Page 6


4 Installation Before beginning installation:

Determine where to place the PLC cabinet and touchscreen computer.

Verify the cable run between the PLC cabinet and the computer, is within 9 feet (3 m) or construct an extension cable that meets the requirements set forth in the print package. For a standard PLC cable

extension, please refer to drawing 43A3160/02 for pin-out details.

If the communication medium between the computer and the PLC cabinet is longer than 9ft. a communication extension option may be purchased. These options include hardwire communication

equipment with lightning protection, multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic communication media

converters, or 2.4 GHz serial radios. Refer to the print package for equipment details.

Ensure there is access for power and control wiring.

4.1 Mounting the Touchscreen Touchscreens are available in either flush-mount or desktop stand-alone units. The standard version of the

NAVIGATOR comes with a 12 touchscreen computer that can be both flush mounted or mounted to a desktop stand.

4.1.1 Flush Mount Touchscreen

Determine where to mount the flush mount touchscreen in the ATCT. Make sure that there is ample space available around and below the mounting area. Please see the NAVIGATOR system prints for

dimensions. The 12 panel cutout dimensions can be found on drawing 105A0863. The optional 15 panel can be found on drawing 105A0870

Cutout the console area to fit. Place the touchscreen down in the console making sure that the bezel catches on the outside of the cutout for a flush fit.

The power cord will be attached underneath the screen when it is mounted and should be plugged into critical power in the ATCT.

Refer to 43A3162/01 and /02 for specific touchscreen computer port connections. These will vary depending on the options purchased so please take care in making these connections.

4.1.2 Desktop Stand-alone Touchscreen

Determine where the Stand-alone touchscreen is to be set up in the ATCT. Make sure there is a flat surface for the touchscreen to be set on to ensure stability.

The power cord will be attached to the back of the monitor and must be plugged into critical power in the ATCT.

Refer to 43A3162/01 and /02 for specific touchscreen computer port connections. These will vary depending on the options purchased so please take care in making these connections.

4.2 Mounting the Equipment The PLC cabinet must be installed indoors, protected from excessive heat, cold and dampness. The cabinet must be

secured to a structure that will support its weight (137lb. / 62kg). See cabinet specifications for details.

Provide adequate clearance around the cabinet for connecting control and power cables. Enough clearance must be

left in front of the cabinet to open the door safely for service.

See Drawing 44A6580/01 for dimensions, mounting details, and suggested mounting height.


Page 7


4.3 Wiring Considerations The NAVIGATOR cabinet is wired at the factory and ready for power and monitoring connection by the

installing contractor. The cabinet requires these wiring connections:

The computer must be linked to the cabinet with the supplied cable, extension cable, or communications package option.

Constant Current Regulators and other airfield devices must be connected to the control and monitoring terminal blocks.

External power must be supplied. A dedicated 15A circuit breaker is recommended for providing power to the PLC cabinet or UPS depending on the power option purchased.

The installer must make conduit penetrations for cable entrances; the PLC cabinet has no knockouts. The cabinet

penetrations should be made at the bottom of the enclosure to avoid interference with any of the electrical

components located within the enclosure itself. If a communications extension cable is being used it is important to

bring that cable into the PLC enclosure via a separate conduit penetration to minimize possible interference

problems.

The following sections provide general guidelines only. For all wiring, refer to Installation Drawings (see Associated

Drawings and Documents on page IV).


Page 8


4.4 Connect the Computer The NAVIGATOR comes with a 9-foot (3 m) serial cable for connection to the computer. If the cabinet and the

computer will be more than 9 ft. (3 m) apart, obtain or construct an extender. See Drawing 43A3160/02 for details.

In the standard system that does not include any communication extension equipment, simply connect the PLC programming cable to the COM1 port on the back of the touchscreen computer as shown in Figure 3.

Connect the other end to the PLC3 serial connector in the NAVIGATOR cabinet, as shown in Figure 2 This serial connector is pre-wired to the other PLC racks in the cabinet.

For connection using communication extension equipment, please refer to the print package for connection details.

Connect the power cord to the ATC critical power supply. Input Power to the computer should be 110 V AC (60 Hz) or 220 V AC (50 Hz).

4.5 Wiring From CCRs

IMPORTANT:

All power and control wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician. All power MUST be

disconnected and tagged out before beginning to make any wiring connections to the PLC cabinet and

CCRs. For all wiring, refer to Associated Drawings and Documents).

4.5.1 Wiring from Controllable Element Monitoring Points (TB3 and TB4)

Alarm condition source voltage is supplied to each controllable element (Such as a CCR) from TB4 (labelled EXTERNAL DEVICE 24 VDC SOURCE). Each TB on TB4 is fused so that the cabinet power supply is protected from an outside fault. The PLC input modules are designed and pre-wired to actuate upon return of this alarm condition voltage. Hence it is required that the source voltage be isolated from the controllable element power supply by an appropriate isolated contact such as relay contacts or current sensing device contacts. If a relay is used, the coil of the relay is wired to the controllable element to provide a contact closure of the source voltage back to the PLC. CCR Current sensing/monitoring relay kits can be separately ordered from Siemens Airfield Solutions.

TB1 (labeled CCR & MISC. MONITORING FEEDBACK) has 54 inputsthree for each controllable elementfor monitoring feedback.

Figure 4: Terminal Block locations

The example at right shows numbering for controllable

elements 1 and 2.

One wire from each may be connected to TB3 to monitor

these points on the CCR along with each corresponding

common:

Primary Power (PP)

Remote/Local (RL) Table 3: Monitoring Connections

Commanded ON (CO)

Note that any, all, or none of these inputs may be used. The conditions that will be used are configured in the primary Wizard configuration.

See Drawings 43A3161/05 and 43A3161/11 for monitoring point connections.

TB3 (labeled Remote Control IO) holds the connections for an L-854 Pilot Control Radio. Depending on the type of

radio that is being connected to the NAVIGATOR, an array of contact closure relays needs to be added for the

system to read these inputs correctly. If the PCR is a contact closure radio, the relay can be sourced from the power

block to the right of the radio control inputs. If the PCR does not contain dry contact closures, The relays mentioned

previously will need to be used.

4.5.2 Wiring for Controllable Element Points

TB2 (labelled CONTROL) has 18 sets

of terminal blocks; one set for each

controllable element. The example at

right shows Terminal Block numbering

for controllable CCR elements 1 and 2.

The first two connections in each group are dedicated to setting the

preset fail-safe step for the CCR.

T

a

ble 4: CCR Connections and CCR Control Wiring (TB2)

Connect the jumper labeled PRESET from the second connection to the desired failsafe step (pre-wired at factory). For example, to set CCR #1 to Step 4 in fail-safe mode, place the jumper at Connection 7 (Step 4 B4).

The third connection is for CCI (controllable element control voltage).

The fourth through ninth connections correspond to the brightness steps for the CCR. Each step requires a separate wire to the CCRas shown in Table 4.

Note that for SAS CCRs, B1 is not required. SAS CCRs automatically turn on to the lowest step when CCI is connected to CC. Please refer to the regulator (CCR) manual to see if your CCR requires B1/B10 contact to be

energized for CCR remote control.

Refer to Drawings 43A3161/05 and 43A3161/11 for complete external wiring details. In addition, please see

Drawings 43A3161/07 and 43A3161/13 for example fail-safe wiring connections.

4.5.3 Watchdog Wiring

The watchdog is wired from the factory and does not need any field connections in order to function. The 3 -position

switch on the front of the PLC assembly is used to control failsafe and watchdog functions. The positions are

defined as follows.

TOWER The system functions as designed where the output of the watchdog timer keeps the failsafe relays energized so that the controllable elements are controlled by the PLC.

BY-PASS The watchdog timer is bypassed and 24VDC is applied to the failsafe relays keeping them energized so that the controllable elements are controlled by the PLC.

FAILSAFE The control power to the watchdog is removed thereby removing the 24VDC from the failsafe relays. This action results in the failsafe relay coils de-energizing and control of the CCRs reverts

to the preset failsafe connection.

4.5.4 Power Wiring (TB1)

The PLC cabinet requires 120V input power. Power wiring is connected to TB1 as shown in Drawing 43A3161/05.

Use only 14AWG NEC approved 600-volt wire.

5 Primary Configuration The NAVIGATOR system has two configuration routes that are called wizards, the first of which is called the Primary Configuration wizard (Detailed in Section 5). It allows the user to configure all of the controllable elements

and default control and monitoring behavior as well as the default touchscreen HMI. This wizard will start

automatically when the computer is turned on if a configuration has not been done yet. This is the starting point for

the configuration. Once the user completes the primary configuration, a file named wizard.cfg is created and it is in

this file that all configuration information is stored. The primary configuration wizard only starts if it cannot find the

wizard.cfg file in the C:\ALCSJ\CFG directory. Once the file is there and the user starts the NAVIGATOR Wizard the advanced configuration wizard starts. It is here in the advanced wizard that detailed customization can take place.

During the configuration of the system, please be sure that the provided keyboard and mouse are connected, as they

will be necessary. Once configured and tested, the keyboard and mouse may be removed for operations (which is

done via the touch screen). Subsequently, the keyboard and mouse may be re -connected without powering down the

computer.

Page 34


5.13 Using the Alarm Ack Button The NAVIGATOR reports alarm conditions visually through the Alarm Ack button and audibly through the

buzzer. The type of alarm and explanatory message vary according to the Monitoring Points selected during Primary

Configuration.

Table 7: Alarm Conditions

NOTE: If the Alarm Ack button is grey, the system is normal with no current alarms.

5.13.1 Alarm Annunciation and Logging

When the NAVIGATOR detects an alarm condition:

The Alarm Ack button blinks red and the internal buzzer sounds (or the external speakers, if equipped) until the current alarm is acknowledged. Touching the Alarm Ack button stops it from flashing and

silences the buzzer. The button remains red until the alarm condition is cleared.

The Alarm buzzer will sound for 5 seconds then silence itself for 55 seconds. This process will repeat over and over until the Alarm Ack button is pressed. Once pressed, the Alarm Ack button will cease to flash and

the buzzer will no longer sound until new alarms occur to the system.

A record of the alarm is entered in the file Vault.log, and the acknowledgement is recorded in the file TchScrn.log. Both log files are in the log folder in the program directory (C:\ALCSJ).

The system may be optionally set up with a dot-matrix printer that will print log entries of the alarm as they occur (see Section 6.8.1).

Monitoring point If selected during Primary Configuration:

Primary Power The touchscreen displays an alarm when the NAVIGATOR detects that the primary

power to the CCR, beacon or other item is OFF.

Remote/Local The touchscreen displays an alarm when the item is switched to Local control or OFF,

preventing remote control of the item, such as during maintenance/repair.

Commanded ON

The touchscreen displays an alarm when the NAVIGATOR detects a fault in the

items electrical circuit. This may occur when:

(a) the item is turned ON but no current is flowing or

(b) the item is turned OFF but current flow is detected.

General Fault The touchscreen displays an alarm when the feedback to the NAVIGATOR

represents any type of overall fault in the item.


Page 35


5.13.2 Acknowledging an Alarm

To acknowledge an alarm when the Alarm Ack button is flashing red and the buzzer is sounding:

Touch the Alarm Ack button to acknowledge the alarm. The button remains red until the alarm condition is cleared and the audible alarm will stop.

If another alarm occurs while an existing alarm is current, the Alarm Ack will flash again and the audible alarm will sound again.

5.15 System Passwords Some operations of this ALCS System require a password before carrying out a command (such as exiting

applications and controlling CCRs from the Vault application). The password for these operations is "sba"

(without the quotes, case sensitive).

Figure 35: Example Password Screen

Another instance of a special password is if you want to login as an administrator.

By default, the system is designed to automatically login as a special user named

"username" using the password "password" (without the quotes, case sensitive).

This way, if it ever automatically re-boots on its own (due to a power failure), it will automatically bring the

system back up the way it was before, without any human intervention.
