in the lighting vault. The communications server stays in constant communication with all the ACE™ units in both of the networks while at the same time staying in constant contact with the main ALCS network. This communications protocol dictates that the local ACE™ store all data and parameters specific to the controlled element. This characteristic frees up the ALCS computers from having to store the parameters for each of the controlled elements. The result of this is real-time communication between all of the ACE™ units and the rest of the ALCS even if one of the ACE™ network connections fails.

3. Theory of Operation: (contd.)

ACE™ Input/output interface:

ACE™ Failsafe Functionality:

The ACE

design is modular in nature. The input/output board incorporates a distribution bus for interfacing additional internal printed circuit boards. Adding additional boards give the ACE™ the potential of full FAA L - 827 CCR monitoring. In addition, the quick-disconnect terminal blocks provide an easy-to-service point of connection. The input / output printed circuit board contains eight (8) discrete latching relay outputs and eight (8) discrete input/output lines.

The latching output relays can be configured to control brightness steps of CCRs or simple ON/OFF control as required by the controlled element. The input lines can be configured to monitor any external event that is determined by a discrete contact closure. Some examples include generator monitoring, monitoring of Automatic Transfer Switch position, and control of Circuit Selector Switch loops. In addition, the ACE

can be expanded to perform CCR output voltage and current monitoring (OPTIONAL) as well as field circuit cable Insulation Resistance Monitoring (OPTIONAL).

Each ACE™ unit will provide a self-contained failsafe feature. This feature will insure default airfield lighting operation in the event of an ALCS component failure or even a complete ALCS failure. In addition, each ACE™ monitors its outputs and verifies proper commands are executed. The failsafe system also permits maintenance of portions of the control system without changing the operational status of the lighting system.

The failsafe mode of each ACE™ unit is defined per the requirements of the airport/owner. The failsafe modes are as follows:

CTIVE FAILSAFE MODE: This mode is executed as follows:

A  If the CCR was switched ON before the failure, it will remain

ON at the same brightness level.

 If the CCR was switched OFF before the failure, it will

switch ON to a pre-determined brightness level.

ASSIVE FAILSAFE MODE: This mode is executed as follows:

P  If the CCR was switched ON before the failure, it will remain

ON at the same brightness level.

 If the CCR was switched OFF before the failure, it will

remain OFF.

Advanced Control Equipment ACETM ACE™ Troubleshooting

5. ACE™ Troubleshooting

In the unlikely event that an ACE™ unit is determined to be malfunctioning, the following guide will help to diagnose the problem and provide a solution to quickly get the unit functioning properly. Before beginning, remember improper or incorrect wiring is the cause of most problems. So, first check all wiring for lose connections or possible electrical shorts/opens.

Problem Possible Solution

Make sure the main power LEDs on the input/output printed circuit board are illuminated. If these LEDs are not illuminated then power to the ACE™ is not being supplied. Make sure the ACE™ Power supply printed circuit board (Figure 10) is receiving 120VAC at the main power quick disconnect terminal block. Make sure that all wire connections are secure.

Channel A LED not Flashing

If the main power LEDs on the input/output printed circuit board are illuminated, make sure the ribbon cable that connects the front panel display to the ACE™ processor board is secure.

The ACE™ design allows for additional printed circuit boards to be added to the basic system. Due to the nature of how the additional boards are connected to the existing boards it is necessary to make sure that the additional printed circuit boards are seated in their connector.

Check for power indication. If all of the boards have power, refer to the Processor board LED description table (Table 1) for normal operation of each of the LEDs: If any of the LEDs are not functioning as described in the table, cycle ACE™ power and recheck. If problem still occurs contact your Siemens Airfield Solutions service representative.

Cycle power to the ACE™ unit. If the problem still persists turn off the power to the ACE™ and inspect all wires and wire terminations for loose or degrading wire. Check the continuity of the wire connecting the defective ACE™ and the next device in the ACE™ network. If the problem still persists contact your Siemens Airfield Solutions service representative.
