8. CHAPTER 1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
8.1 GENERAL
8.1.1 Introduction
The Remote Maintenance and Monitoring Configuration (RMMC) 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.
The remote control instruments allow all the networked navigation systems to be operated optionally from
central points, from normal operation of the dual systems with automatic changeover in the event of a fault
through manual operation to measurement and setting of all the possible signal parameters, as well as
detailed fault analyses on the basis of a wide range of measured values. They facilitate new maintenance
strategies, whereby primary importance is placed on concentrating logistics and qualified personnel, and
then on responding to specific failures with systematic maintenance activities rather than relying on periodic
precautionary measures. This considerably improves both maintenance efficiency and the economic
efficiency of the systems throughout their service life.
Although these advantages only apply to the modern generation of air traffic control systems developed by
ANS (in other words to the AN 400/SYSTEM 4000 and the navigation aids used with it, namely the VOR and
DVOR, the ILS and MLS instrument landing systems, the ILS farfield monitor (FFM), the TACAN 453 and the
DME 415 radio beacons, the electronic TACAN antenna (ELTA 200) and the NDB 436) the extensive range
of interface boards 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:
EXTREME 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
many different interface boards 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. As an option of the P4N processor board an Ethernet connector
enables the connection of the REU to a LAN to transfer status information from the RCSE to a host PC or
workstation.
EXCEPTIONAL RELIABILITY
All data communication is implemented using reliable data protocols. The instruments are designed for the
operating conditions specified in the EUROCAE recommendations. The DIN plug-in connections ensure
excellent contact is made between the subassemblies and the bus board. 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 with aid 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 are also possible without connecting a PC system.
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-VIII

LOW EQUIPMENT COSTS

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

8.2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
8.2.1 General
The Remote Maintenance and Monitoring Configuration (RMMC) 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.
8.2.2 Components of the System

See Fig. 1-2 to 1-6.
8.2.2.1 Remote Control and Status Equipment (RCSE)

The RCSE is intended to be installed in the maintenance equipment room. It provides separate status
display and on/off-control functions for all Navaids equipment, and mechanisms to change and display
auxiliary data words for MLS. The RCSE consists of the Remote control Electronic Unit (REU) with an
Indication and Control (INC) panel. The RCSE is interfacing with one or two Control Tower Units (CTU), with
a maintenance data terminal (PC) and optionally with a slave RCSE panel unit defined as Remote Status
Unit (RSU). The CTU is intended for installation in the ATC control tower. It 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 (RWY-select, optional).
8.2.2.2 Remote Control and Monitoring System (RCMS)

The RCMS is the equipment used for maintenance and control of ILS or MLS landing systems. The basic
configuration of the RCMS contains the RCSE and a maintenance data terminal (PC) to perform the RCMS
functions.
8.2.2.3 Remote Maintenance Center (RMC)

RMC is the equipment used at the Regional (RMC-R) or at the Central (RMC-C) site. The basic configuration
of the RMC contains the RCSE and a maintenance data terminal (PC) to perform the RMC functions. The
operational mode of the RMC is defined by a software different from the RCMS software.
8.2.2.4 Local Communication Unit (LCU)

The LCU is a device used as local communication interface between en-route navigation systems TACAN,
ELTA, (D)VOR and the RMC. The LCU comprises the Remote control Electronic Unit ( REU), which is
equipped according to the specific requirements of the NAV station. It serves as a communication interface
between the connected equipment and the public switched network, and as a common point for connecting a
service terminal (Laptop PC) for commissioning and maintenance purposes.
NOTE: In AN 400 en-route navigation systems (e.g. VOR 431) no separate LCU device has to be used as
local communication interface. The LCU functionality is integrated in the AN 400 subrack, i.e. the
LCU software is running on the already existing LCSU/CSB board, additional modems are used for
communication purposes.
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-X

8.2.2.5 Remote Maintenance Subsystem (RMS)

The RMS is used within MLS system configurations as an additional controller system separate from the
RCMS to perform maintenance, data gathering and alarm determination functions for the various pieces of
equipment being supervised. It consists of the REU and a maintenance data terminal (PC) installed in the
maintenance equipment room and is also interfaced via a modem to the stations, which are available to
communicate to both the RCMS and the RMS equipment.
8.2.3 Hierarchy of RMMC Remote Control Equipment

At the top, the Central Remote Maintenance Center (RMC-C) is used to obtain an overview of the status of
all systems. The RMC-C is connected via dialing modems to the PSTN to obtain serial data from the RMC-
R, LCU 443 or RCMS 443.
At the RMC-R the main status of all enroute equipments (VOR, DME-Transponder and TACAN-ground
stations) of one defined region are displayed continuously at an INC panel and at optional RSU’s to the
controller for enroute. Besides enroute systems, the main status indications of the ILS and MLS landing
systems are also displayed for maintenance purposes. The RMC-R is also connected to the PSTN via
autodialing modems. For special applications a fixed line interface may be provided. For maintenance
activities at the screen of the PC maintenance data are displayed. The maintenance technician obtains all
the data from the subsystems configured for this region with defined menus on the screen of the data
terminal (PC). It is possible to use the WIN ADRACS software (WINDOWS based Automatic Data Recording
And Control System) for maintenance purposes to control AN 400 or SYSTEM 4000 equipment at the
remote site. For MLS the MLS-menu technique is employed as well as respective ELTA-, DME-, or TACAN-
PC supervisory programs.
The RCMS 443 and the NAV-LCU 443 are link control units and provide central points for communication
between RMC’s and the Navaids systems. While the RCMS is connected via twisted telephone line pairs
and modems to the ILS/MLS-systems the NAV-LCU 443 has direct RS-232/422 interfaces to the (D)VOR,
TACAN/DME and ELTA-equipment. For small projects, it is possible to connect the NAV-LCU of en-route
navigation systems via switched lines to an RCMS.

Figure 8-2: Hierarchy of the remote control subsystems
The protocols for serial data communications between the RCMS 443 and the navaids landing subsystems
(ILS/MLS) and between the NAV-LCU 443 and the en-route navaids subsystems (VOR, DVOR,
DME/TACAN) are harmonized to AN 400, MLS, ELTA and SYSTEM 4000. According to these protocols the
subsystem data is continuously polled by the link control unit with commands for the status messages. To
get specific messages for maintenance a scheduled and also specific polling is provided. The specified
frames used in the protocols are defined to obtain an optimum of information within short time intervals with
the highest data integrity. A data communications error is indicated in case of command telegrams not
followed by correct message telegrams.
In case that a switched line connection is used and there is a change in system status, the NAV-LCU 443 or
the RCMS 443 initiates an autodialing procedure to the dedicated RMC-R which then polls the new status
message. Besides the status, maintenance data may also be added. With respect to DME-transponder DME
415 and TACAN-equipment TAC 453, the protocols do not follow the polling procedure as described before.
These subsystems also deliver messages to the NAV-LCU without a request by command telegrams. The
protocol used serves maintenance data terminal (PC) menus for the following functions:
- about 10 standard (colloquial) procedures,
- login/logout and password procedures
- routine check for history storage with about 50 measurements.

LGM64K (ISDN)
8.2.4.2 Remote Control and Status Equipment RCSE 443

The RCSE is an REU with an Indication and Control (INC) panel. It can be used as a simple, yet complete,
remote control unit. The INC indicates the states of up to eight substations with the following LED displays:
ALARM, WARNING, NORMAL, DATA COMmunication and MAINTENance.
An alarm tone is sounded if a status changes. Each station can be selected by pressing a membrane button,
in order to activate the EQUIPment ON, OFF and CHANGEOVER functions and to indicate specific monitor
alarms. The same status indications can also be provided by a remote status unit (RSU) at a distant location,
though it cannot be used for control functions. 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. Its display brightness is adjustable to permit adaptation to the varying light conditions in the
control tower. 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) to aircraft as a landing aid.
A variety of interface boards is available for serial or parallel data I/O, installing an ETHERNET interface,
connecting a PC and autodialing via the public network, so that the system has a considerable potential for
expansion. The connections to the NAV stations are set up via modems and telephone lines (600 ohms).
The control and indication panels are connected by means of serial RS422 interfaces.
8.2.4.3 Remote Control and Monitoring System RCMS 443

The maintenance, fault analysis and documentation functions of the RMMC are implemented by connecting
a PC system to the RCSE and installing the RMS or RCMS application software on it. The difference in the
names is a reflection of the definitions laid down by the U.S. FAA. An RMS designed for maintenance
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-XIII

purposes has direct, permanent access to the navigation systems via separate cable connections, and is
operated independently of the Remote Control and Status Equipment (RCSE), while an RCMS uses the
same communication paths for the maintenance functions as it does for remote control and monitoring. The
following functions are provided:
- System status indication for each connected system
- Permanent indication of the general status of all systems
- Permanent indication of the current date and time
- Detailed status indications for a selected system
- Polling, display and setting of system parameters
- Polling of internal measured values (BITE)
- Continuous monitoring of parameters (either printout if a programmable limit value is reached or
periodic polling)
- 5-level password protection
- Configuration of the remote maintenance and monitoring system
- Loading and saving of setups for operation
- Logbook function, status and alarm history memories
- Selection of data to be printed out
8.2.4.4 Remote Maintenance Center RMC 443

If a maintenance center is installed, it is possible to connect several different remote control systems to a
central REU via switched lines. The general status of all the remote control systems in the network is
indicated permanently on one or more INC panels. Any change in a status causes a connection to be set up
automatically from the LCU or the RCSE to the responsible center and all the current status information to
be transmitted. The center can also be set up to poll the regional stations periodically.
The center is fully equipped to exchange such data with the networked systems which is necessary for it to
be able to perform a detailed fault diagnosis. It communicates either directly with en-route navigation
systems via switched connections or with ILS substations via the Remote Control and Status Equipment
(RCSE) at each airfield.
8.2.4.5 General Examples

Fig. 1-3 illustrates the function of the RCMS 443 ILS. Besides the ILS subsystems, terminal VOR/DME has
also an interface to the RCSE 443 ILS. The number of subsystems connected to the RCSE 443 is shown to
demonstrate the variety of subsystems. In fact the figure is limited to a maximum of 12 connected lines.
Fig. 1-4 shows a configuration for Cat.I operation for MLS (with combined data link for status transfer and
maintenance data). The LRCI used for MLS equipment are replaced in the case of DME/TACAN equipment
by input/output managers (IOM). The RCSE 443 displays the status of two MLS with Azimuth (AZ), Elevation
(EL) and DME/P. The AZ station of the MLS for the runway direction not in use is used as Back-Azimuth.
The MLS subsystems may also contain additional RMC-modems (optional).
Fig. 1-5 - a simple RMMC for ILS - shows the function of the RCSE in more detail. The AN 400 subsystems
(LOC, GS, FFM and Marker) are shown connected via a star distributor (NFK29) to a common modem
(ZUA29). In the polling procedure the subsystems are interrogated sequentially in time multiplex mode. As
shown in Fig. 1-5, for the function of the RCSE 443 the status of the DME 415 (also TAC 453) is transferred
via parallel lines to the collocated AN 400 equipment. The status of the DME/TACAN is transmitted to the
REU of the RCSE 443 ILS within the AN 400 protocol.
Alternatively the AN 400 subsystems may be connected to the RCSE via dedicated line modems
LGM1200MD, operated in party line mode. On replacement, the LGM1200MD is used in the RCSE instead
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-XIV

of the ZU modem and the NFK star distributor, in the ILS stations instead of the ZU modem. This is shown in
fig. 1-4.
A second alternative is the usage of a Multiplexer RS232 board instead of the NFK star distributor within the
RCSE. In this case the ILS stations are connected via RS232 (or RS422) dedicated lines to the RCSE (see
fig. 1-5).

8.4.5 Safety Precautions
8.4.5.1 1.4.5.1 Work on the Equipment

In order to avoid risks to persons and consequential damage to subassemblies, the DC-converter has to be
switched off prior to removing or inserting a subassembly or prior to removing a plug-in connector.
8.4.5.2 Handling electrostatically sensitive Subassemblies

When replacing subassemblies and plug-in cards containing electrostatically sensitive components, special
precautionary measures should be taken during removal, transport and installation in order to prevent
damage to the components. We refer to the customer documentation of the manufacturer.
Subassemblies which contain electrostatically sensitive components are

marked with this symbol.
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-XXXII

If any of the maintenance personnel need to touch one of these subassemblies, they should place both
hands flat on a grounded conductive surface for a few seconds to eliminate static charges. The subassembly
can be touched - preferably at an insulator (board edge, lever mechanism, etc.) - as soon as the potential
has been equalized in this manner. It is advisable to avoid touching the contacts of the plug-in connectors,
the conductor paths and the components themselves. Some of the subassemblies must be left in their
antistatic packaging or plastic bags as long as possible. The special procedures described below should be
followed when subassemblies and plug-in boards are replaced within the framework of repair and
maintenance activities, due to the risk of damage to electrostatically sensitive components.
To remove a subassembly:
- Switch off the system before beginning the replacement procedure.
- Eliminate any static body charges by touching the frame of the grounded rack with both hands.
- Remove the subassembly and lay it down on a bench with a grounded conductive worktop.
- Pack the subassembly in an antistatic plastic bag and send it off to the manufacturer for repair.
To install a subassembly:
- Eliminate any static body charges by touching the frame of the grounded rack with both hands.
- Remove the subassembly from the antistatic plastic bag.
- Install the subassembly.
- Switch on the system again.
8.4.5.3 Using Lithium Batteries

Always read the label on the battery.
WARNING
Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 °C or incinerate any lithium cell. Do not short-circuit the cell
or solder directly on it. Disregard of the norms regarding the use of lithium batteries may cause the risk of
fire, explosion and the leakage of toxic liquid and gas. Run-down batteries are objects that can pollute the
environment and must be disposed of taking the proper precautions.
8.4.5.4 Observation of safety regulations

In addition to the above-mentioned instructions for avoiding damage and injury, locally valid safety
regulations should always be observed.

8.5 SHORT DESCRIPTION
8.5.1 General Overview RCSE 443

See Fig. 1-12.
Fig. 1-1 shows the structure of a typical ILS remote control system. The central unit is the RCSE, which is
connected to the stations of the instrument landing system via dedicated lines. It includes the REU and the
INC as standard components. The REU is also used for the RMC 443 and also for the LCU 443 in the
VORTAC (or VOR/DME) shelter. Therefore the design of the REU is modular in order to be adaptable for the
different applications. The block diagram below shows the REU with the 7 available boards, which may be
present in one of the existing seven PC-slots. The maintenance functions are controlled by a PC system via
the communications interface of the REU. In addition, a connection to a maintenance center (RMC) is
available via the auto dial modem (or ISDN modem) and the PSTN. The control and indication panels are
largely identical. The control panel is black with inscriptions in white; the recessed, transparent fields are
half back-illuminated with red, yellow and green LED arrays. A separate label can be inscribed in the top row
for each system. The power supply is always +5 V and is obtained either from the REU or from a separate
DC converter.

Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-XXXIV

8.5.2 Control Tower Unit CTU
The CTU is designed to be installed in the ATC control tower. It consists of an »AIR NAV SUBSYSTEMS»
front panel, which indicates the status of each of eight NAV subsystems with one green, one red and one
yellow LED, and can be enhanced with the RWY selector, which in ILS/MLS installations indicates the
general status of two approach systems with four LED’s each, and which has a key switch for selecting the
desired approach direction. Once again, it is possible to cascade additional units. An external line
termination at the end of the cascaded units is not necessary.
8.5.3 Maintenance Data Terminal

The navigation systems can be controlled via a maintenance data terminal in local mode, for the purposes of
first setup procedure, maintenance and flight measurements. The PC control software for the various NAV
systems must be installed on a portable PC system. The serial interface parameters for diagnostics have to
be adjusted as follows: 9600 Baud / 8 bits / parity: none / stop bit: 1.
Minimum requirements:
- Laptop 386DX, VGA monochrome monitor
- 4 MB RAM, 100 MB HDD, 3.5» FDD (1.44 MB)
- MS-WINDOWS 3.1x or higher
- NS 16550 compatible communication controller
ANS recommends the following configuration:

- Laptop 486SL
- 8 MB RAM, 120 MB HDD, 3.5» FDD (1.44 MB), VGA adapter
- VGA color monitor
- MS-DOS 5.x or higher, MS-WINDOWS 3.1x
- NS 16550 compatible communication controller
8.5.4 Principle of Operation

The REU is the central unit of the Remote Control and Status Equipment (RCSE 443), thus responsible for
the functions which control the data communication sequences and organization. It also handles higher-level
system functions. The functions performed by the REU can be subdivided into 3 groups:
Internal functions
- Setting the interface parameters
- Interrupt control of the interfaces
- Data backups
External functions/Communication
- Periodical request of status data (master)
- Control of polling of the maintenance data of a selected station with the PC program (slave)
- Forwarding control commands from the control panel to the station concerned (slave)
- Forwarding the status, history status and maintenance data to the PC and RMC (slave)
- Forwarding all status changes to the RMC (master)
- Driving the control and indication panels
- History memories
- Access management
System control (according to priorities; optional)
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-XXXV

- Runway selection (RWY 1/2 SWITCH)

- Runway selection enable (SWITCH CONTROL)
- Operation/programming with the PC (PC CONTROL)
- Dual-face interlock
- Forced switching off of the LOC, GS, markers and FFM
8.5.4.1 Internal Functions

Whereas the interface parameters need only be set once when the system is started up, selection of the
communication paths and data back up are recurring tasks. The respective communication interface is
selected via interrupt-driven Serial Interface Board (SIB). The connections of the dial modems are set up via
the modem interface in accordance with V.25bis conventions.
All the data necessary for the RC system to run correctly - in other words the operating parameters - is
saved as a file in the ’RAM side’ of the flash disk (on processor board P4N 486). The actual REU application
program and the operating system (MS-DOS) are stored in the ’EPROM side’ of the flash disk (on processor
board P4N 486) in form of normal MS-DOS files. The EPROM/RAM side of the flash disk (on processor
board P4N 486) is managed by MS-DOS.
When the system is started up, the application program and the configuration file are loaded by means of the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file (AUTOmatic EXECution BATch). During the initialization procedure, a checksum is
figured out for the configuration file (CRC) and compared with the checksum stored in this file, to make sure
that the file does not contain any errors and has not been modified in an unauthorized way (the configuration
file can only be modified by authorized persons).
Whenever the synchronous and asynchronous interfaces are used for communication, either a CRC (cyclic
redundancy check) checksum in form of two bytes is appended to the telegrams, which ensures extremely
reliable data transmission, or at least a parity bit is set.
8.5.4.2 External Functions/Communication

Each time an attempt is made to communicate, the REU must check whether or not the requested procedure
is actually allowed according to the control message. The command is not executed until confirmation is
received. Otherwise, an error message is generated. If a transmission error occurs, an answer message is
never generated.
8.5.4.2.1 Designation and Storage of Events

Events are all confirmed recognized condition changes of a subsystem, regardless of whether they are
reactions to errors, control commands or parameter changes which have been placed into effect (not in
TEST mode), as well as communication errors. All events are provided with the identity and type of the
affected device as well as a time label, and stored internally in non-volatile memory. Data retention is limited
to 100 entries. The entries may be deleted completely or in part through operator functions or transmitted
through the user interfaces to a maintenance terminal.
8.5.4.2.2 Error Handling

Communication errors are acknowledged with corresponding error codes. Every error recognized during
data checking leads to the discarding of the corresponding telegrams.
8.5.4.3 System Control

The REU manages the priorities of RWY SWITCH, SWITCH CONTROL and PC CONTROL. It also
distinguishes between two operating modes:
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-XXXVI

- With DUAL FACE INTERLOCK: Only one system at a time is allowed to radiate a signal if the
runway has ILSs on both sides.
- Without DUAL FACE INTERLOCK: Each system can be switched on and off separately if there are
two intersecting or parallel approach directions.
The operating mode is preset in the configuration file. The REU also controls forced switching off of the GS,
the MARKER and the FFM, if the associated LOC indicates an ALARM or a DATA COM ERROR or is set to
LOCAL MODE, or if the associated FFM indicates an ALARM (time-delayed, 1... 60 s). »Automatic disable
on/off» is specified separately in the configuration file for the GS, the MARKER and the FFM.
8.5.5 Interfaces to local Installations
8.5.5.1 NAVAIDS/ILS Systems

The LCU communicates with the NAV systems through the existing RS232C or RS422 interfaces with the
current unchanged protocols. The transmission rate is set as high as possible, depending on the type and
quality of the link. Up to three NAV systems can be connected to an LCU (for example: (D)VOR, TAC 453 or
DME 415 and ELTA).
The individual NAV systems of a station are controlled through serial interfaces (via SIB), or as an option
through parallel interfaces (via OIO). AN 400 and S4000 systems (D)VOR), DME/TACAN (DME 415/TAC
453 and ELTA; via IOM) are connected through serial interfaces, while the older device generation (D)VOR-
3000 as well as FSD-10/FTA-13 are linked in parallel as necessary.
For the incorporation of an ILS, the LCU is installed in the form of the RCSE 443 in the engineering area of
the associated airport. With this variation, the individual ILS stations are linked by means of dedicated lines.
Corresponding to the modems of the station, the ZU1 or ZUA signal converters or the LGM 28.8/ 64K
modems are employed for data transmission. Cyclical line polling is performed through the NFK29 low-
frequency node, to which up to 6 dedicated lines may be connected. Alternatively a dedicated line modem
LGM1200MD (in party line operation mode) can be used instead of ZUx modem and star distributor NFK. A
second alternative is the usage of a Multiplexer RS232 board instead of a star distributor NFK to build
RS232 resp. RS422 dedicated line connections to ILS stations. The data transmission rate when using ZU1
modem is 600 Bd, when using LGM1200MD modem it is 600 or 1200 Bd when using LGM28.8 modem it is
4800 Bd. To connect AN 420 ILS equipment to the RCSE 443 the LGM9600H1 modem is used in half
duplex mode.
8.5.5.2 On-site Devices

Additional devices and in-house technical installations may be monitored through discrete line conditions.
The OIO card (Optocoupled-Input-Output) with 24 + 8 discrete inputs/outputs is provided for this purpose.
This card is connected directly through the bus and controlled by its own driver program.
The configuration - that is, the assignment of specific inputs to specific devices as well as the definition of the
allocated signals - is performed through the local maintenance terminal. The plug-in unit is designed for
signals of 5 V, while other versions for 12 V or 24 V are also optionally available.
8.5.5.3 WIN ADRACS Interface to local PC (Laptop)

The functions for settings and maintenance are executed by a local control PC (laptop). In order to simplify
the operations, communications may take place through the LCU and not directly at the navigation device
(no plug switching of the V.24/RS232C interface). The laptop used for local WIN ADRACS operation is
connected through an RS232C serial interface with a configurable baud rate for this.
The concept of control and message telegram transmission is also applied here. In the case of a failure, if
the queried device does not respond after a configurable repetition, a message is displayed to the user. The
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-XXXVII

telegram structure corresponds to an asynchronous protocol which is specifically adapted to the remote
controls of the navigation system.
The telegram is composed of bytes (1 byte = 8 bits). Each byte is limited by a start bit and a stop bit. A
maximum interval of 1 ms each occurs between the data blocks of 10 bits which have been generated. By
setting time loops at the beginning of the transmission, it is thus possible to recognize improper telegram
lengths. Data security is performed by a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).
The ELTA control program - ELTARC - is also invoked through the WIN ADRACS user interface. The RCSE
establishes the handshake with the ELTA control device CU and converts the data telegrams into the
specific ELTA protocol; it also performs the opposite operations.
The WIN ADRACS program is described in more detail in Technical Manual WIN ADRACS.
8.5.5.4 Interface for remote Data Transmission

The modem with auto-dialing functions for remote data transmission is connected through a serial,
asynchronous interface.
8.5.6 Interface to LAN Network

The base for network interfacing is the P4N processor board with Ethernet controller/connector which is
available for the RCSE. The network interface feature allows to transfer the information of the RCSE
containing the status of all connected systems via SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). SNMP is
a TCP/IP protocol that generally uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to exchange messages between a
management information base (MIB) and a management client residing on a network. Since SNMP does not
rely on the underlying communication protocols, it can be made available over other protocols, such as XNS
or DECnet etc. A generic »NAVAIDS MIB» was defined in order to mirror the status of the REU. The
configuration of the network link feature is implemented in the specific SIT-file of the RCSE installation.
The performance of the RCSE is enlarged by the availability of a network interface, which allows access to
the REU via Ethernet and SNMP. The following characteristics are accessible:
- Status of the REU
- Status of the stations connected to the REU
- Transfer of status changes to up to four hosts (IP address) using SNMP trap function. This trap contains
the new status.
- Definition of a gateway (IP address) for routing to other subnet.
- Definition of the IP address of a NTP-server in order to request time status every 10 minutes. Internal
time of REU is corrected correspondingly (accuracy : ±5 s).
- All IP addresses are defined in the associated SIT-file.
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-XXXVIII

8.6 RCSE SOFTWARE

The central feature of the RCSE/REU is an industrial PC system which uses MS-DOS (Version 3.3 or
higher). All the data required to run the remote control system correctly (operating parameters) is saved in a
file in a battery-backed CMOS-RAM (RAM disk).
The software is written in programming language ADA. The software and the operating system are stored in
the EPROM (EPROM disk) as normal MS-DOS files. The RCSE software is subdivided into the following
functions:
- Initialization
- Communication routines
- Communication distributor/history memories/system control
- Subsystem data input
- System security
8.6.1 Initialization
When the system is started up, the configuration file (CONFIG.SYS) is loaded and verified with a CRC
checksum. The operation mode of the REU is then selected (local mode at LCU, remote mode at RCSE or
RMC), the communication channels are assigned according to the system configuration and the interrupts
for controlling the interfaces are defined.
The sequence table is then initialized for the connected stations (baud rate, channel number, telegram type,
etc.), the switched-line modems are installed and the telephone numbers are programmed. All the flags,
peripheral chips, HW and SW counters, multiplexers, tables, etc. must be set to a defined initial state, which
is also partly dependent on the contents of the configuration file. Finally, the password is installed and
communication is started.
8.6.2 System Control

The REU system incorporates a maintenance mode, which is controlled via a Maintenance data terminal
(PC) or via an RMC.
The RCSE software controls certain system functions by setting/resetting software flags resulting from error
detection or status changes of hardware switches or keys on the CTU or INC. The states of the flags are
indicated on the CTU respectively INC panels.
Data communication error
The software flag DATA COM ERROR of a station is set in the REU software if an attempt to exchange
telegrams between the REU and the desired (selected) station fails x times in a row. The number ’x’ can be
defined in the configuration file for each station.
The DATA COM ERROR flag is reset after each successful telegram exchange.
Runway selection
The selection of the active runway system is normally done via the CTU. The hardware switches SW1/SW2
on the rear side of the CTU board enable or disable the selection of runway 1 or runway 2, which is done via
the key switch on the front side of the RunWaY Select panel of the CTU. A telegram is sent to the REU
every 2 seconds containing the status of the key switch and the position of the SW1/SW2 hardware
switches. The REU sets the flag RWY-1/2-SWITCH, if the selection of the runway is enabled (on CTU).
If the REU doesn’t receive any Runway Select telegram from the CTU for more than 10 seconds, the PC
gets the permission to manipulate the RWY-1/2-SWITCH flag by actuating buttons within the WIN ADRACS
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-XXXIX

user program. This only applies until another valid telegram is received from the CTU. Otherwise, the PC is
not allowed to alter the RWY-1/2-SWITCH flag.
INC control of stations (switch control)

The INC control of a station is only possible, if the corresponding runway is not active, i.e. the flag RWY-1/2-
SWITCH flag is set to 0. The PC control of the INC panel controlled station is not allowed, only the PC
control of other stations of the runway is possible.
PC control of stations
Sending telegrams to a station from PC (using WIN ADRACS user program) is only allowed if the
corresponding runway is not active and the selected station is not controlled by INC panel. To send
commands to the station (e.g. transmitter on/off) the PC user has to be logged in with a password level > 2.
If PC control is active the flag PC CONTROL is set.
Dual-face interlock
The REU manages the two different operating modes for runway systems, which have ILS systems on both
sides. This mode is preset in the configuration file. The two modes are:
- With DUAL FACE INTERLOCK:
Only one of the ILS systems at a time is allowed to radiate a signal.
- Without DUAL FACE INTERLOCK:
Each ILS system can be switched on/off separately if there are two intersecting or parallel
approach directions.
Automatic disabling of stations (Forced Shutdown)

For ILS or MLS systems it is sometimes necessary to do forced switching off of associated stations, if a
’Main’ station is in ALARM state. For the stations GS, LOC and Marker it is possible to define two ’Main’
stations in the configuration file. An ’ON’- and ’OFF’-time for each ’Main’ station has to be configured in the
file, that define the switching on and off delays between alarm occurrence/disappearance and the forced
switching off/on of the associated stations. Additionally, the consideration of a data com error in context with
forced switching off can be defined in the configuration file (flag ON-/OFF-CONTROL).
8.6.3 Communication Routines

The precondition for the establishment of a communications link is that there are identical protocols on all
terminal systems. Open communication between all user stations is then possible technically. However, this
may be restricted at any time, for organizational purposes, for instance. A switched line connection with an
analog (or digital) terminal, which also allows telephone operations, exists as a network system connection
for cost-effective data communication through the public telecommunications network.
Communication with the terminal equipment is implemented using different types of telegram. The telegrams
are converted by special communication routines. The data answers are checked in addition, and either
forwarded to the communication distributor or ignored if applicable with an error message. A special
communication routine is used to control the switched-line modem, so that switched line connections can be
set up automatically.
8.6.3.1 Communication Distributor/History Memory

The communication distributor RCSE can be imagined as a kind of data »turntable» for the different
telegram types between the orderers of the requested tasks. It receives data, checks it and redistributes it.
The distributor controls the chronological sequence of all communication functions. The RCSE only performs
the role of the master when the MAIN STATUS is requested from the stations and when the general status is
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-XL

signaled to the RMC as a result of a status change. All other serial interfaces are polled in response to a
request. The MAIN STATUS of stations directly connected is requested by means of a polling mechanism.
Communication with the stations is periodic and controlled by sequence tables, which list all the configured
stations. The structure of the tables differs according to the requirements of the other communication
channels. Due to the fact that no stations which do not belong to the system are configured, the sequence
tables and the polling cycles are both shortened. If there are two low-frequency nodes, the stations are split
between two sequence tables and two of them are addressed simultaneously. The length of the polling
cycles is thus halved.
The control program monitors the time frame of the individual telegram sequences. If an answer message is
not received from the polled station within the specified frame time, the polling continues with the next station
in the table. After n unsuccessful attempts (see configuration file), DATA_COM_ERROR is set for the station
concerned, and the history memory is updated due to the change in the MAIN STATUS. The status
information which is received is checked for changes, which are stored if need be in the history memory.
Since the devices at the interfaces are polled with different protocols, it is necessary to preprocess the data
at the interface uniformly for the system. It is also possible to incorporate new protocols non-reactively into
the existing REU software at later date because of this separation.
The functions at the station are realized on the one side by the application software of the REU and, on the
other, by the software in the laptop PC. As is the case with remote diagnosis, the laptop PC assumes the
interface function to the maintenance engineer, while the REU establishes communications to the individual
devices. As a result of the multiple serial interfaces, a quasi multitasking structure of the REU software is
necessary. Communications for the serial interfaces to the individual devices takes place through the
V.24/RS232C or RS422.
The application is processed in specific structures. In the Accept section, the tasks are accepted by the task
requester and queued for processing. Execution is asynchronous to the task request. In the Operation
Controls section, the tasks are, according to the current status of the subsystem, discarded or additionally
detailed for execution. In the Execution section, the tasks are executed, by polling other devices, for
example, or by assigning other Ada subsystems.
8.6.3.2 Subsystem Data Input

The programming of site specific data is required for all navaids equipment with microprocessor-controlled
signal processing for transmitter signal generation, built-in testing and monitoring. The input/change of
variable system parameters for the transmitter and for the monitor is executed by digital data entry. The data
input via the keyboard of a maintenance data terminal in a menu technique is a comfortable method to enter
data to the equipment.
For integrity reasons, the data entry (input/change) is only possible in the maintenance mode (monitor
bypass on) and besides, corresponding password procedures are implemented. In addition to local control,
executive monitor alarm and alert limits can be changed remotely by means of an attached terminal - beside
the input/change of Basic and Auxiliary Data words - .
The capability of remote data input of Auxiliary Data words is absolutely necessary. The remote change of
monitor alarm limits can ease the flight test procedure.
Due to the fact that at the remote site it should be possible to change parameters which are critical to safety,
the monitor-bypass mode (maintenance mode) is not identical to the local/remote control switching function
on the Local Control and Status Unit, i.e. the following switching functions are independent:
- Remote control/local control
- Test mode (MLS only) and
- Monitor-bypass mode (maintenance mode)
For AN 400 and S4000 systems only the monitor-bypass mode is used. For MLS and DME/P the following
definitions are to be applied:
Monitor-bypass mode defines that this specific monitor is not executive (no switch-over - shut down initiation,
even if the signal is out-of-tolerance).
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-XLI

Maintenance mode defines that the equipment to be monitored is under control of the maintenance
personnel (no monitor executive function to this equipment).
8.6.3.3 Communication with AN 400 and SYSTEM 4000 Stations

The REU is the controlling, active unit for this type of communication. The stations receive control messages
in a fixed polling cycle and respond with answer messages; they cannot issue an answer message without
first receiving a control message (MASTER/SLAVE principle). A transmission cycle thus always consists of a
control message and an answer message.
The configured stations are not accessed democratically, i.e. all the primary stations LOC-1, GS-1, LOC-2
and GS-2, but only one of the other stations, are addressed during each polling cycle. The time until the
secondary stations are updated is correspondingly longer. It is also generally possible to communicate with
two ILS stations on one channel, or with one or more (D)VOR systems. If the remote station is an LCU, all
the instruments connected to it can be addressed individually. The channel assignment is always freely
selectable. During normal operation, only the MAIN STATUS is requested from all stations.
If a station is selected with the control unit however (INC or PC), the system status data and the
maintenance data (PC CONTROL) are requested from this station as well. The refresh rate of all the system
data is reduced as a result.
8.6.3.4 Communication via Open Interfaces

Open interfaces are ones which can be used for maintenance operation, e.g. the PC interfaces and the RMC
connection. It is not possible to begin maintenance operation via different interfaces at the same time. This is
governed by access levels 1...5. Operation at levels 3 to 5 is only possible if no other sessions are in
progress simultaneously. In order to protect the RCMS system against unauthorized access, the REU
demands a modifiable 6-character password, which is transmitted together with the number of the access
level (password level).
The REU operates in slave mode with this type of communication, i.e. no telegrams are issued without a
prior request. The PC control program (WIN ADRACS) requests the system status or the maintenance data
(PC CONTROL) of a particular station via the PC or RMC interface. This data is then forwarded by the REU
to the station if necessary (control message). The answer data which is returned by the station is forwarded
to the PC. The REU is informed of the start of every PC communication session by means of the LOGIN
command (password), and of the end of the session by LOGOUT. The LOGIN procedure does not allow
more than three input attempts.
If three unsuccessful attempts are made, all further inputs are blocked for 3 minutes. This interval is
incremented by 1 minute with every additional, unsuccessful attempt, and finally increased to 60 minutes
after the 10th failed attempt. For a new site, where user and passwords have not yet been arranged, user 1
is free for the first access to the system (all other users are blocked).
8.6.3.5 History Memories

All system changes (RWY 1/2) and all changes in the status of a station which are not caused by RWY
CONTROL or SWITCH CONTROL are stored in a history memory in the REU. This stack is physically
located in the ’RAM side’ of the flash disk on processor board P4N 486. When the REU is initialized, an
initial event (history event) is stored for each approach direction and subsystem. Each history memory can
be erased by the control program for a particular date. A status change is stored after the new MAIN
STATUS has remained unchanged for at least one minute. If the status changes constantly, only one
change per day is recorded.
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-XLII

8.6.3.6 Control of Indications

The indications are derived continuously from the MAIN STATUS telegrams, and output to the requesting
point when the general status is polled.
8.6.4 System Security

The Maintenance Data Terminal uses passwords and user identifiers to prevent from unauthorized access to
the system. This is implemented in all the maintenance menus active for the different subsystems (e.g. WIN
ADRACS for AN 400 systems) for five levels of security. Not having an open system communication concept
but only a point-to-point connection, access to the maintenance data terminal is possible only at especially
assigned locations. These areas are usually only accessible by authorized personnel.
In addition to the maintenance data terminal security with the above passwords, the start of data-
transmission at the RMC’s for starting communication on switched public telephone lines is secured by a
variable password with ’6 characters’ including defined login sequences. To increase the system security,
the data communication with control and message telegrams for switched public telephone lines to a
subsystem can only start after establishing a switched line connection with the subsystem site. This ensures
that authorized telephone numbers are allowed communication accesses to a subsystem.
For the autodialing procedure caused by a change of subsystem-status, this process of communicating is
straight forward. Having established the connection, the RMC sends control telegrams and the subsystem
replies with the message telegrams.
In case of a desired communications link from an RMC, the RMC dials the number of the subsystem and
gives the message to call the RMC back. Now the subsystem reorganizes the communication with the
configured fixed programmed telephone number of the defined RMC. With this procedure access by other
than authorized personnel is avoided.
The security of the data transmission itself is ensured by the master/slave concept employed with its defined
control and message telegrams within fixed time frames. Each telegram is terminated by a two byte CRC.
The data communication is monitored and displayed on the INC.
8.6.5 INTERNET Interface

The PPP protocol has been established in the Internet standard for the transmission of data packets on
serial transmission paths with the following advantages:
- error recognition by means of CRC in accordance with CCITT in an asynchronous HDLC frame
- support of different protocols such as TCP, UDP, IP-Datagrams, DECNet, Apple-Talk, Novell, ...
- better support of the connection establishment procedure on the switched lines
The serial communication link between the RCSE and the RMC is a link on a switched line of the public
telecommunication network. The packets of the IP entity are transmitted in a PPP frame and with a fast
modem through the serial line.
Additionally to the serial communication link using the PPP protocol a RJ45 interface (10BASET) available
as an option of the P4N processor board exists to connect the RCSE to an existing LAN network using the
SNMP protocol.
8.6.5.1 PPP Definition

The PPP protocol represents an implementation of the data link layer (OSI level 2), and makes a method for
transmitting of datagrams through a serial point-to-point link available. The protocol may be subdivided into
three main components:
- a method for encapsulating of datagrams on serial links
- a Link Control Protocol (LCP) for the establishment, configuration and validation of data-link
connections
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 8-XLIII

- a family of Network Control Protocols (NCP) for the establishment and configuration of different network
layer protocols (OSI level 3).
The PPP protocol utilizes the principles, terminology and frame structures of the specifications of ISO 3309
(HDLC or CCITT X.25 LAPB). The PPP applies the HDLC principle on an asynchronous serial connection.
The control principle corresponds to ISO 4335. The integrity of the data is ensured in accordance with HDLC
by a CRC-CCITT. Upon the establishment of a PPP connection, both stations send LCP packets (link
control). These packets serve to configure and test the link.
After the creation of the data link, the network layer protocol which is used by both sides must be configured
and established with NCP packets (for example: Internet, DECNet, Novell). After the configuration of the link
by PPP, information packets may be sent until the logical connection is canceled by corresponding NCP,
LCP packets. Determined by the clear standardization of the PPP by RFC 1331, PPP implementations exist
for SUN workstations (the BRXPPP used by Brixton Inc., for example) on the one side and implementations
for PC (the PCTCP used by ftp-Softw. Inc., for example) on the other side of the link. These communicate
with each other without problems.
8.6.5.2 SNMP Definition

The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a TCP/IP protocol that generally uses the User
Datagram Protocol (UDP) to exchange messages between a management information base (MIB) and a
management client residing on a network. Since SNMP does not rely on the underlying communication
protocols, it can be made available over other protocols, such as XNS or DECnet etc. A generic »NAVAIDS
MIB» was defined in order to mirror the status of the REU.
The SNMP interface provides the following features:
- SNMP agent
The SNMP agent is running if the REU is initialized properly.
- MIB access
Run the MIB browser.
- MIB information
Run the MIB browser to request the status of the REU and the connected stations. The community
name to read out data is »public». The data in the MIB must match the status shown at the RPU panel
of the RCSU.
- MIB information update
The REU updates the information of the MIB. Information is transferred to the MIB if any status is
changed.
- Trap handling
If a change in the status of the REU occurs a specific trap is sent. A maximum of four trap hosts can be
addressed. The IP address of the trap hosts is part of the SIT-file that is used to initialize the network
interface. The traps propagate the new status. Following traps are specified:
- REU status trap
- PC-control_1 trap
- PC-control_2 trap (only available if a second runway (ILS) is configured in the SIT file)
- Runway-status trap (ILS)
- Station status trap
- Diagnosis channel of REU
Using the diagnosis channel of the REU with a connected PC following information is available:
- data (addresses), used during initialisation
- trigger action by the REU on a NTP request; this is done, while a network is configured; it depends on
the definition of a host if there is really a request. The trigger informs only that the REU has tried to get
the actual time from the NTP server.
- transfer of data to the SNMP agent

9.3 INITIAL HARDWARE SETTINGS
9.3.1 General Prerequisites

This chapter describes the prerequisites for first setup of the equipment and gives an overview of the
hardware settings. It presumes that the equipment has been factory-aligned and tested.
9.3.2 Assignment of connected Stations
The top row of the INC or 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 subassembly should be
inscribed in the same way.
9.3.3 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 output signals (for RS232/TTL: TXD, RXD, GND and for RS422: +TXD, -TXD, +RXD, -RXD) of the 6
channels are led to the SubD 25 pin connector NFK-1 (if MPX plugged into slot NFK1) and to NFK-2 (if MPX
plugged into slot NFK2) on the back side of the remote control equipment.
The signals of RS232/TTL and RS422 output channels (Ch1 to Ch6) are led to the pins of NFK-1 resp. NFK-
2 connectors as described in section 1.2.3.1.
The modes of the input channels TXD and RXD have to be configured via jumpers X39 and X40. The
jumper settings for the different modes (RS232 or TTL) are printed on the circuit board.
The LEDs on the left side of the MPX board (see fig. 2) indicate the states of the input signals TXD (red
LED) and RXD (green LED) and the state of the output channels 1 to 6 (yellow LEDs). If the channel is
connected through, the LED is switched off.
NOTE: Depending on the type (ref. no.) of the Modem Backpanel board (MBP) actually used within the
remote control equipment there have to be connected some pins via soldered wirings.

9.3.5 Connection to an Ethernet Line (Network Interface Link)

The connection to an Ethernet line (LAN network) is achieved by an RJ45 interface which is optionally
available on the P4N processor board (see section 1.3.3.2).
To use the network feature following prerequisites are necessary:
- REU with P4N processor board with assembled Ethernet controller and RJ45 connector (X4)
- REU-SW V2.23 in the version »Network»
To connect the network cable proceed as follows:
- Switch off power of RCSE.
- Open RCSE cabinet.
- Pull the network link cable carefully through a suited opening at the rear side of the RCSE;
e.g. opening for the DC switch (if not assembled) in the back panel.
- Feed the cable to the front, e.g. to the left of the SIB board.
- Place RJ45 plug of the network cable to RJ45 connector on the front of the P4N processor board.
- Close RCSE cabinet.
- Switch on power of RCSE.
The configuration of the Network Interface requires the following prerequisites:

- RCSE is connected to Ethernet network.
- REU SW V2.23 »Network» is implemented.
- SIT-file is loaded.
- MIB Browser on host system/server is installed.
The SIT-file contains the configuration of the specific site installation. This SIT-file can be configured for
operation with or without network interface. This is because not every REU has a network interface facility.
The SIT-file for network interfacing contains a unique IP address (the one for the REU and all other needed),
which makes the REU accessible to the network. It is set during initialisation of the P4N network interface.
The IP addresses are stored in the address table of the network stack.
To check if the network interface is working, use the »ping» command from a host, to get a response from
the selected REU.

9.4 INITIAL SETUP

This chapter describes the procedure for initial setup of the equipment. It presumes that the equipment has
been factory-aligned and tested. 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 REU and the peripherals (e.g. CTU, optional) 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)
Set the following jumpers to activate the memory buffer battery before first set up (the position of the jumper
is shown in chapter 2.3):
- Processor board P4N 486: set jumper J1 to position A (1-2).
9.4.1 Initial Power up

See Fig. 2-29.
The installation procedure must be completed and all the connections made before the RCSE can be started
up. The power switch for the supply voltage must be set to »off». Proceed as follows, depending on the type
of converter:
- Switch on the AC-switch or DC-switch (depending on type of converter) on the rear of the REU.
- Switch on the CTU/RSU-subrack as for the REU, if existing and connected.
The power supply LEDs on the REU and the Life LED on the SIB should light up when the voltage is applied.
As soon as the device is switched on, the REU initialization routine starts automatically: the boot procedure
is performed, the main REU program is loaded (see also section 1.1.2.1), start procedures are run, etc. This
may take around 20 s altogether. Since the RSU/CTU has a separate processor, an ALARM indication
appears there initially, together with a message on the LCD display of the RSU: ...REU COMMUNICATION
ERROR, and a tone is emitted by the signal generator. As soon as the REU software has been loaded
successfully, the subsystem states of the connected stations are indicated on the INC/RSU/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 RCSE can commence operation.
NOTE: If the REU is not yet configured, the status indications of the stations (area EQUIPMENT-MAIN
STATUS on the INC panel) are all switched off. Refer to section 2.4.2.

9.4.2 Configuration of the REU with PC and WIN ADRACS
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 9-LXXIX

a) Switch on the PC and run Windows.

NOTE: Installation and use of the PC User Program is described in the Technical Manual WIN
ADRACS (Code No. 83140 55323). It is recommended to become familiar with the menus of
the user program before performing the first set up procedure.
b) Select ADRACS REMOTE program group in the Program Manager. Run ADRACS RC.
c) Perform Login procedure at the PC. Acknowledge ’User 1, Level 5’ with softkey OK.
d) Click softkey CONTROL in the opening window.
e) Select FILE TRANSFER from menu REU-OPERATIONS.
f) Copy configuration files (*.SIT, *.PTT, *.OIO) of the configuration floppy to the REU with
command Copy PC file.
g) Click RESET SITE to activate the loaded files.
NOTE: Due to this reset the ADRACS RC program will terminate. It has to be restarted manually.
h) Run ADRACS RC again. Perform Login.
i) Click softkey CONTROL in the opening window.
j) Load station-relevant files (*.LKE) to REU via FILE TRANSFER command UpDate LKE Files.
k) Select DATE TIME REU from menu REU-OPERATIONS. Set date and time and acknowledge with
Set New. Close DATE TIME REU window.
l) Click EXIT to end the program. The ’Program Manager’ returns.
NOTE: In case of a faulty reaction when switching on the RCSE after configuration (e.g. LIFE LED is
blinking or RCSE repeats resetting automatically several times) a special procedure has to be
performed which is described in chapter 2.4.3.
9.4.2.1 Actualization of REU Application Program (REU.EXE)

After delivery the REU application program (Standard version) is stored on EPROM side of SAN flash disk.
This software is loaded during initial power up procedure (see section 1.1.1). If the REU application program
has to be actualized by the user, the new REU.EXE file must be loaded from PC to RAM side of SAN flash
disk (using WIN ADRACS command Copy PC file). During next start-up of the system, the software is first
looking for an REU.EXE file on the RAM side of the SAN flash disk. If the executable file exists there, it is
used for start-up, otherwise the standard REU.EXE on the EPROM side is used. If the standard executable
file on EPROM side is damaged the procedure in section 1.1.3 has to be performed.

9.4.2.3 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 (former ’Face 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 CTS/RTS HW handshake is
necessary.
Configuration of AT modems:
The advantage of AT modems is the various configuration possibilities. The following three standard
initialisation strings are available which are sent automatically from the REU to AT modems:
- Init String: ATZ0
Z0 = reset with following loading of EPROM configuration
- Init-String: ATE0V1X1S0=1S2=255
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
&S = M1 (DSR) On at data connection
&D3 = ON-OFF change at S1 (DTR) interrupts connection and resets modem (ATZ0)
Reliability of a modem connection (connection build-up mode):

The reliability of a modem connection is dependent on the selected build-up mode. Two different build-up
modes are available. The safest 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 LGM9600H1 / LGM1200MD

After jumper setting (described in sections 2.3.3.9 and 2.3.3.10) the modems are ready for operation.
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 9-LXXXIII

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 telephone
number
Setting of modem LGM64K

There are different configurations possible. For example as universal reliable mode modem:
- basic setting: 2 (factory delivery state)
- baud rate: 19200 Baud
- Modem mode: Reliable-Mode
- PTT-Init-String: AT\N7S51=255\Q2F255X4S96=1S47=3
- Dial string: »AT»+»S0=0D»+ »telephone number» <blank> «host name» of this tele-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.).
9.4.3 Faulty Reaction of RCSE after Configuration

If the RCSE 443 is reacting faulty when switching on after configuration (e.g. LIFE LED is blinking or RCSE
repeats resetting automatically several times), it may be possible, that the configuration files at the RAM side
(with extension *.sit, *.ptt, *.oio, *.lke) are damaged or wrong for this site. A special AUTOBOOT.BAT file is
installed on the SAN disk of the processor board P4N 486, which supports the deletion of the incorrect,
wrong data on the disk depending on the used type of service adapter connected to the PC2 (Diagnosis)
interface at the RCSE. After deletion the default application program is started to reconfigure the processor
board.
To initiate the deletion of the wrong contents of the RAM side on the remote control unit (RCSE 443) the
following steps have to be done:
- switch off RCSE 443
- connect adapter of type B with PC2 interface of RCSE
- switch on RCSE 443
- wrong contents of RAM side (configuration files) is deleted
- repeat the configuration procedure described in section 2.4.2.
In case of a possible incorrect REU application program (REU.EXE on EPROM side of SAN flash disk) the
adapter of type A has to be connected to the PC2 (Diagnosis) interface to delete the wrong application
program and to load a standard application program from the corresponding subdirectory of the EPROM
side.
The adapters of type A and B are both SubD 9 female connectors, where the following two pins have to be
connected via a short cable:
1
- adapter type A: connection between pin 4 (DTR) and pin 9 (RI) 6
- adapter type B: connection between pin 7 (RTS) and pin 9 (RI) solder side

10. CHAPTER 3
OPERATION
10.1 GENERAL
This chapter describes the operation of the RCSE in the RCMS 443 for AN 400 (SYSTEM 4000) ILS,
VOR/DVOR and DME. It includes details of the INC, the RSU, the CTU and the PC user program WIN
ADRACS. Description and use of the PC User Program will be found in the Technical Manual WIN
ADRACS, Code No. 83140 55323. The INC/RSU/CTU panels are shown in Fig. 3-2.
10.2 OPERATION OF THE RCSE/REU
10.2.1 Switching On
- AC-power supply: The mains switch (AC-supply) is located on the rear. Set switch to »ON» (upper
position). The Control LED of DC-Converter and the Life LED of SIB inside are on.
- DC-power supply: The DC ON switch (DC-supply) is located on the rear. Set switch to »I» (upper
position). The Control LED of DC-Converter and the Life LED of SIB inside are on.
When the unit is switched on, the REU starts up automatically. This takes around 20 seconds altogether.
The INC/RSU/CTU issue an ALARM (REU COMMUNICATION ERROR) immediately after starting up and
output an audible signal. When the REU software has started successfully, the states of the connected
stations are indicated at the INC/RSU or CTU/RWY Select.
NOTE: In case of a faulty reaction when switching on the RCSE (e.g. LIFE LED is blinking) a special
procedure has to be performed which is described in chapter 2.4.3.

10.2.3 General Controls of the INC/RSU/CTU

See fig. 3-2.
10.2.3.1 Lamp Test

When LAMP TEST is pressed, the lamps light up consecutively one column at a time, from left to right, to
permit a visual check.
10.2.3.2 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 (not
MAINTENANCE for the CTU). The buzzer remains switched on until either the SIL resp. ALARM SILENT
button is pressed (INC/RSU/CTU) or the time preset for it elapses.
The buzzer times are as follows:
INC: 15 s
CTU: No limit
PC : 15 s
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 WIN ADRACS maintenance function (PC) is active.
10.2.3.3 Brightness up/Brightness down (CTU)

The brightness of the indicators on the CTU can be adapted to the ambient brightness with the
BRIGHTNESS UP and BRIGHTNESS DOWN controls.
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 10-LXXXVI

10.2.4 Special Controls of INC/CTU
10.2.4.1 INC Control Functions

See fig. 3-2.
The subsystem SELECT buttons, which are assigned to each of the eight displayable stations, can be used
to select the station to be controlled in the EQUIPMENT-MAIN STATUS field.
The INC can send commands to the selected station, if the switch control mode is enabled.
The following options are available:
CHANGE OVER button Changes the transmitter connected to the antenna
EQUIP ON/OFF button Switches the transmitter on/off. TX1 and 2 are switched on/off with the LLZ
and GP.
10.2.4.2 CTU and RWY Select Control Functions

The CTU has no special controls on its front panel. The runway which is displayed on the RWY select can
be selected with the SW1 and SW2 switches on the CTU board (rear). The following options are available:
SW1: Runway1 enabled (up)
SW1: Runway1 disabled (down)
SW2: Runway2 enabled (up)
SW2: Runway2 disabled (down)
The runways can be switched on (and off) with the key switch of the RWY Select (front) unit. The ENABLE
lamp of the determined runway must light up. 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)
- Switch control mode (RPU SW1 and station selected)
- PC control mode, maintenance active for a station in WIN ADRACS
- DME TX1 and 2 SHUT DOWN
10.2.5 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, the runway select can be changed over to a single CTU, or each CTU can
be used to switch only one runway:
CTU (1) SW1 = ON => Runway 1 enabled
(Runway 1 enabled on CTU 1)
CTU (1) SW2 = OFF => Runway 2 disabled

10.3 MAINTENANCE OPERATION
10.3.1 General
Maintenance mode can be set either at a Maintenance Data Terminal (PC) connected to the RCSE/REU or
at a Remote Maintenance Center (RMC), again via a PC which is connected there to the RCSE/REU. In
both cases, it is controlled using the installed PC User Program (WIN 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. When the WIN ADRACS program is started, password information is sent to
the REU. The first PC with a suitable password level (> 2) to issue a request is given priority over the next
requesting PC with the same password level, in other words only one PC at a time can be operated in
maintenance mode in the same system (either locally or at the RMC). The other PCs receive an »Other User
is master» message. All PCs with a password level < 3 will get access to the system. The only exception is a
request for GetAllState data (telegram for main status of station), which can be made by several different
PCs.
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.
10.3.2 Operation with a Maintenance Data Terminal (PC)

The Maintenance Data Terminal (PC) is ready as soon as the REU (1a2 PC1) has been connected and the
WIN ADRACS software has been installed. When the PC is switched on and the WIN ADRACS software is
started, the REU 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 REU and the connected stations via this interface,
and if necessary program them using the facilities of the WIN ADRACS program. The control functions of the
user program are described in Technical Manual WIN ADRACS.
10.3.3 Operation at the Remote Maintenance Center (RMC)

It is possible to poll several systems (with local RCSEs) via the telephone network, using the PC of the RMC,
and to set them to maintenance mode. Only the general status of an airport or of several en-route systems
can be displayed on the INC of the RCSE in the RMC. The subsystem select buttons on the INC are not
active. The software of the RCSE/REU in the RMC has been designed accordingly.
The Maintenance Data Terminal (PC) in the RMC can control and poll the connected stations via the REU,
and if necessary program them using the facilities of the WIN ADRACS program. The control functions of the
user program are described in Technical Manual WIN ADRACS The priorities described in section 3.3.1
apply.

11.3 REU-SUBASSEMBLIES
11.3.1 Processor Board P4N 486 Network

The processor board P4N 486 Network includes a flash disk (SAN disk) providing a RAM area (’RAM side’)
and an EPROM area (’EPROM side’). The single-board computer P4N 486 is built up entirely in high-speed
CMOS technology and integrated on a simple Eurocard.
The voltages (+5 V and +12 V) necessary for operation are supplied from the bus via VG connector. The
supply voltage of +12 V is only required for a CPU fan and for an external MAU subassembly connected to
the Ethernet AUI interface. A signal which monitors the revolutions of the fan down to a full stop can be
processed through pin 4 of this plug connector.
The processor board accommodates between 2 and 64 MB dynamic read/write memories (DRAM). The
memory is organized in 32-bit words, has one parity bit per byte and begins with the address 00000000H.
Shadow RAM can be activated in the setup in 16-byte increments for the range from C000:0000 to
F000:FFFF. The BIOS is a flash EPROM with a capacity of 128 KB. Address space from E000:0000 to
F000:FFFF is reserved for the BIOS. The contents of the BIOS can be copied into the Shadow RAM for
more rapid execution of BIOS functions. In the actual version the E-segment is free for operator usage after
booting.
The CPU platform can be equipped with an Intel 486DX-compatible CPU. Types of 5 V and 3.3 V can be
used, which are e.g. i486DX(2/4), AMD486DX(2/4) and SGS486DX2/4. The system clock can be set by
jumper field J9 to 25, 30 or 33 MHz, from which the internal CPU oscillation is derived. J2 is used to
determine the multiplication factor for the internal clock according to the used CPU.
Cold-booting the processor leads to a reset of the CPU, of the entire on-board peripherals and of all
subassemblies connected via ISA 96 bus. It is initiated:
- when the +5 V supply voltage sinks below a threshold value (typ. 4.65 V, min. 4.5 V, max. 4.75 V) for a
certain time period,
- by the »watchdog time-out» function, which monitors program execution in the microprocessor
(monitoring of read access, which must be executed at least every 1.6 seconds),
- by the excess temperature watchdog which monitors the CPU housing temperature (the temperature
sensor is set for a maximum housing temperature of +85 _C),
- by sending a reset signal to the C32 pin of the ISA 96 bus which is configured as a reset input (low
active, /RESET)
A battery-backed real-time clock (RTC) contains the time, the date, a wake-up time, as well as 128 bytes of
CMOS RAM. Data contents are secured for more than 5,000 hours with the rechargeable accu (30 mAh),
which is located on the mother board. Battery supply voltage can be interrupted through jumper J1,
especially for long down-time periods (storage).

Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 11-XCV

The processor board P4N 486 provides an integrated flash disk (SAN disk) connected via IDE bus. The
integrated flash disk operates like a hard disk and is partitioned into drive c: (so called ’EPROM side’, 3 MB)
and drive d: (so called ’RAM side’, 1 MB). The configuration files (*.SIT and *.OIO) are stored on ’RAM side’,
the ’EPROM side’ contains the DOS 5.x software and the REU application program.
NOTE: In case of data loss or wrong data of configuration files or REU application program a special
AUTOBOOT.BAT file is installed on the SAN disk, which deletes the certain incorrect, wrong data
on the disk depending on the used type of dongle (adapter) connected to the PC2 interface at the
REU. After deletion the default application program is started to reconfigure the processor board.
11.3.2 SIB
See Fig. 4-3.
SIB stands for Serial Interface Board. The card is employed in the REU for the implementation of
asynchronous, synchronous and parallel communication channels. The INTEL controllers which are used
are PC-software compatible in order to allow compatibility for the entire system of the REU, which employs
an industry PC in Eurocard format as the central unit. The bus on which the card is located is the MCE bus.
All communications connections are implemented through the connector back panel. The settings for
interrupt assignment, base address assignment, signal specification and polling logic are all made on the
card with jumpers. A maximum of 6 asynchronous channels and 4 synchronous channels may be realized in
a system.
The bus drivers/receivers serve for bus coupling and buffering for the MCE bus. The PAL preprocesses the
necessary chip-select signals, preprocesses the RD and WR signals and makes the selection signals
available for data/control words. In addition, it makes the signals available for the .bis matching circuit and
preprocesses the controls for the 8-bit parallel I/O processing.

The communications controllers are operated with the buffered system bus and supplied by the TTL clock
with a basic frequency of 18.432 MHz. The controllers preprocess their baud rate from this basic frequency.
The primary requirement for the synchronous communications controller (82530) is the maintenance of the
recovery time between two read/write processes. This time is summed with a counter. In case the recovery
time has not elapsed before the next read/write command, an I/O extension is initiated. In addition, two WAIT
STATES are inserted with every read/write process. Interface modules serve to convert the TTL outputs of
the controllers to the desired level, whereby the following are valid:
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 11-XCVI

- Asynchronous Controller 1 (NS 16552) fixed at RS422

- Asynchronous Controller 2 (NS 16552) fixed at RS232
- Asynchronous Controller 3 (NS 16552) optional at TTL level or RS232 or RS422
- Synchronous Controller 1 (8530) optional at TTL level or RS232
- Synchronous Controller 2 (82530) optional at TTL level or RS422; TTL fixed
Asynchronous channels:
The existing controllers may assign interrupt lines independently (normal state). However, they may also
jointly poll interrupt lines. Jumpers serve for setting the interrupt line assignment, selection between XT and
AT interrupts, the signal specification for channel 3. For the utilization of one of the interrupts IRQ 10, 11, or
12, it is necessary for a PC-AT to be available as the central unit.
In order to make possible operation of the communication channels 2 and 3 with the ZU1 (Tx inverted on the
KDI), configurable inverters are available on the SIB.
Synchronous channels:
The interface modules serve to convert the TTL outputs of the controller to the desired level, whereby
channel A and channel B may be offered optionally on the TTL level or on the RS232 level. The
communications controller is polled with the buffered system bus and provided with the basic frequency
through the TTL clock. The controller can preprocess its baud rate from this basic frequency.
The setting of the interrupt-request channel, whereby only one channel may be plugged at any time, and the
channel selection for the DMA operation is made by jumpers. For the utilization of one of the interrupts IRQ
12, 14, or 15, it is necessary for a PC-AT to be available as the central unit.
11.3.3 OIO (optional)

The optional OIO board is used in the REU to connect IN or OUT control signals from/to external equipment.
It provides 32 decoupled inputs and outputs by means of optocouplers. The OIO is controlled by In/Out
commands. 4 I/O addresses are used, which can be set with jumpers (J3) in steps of four starting from a
fixed base address. On default it is set to 0230H to 0233H. The OIO consists of the following functional
groups:
- completely buffered and decoded processor bus interface
- four eightfold tristate line driver circuits
- four 8 bit registers with tristate outputs
- 32 optocouplers used for potential isolation (e.g. 24 Inputs, 8 Outputs)
INPUTS: The input current for logical 0 is max. 1 mA, for logical 1 min. 10 mA. The voltage of the IN-signal is
adjustable by changing the input resistor of the respective optocoupler (factory adjustment). Forward and
feedback lines of the inputs are fed separately to connector J1. The inputs are protected by antiparallel
connected diodes. Interference pulses are suppressed by RC-filters in the signal path.
OUTPUTS: The output drive capability is max. 150 mA, the supply voltage is 35 V. Forward and feedback
lines of the outputs are fed separately to connector J1. The outputs are protected by antiparallel connected Z
diodes. Switch-over time is approx. 100 ms depending on the actual pull-up resistor. During/after a system
reset all outputs are at the same potential because the optocouplers are not conductive. The definition of the
outputs and the associated levels is set by the initialization program.
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 11-XCVII

11.3.4 Ethernet Controller (optional)

The optional Ethernet controller allows the REU to be linked up to a THIN-Wire Ethernet network (LAN). A
processor board UPB 80C486DX is necessary to support this option.
11.3.5 ADC (optional)

The optional ADC board enables up to 16 single-ended channels and up to 8 double-ended channels to be
coupled to analog signals converted to digital signals by the 13-bit A/D converter.
11.3.6 Modem LGM
11.3.6.1 LGM28.8
See Fig. 4-4.
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).

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
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 11-XCVIII

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, autodial.
11.3.6.2 LGM64K (ISDN Modem)

The LGM 64K is an ISDN terminal adapter (module) in the Eurocard format for the use of public ISDN
switched lines and dedicated lines. In terms of hardware, the LGM64K is built up the same as the LGM28.8,
and the pins are compatible. It possesses the same operations set and the same definitions for the DIP
switches. In software, the module is configured through AT and V.25bis commands and the hardware is
configured through DIP switches. The modem is connected to the line through the S0 terminal and can be
operated through the implemented D channel protocols 1TR6 and DSS1 both in the national and in the
European ISDN network. One B channel with 64 Kbits/sec is available for data transmission. Data
transmission to the terminal device may take place either synchronously or asynchronously through the
serial interface (TTL level on the VG bar). Matching the speed of the serial interface to the ISDN speed of 64
Kbits/sec is managed by the bit rate adaptation according to ITU-T V.110. The LGM64K modem may be
remotely configured.
11.3.6.3 Connection Setup
11.3.6.3.1 Connection Setup via Switched Circuits

Autodialing
»Autodialing» means that the connection is set up by the modem automatically. The desired telephone
number is transferred to the modem by means of a command. This dialing command can be preceded by a
command for setting the transmission parameters. The commands can be transferred automatically with the
desired data (transmission parameters and telephone number) by the communication program. The user
does not need to do anything more.
11.3.6.4 Dedicated Line Modem LGM1200MD

See Fig. 4-5.
The LGM 1200MD 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 optimised 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 LGM 1200MD 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).
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 11-XCIX

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).
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.
11.3.6.5 Dedicated Line Modem LGM9600H1

The LGM9600H1 is a universally applicable half duplex permanent line modem. The data transfer rate is
1200 or 600 bit/s. It occupies one LGM slot.
The LGM9600H1 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. 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.

11.3.6.6 LGM Extender 2 Unit

The LGM Extender 2 Unit is an opto- and electrically isolated level converter. It is able to convert TTL signals
to RS232 resp. to RS422 signals and vice versa. The maximum data transfer rate is 38.4 kbit/s (for RS232).
The LGM Extender 2 Unit occupies one LGM slot and is normally plugged into LGM4 slot of RCSE subrack.
The RS232 resp. RS422 outputs are led to CEPT plug outputs La, Lb, a2, b2, G, E, TXA, TXB, RXA, RXB
(CEPT plug X1, see fig. 4-6). The signals are connected to the pins of LGMx (x=1..4, preferred 4) as
described in section NO TAG. This signals are also led to plug X4, a conversion from Speedy 10 (X4) to DB
9 (LGMx connector) results in the same pin assignment than for LGMx connector. This is not used for RCSE
application. Another Speedy 10 connector X3 is provided to the user for RS232 data test purposes, the
signals are not opto- and electrically isolated, the signal levels are indicated via LEDs (V1..V16).
All output signals can be inverted by setting the jumpers X20 to X27 on the LGM Extender board. The
terminal bars S1 and S2 are not used for RCSE connection (see also section NO TAG).

11.3.7 Modem ZU1

See Fig. 4-7.
The ZU1 is a voice frequency telegraphy facility (VFT) for transmitting digital signals on transmission links
with a frequency range between 300 Hz and 3.4 kHz, such as telephone lines. The modulation method is
frequency shift keying (FSK). The ZU1 can transmit data asynchronously in any code up to a maximum
telegraphic speed of 600 baud. The information which must be transmitted to the navigation station (voice
frequency telegraphy signals) takes the form of commands and interrogations. The center transmission
frequency is 2760 Hz, with a frequency deviation of ±200 Hz. These signals are converted into DC signals in
the modem and supplied to the navigation station via a V.24 interface.
In the opposite direction, the information which must be transmitted to the remote control system - status
messages and acknowledgments - is offered to the V.24 interface of the ZU1 by the navigation station in the
form of DC signals. The modem converts the information into AC signals with a center transmission
frequency of 1320 Hz and a frequency deviation of ±200 Hz. The connection is implemented using a 2-wire
line on which duplex operation is possible. The main functional units of the ZU1 are the balanced-to-
unbalanced transformer, the receive branch and the transmit branch.
The modulator IS7 converts the digital DC signals into AC signals. The frequency of an RC generator is shift-
keyed by a control signal. The modulator has a transmitter disconnection facility IS8, which allows the sound
to be switched on and off by remote control. The quiescent tone is switched off automatically if the control
line is interrupted. The transmit filter is an active, 4th-order filter. It serves to limit the frequency spectrum of
the modulated signal. The gain of the filter can be set with jumpers to ±0 dB, -3 dB, -6 dB or -9 dB. The
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 11-CI

transmit level is set approximately by a voltage divider, which is decoupled from the transmit filter by means
of a buffer preamplifier. The level can be reduced by up to 30 dB in steps of 10 dB. The fine setting is made
in steps of 3 dB using the transmit filter.
The line disconnection circuit IS11 isolates the transmitter and the receiver jointly from the trunk circuit. The
trunk circuit is disconnected automatically if the control line is interrupted. It is matched to the ZU1 by a
balanced-to-unbalanced transformer, and is therefore electrically isolated from it and terminated with 600 W.
Test sockets are provided on the front panel of the ZU1 for measuring the transmit and receive levels. The
ZU1 is set to 4-wire operation in conjunction with the NFK.
The receive preamplifier IS2 has two stages. Its gain can be set to either 6 dB or 26 dB. The receive filter is
a 5-stage L/C filter with a band-pass characteristic. A limiting amplifier IS3 is connected to the output of the
receive filter. It amplifies the signal which has been attenuated by the receive filter, and its limiting action
prevents the downstream demodulator from being overdriven. This reduces the effects of level fluctuations
on the transmission path.

11.3.8 Modem ZUA29

See Fig. 4-8.
The ZUA is an interface board for converting a V.24/V.28 (RS232C) or V.11 (RS422) interface to an FSK
signal (frequency shift keying) according to CCITT V.23 (half duplex operation). The digital interface can be
set to either V.24/V.28 or V.11. It is possible to connect transmission links with a frequency range of 300 Hz
to 3.4 kHz, and to transmit data asynchronously and code-transparently up to a rate of 1200 baud. The
information which must be transmitted (voice frequency telegraphy signals) takes the form of commands and
interrogations. The center transmission frequency at 1200 Bd (standard setting) is 1700 Hz, with a frequency
deviation of ±400 Hz (i.e. fu=1300 Hz and fo=2100 Hz). The connection is implemented using a 2-wire line.
The received information (status messages and acknowledgments) is converted into DC signals in the
modem and supplied to the connected station via the V.24 interface. In the opposite direction, the
information (commands and interrogations) which must be transmitted from the connected station are
offered to the V.24 interface of the ZUA in the form of DC signals. The modem converts this information into
modulated AC signals.
In conjunction with the NFK, the ZUA29 is set to 4-wire operation, 1200 Bd, V.23.
The ZUA incorporates a 2/4-wire amplifier, which can be looped into a transmission path in order to
compensate the attenuation. It is also used as a switching network for coupling the FSK transmit and receive
signals in and out. The amplifier is switched permanently in 4-wire mode; in 2-wire mode, it is through-
connected in the desired direction according to the incoming levels. Sequence control is handled by a
microcomputer (63701 type).
The ZUA can be looped in to implement a transition from 2-wire to 4-wire lines. Tandem operation with a
high input impedance and a variable output impedance is also possible. The microcomputer monitors the
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 11-CII

transmit signal of the ZUA and disconnects the transmit direction as soon as the transmit level is switched on
for more than 1 s. A watchdog timer checks that the microcomputer is functioning correctly. The voltage
monitor trips a reset if the 5 V operating voltage is no longer present.

In addition, a continuous tone can be switched in the transmit direction in order to adjust the level of the
ZUA. The tone can either have a constant frequency or be an FSK signal for tuning the internal FSK
receiver. The activity of the transmit and receive data and the levels on the connected lines are indicated by
LEDs. The connected trunk circuits are accessible via ISEP test sockets on the front panel. The gain can be
set separately with jumpers for each transmission direction. The signals of F11 and F21 are supplied to the
modem.
The transmit signal of the modem is switched to the F12 and F22 outputs with the signal of the analog switch
(MRTS). The transmit level of the modem can be set jointly for both outputs by means of jumpers. The LD A
and LD B LEDs indicate the receive levels of F11 and F21, while the TxD and RxD LEDs indicate activity on
the transmit and receive data lines. The CTRS interface signal switches the transmit level of the modem via
MRTS. The MDCD input signal is switched to the TCRR interface line and indicates readiness to receive.

NFKs with up to 12 lines can be connected in the REU. If NFKs are used in the top section, each line can be
switched to a standby top section as a simulated standby line. A common transformer of the NFK in the top
service section is used for the service line and the simulated standby line. Each line can be disconnected
separately by means of a control line.
The control inputs are electrically isolated from NFK ground. The control states of the lines are indicated by
means of LEDs on the front panel (LED lit = line disconnected). All the inputs/outputs of the line interface
have a balanced impedance of 600 W and are electrically isolated from one another. The transmit and
receive levels can be measured at the test sockets on the front panel.

11.3.10 Multiplexer RS232

The Multiplexer RS232 (MPX) board is used to connect ILS subsystems (e.g. LOC, GS) via dedicated lines
to the RCSE. Each Multiplexer RS232 board provides six of these dedicated lines. The board is used within
remote control equipment instead of the star distributor NFK29. On the ILS subsystem side an RS232 resp.
RS422 modem builds the dedicated line connection instead of a ZU modem.
The MPX board has to be plugged into the NFK1 or NFK2 slot of the remote control subrack. It is also
possible to use two of the MPX boards (plugged into NFK1 and NFK2 slots) to provide 12 of the dedicated
line connections to ILS subsystems.
The 6 outputs (channels) of the MPX board are configurable via jumpers. The possible output modes are
RS232, RS422 or TTL. The mode of the TXD and RXD (RS232 or TTL) input channels for the board is also
configurable. LEDs on the front side of the board indicate the state of the TXD and RXD input channels and
of the output channels 1 to 6.

11.3.11.1.3 AC/DC-Converter MELCHER LM 1001-7R Option A

See fig. 4-12.
The AC/DC converter comprises an input voltage range from 85 to 264 VAC. It is used within a CTU or RSU
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.

See fig. 4-14.
The DC/DC converter comprises an input voltage range from 14 to 70 VDC. It is used within a CTU or RSU
19 inch cabinet. The converter inputs are protected against surges and transients occuring at the source

11.4 CTU/RWY SELECT

See Fig. 4-15.
The CTU is the Tower status display and obtains its data via a RS422 interface from the REU via connector
2a1/CTU. It consists of the submodules 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.

11.5 RCSE 443 SOFTWARE
11.5.1 General
The central feature of the RCSE/REU is an industrial PC system which uses MS-DOS (Version 3.3 or
higher). All the data required to run the remote control system correctly (the operating parameters) is saved
in a file on the ’RAM side’ of the flash disk on the processor board P4N 486. The actual RC program and the
operating system (MS-DOS) are stored on the ’EPROM side’ of the flash disk on the processor board P4N
486 as normal MS-DOS files.
11.5.1.1 Data Protection

The flash disk on the processor board P4N 486 is managed by MS-DOS. MS-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. The only
exception (for historical reasons) is communication via the ZU1 with the various SYSTEM 4000 navaids
stations, which have in the past been remote-controlled with the RCMS 4000. A parity byte is used to protect
this data.
11.5.1.2 Maintenance Mode and Password

The REU system incorporates a maintenance mode, in which the REU itself and all the stations can be
operated and programmed. The maintenance mode is controlled via the following interfaces:
- Maintenance Data Terminal (PC)
- Remote Maintenance Center (RMC)
- Ethernet LAN (planned)
In order to protect the REU system against outside, unauthorized access at these open interfaces, the REU
demands that a code be entered (variable password with 6 characters). A login command and the
<password> are transferred to the REU whenever the WIN ADRACS control program is started; a logout
command is transferred when it is exited.
The login procedure does not allow more than 3 input attempts. The first three unsuccessful attempts are
acknowledged with the following 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.
Base Dec. 1999 Airsys Navigation Systems 11-CXI

11.5.2 Communication via Switched Lines (PSTN)

Providing a modem is installed in the REU, it can be used to exchange data with any other RMC (remote
maintenance center) or PC. The protocol corresponds to the PC telegram types. The RMC has either a
master function or a slave function.
Master function: If the requirement for this function is specified in the configuration file, a connection to the
remote maintenance center is set up according to V.25bis conventions each time a stable status change
occurs in the complete system (stable for at least 5 minutes), in order to report the new status. If the
connection cannot be set up successfully (busy, etc.), up to six further attempts are made alternately using
switched circuits 1 and 2 (if the latter exists). A statistical delay of at least 1 minute and no more than 6
minutes is inserted between the dial attempts (random-function generator). The statistical delay is necessary
due to the fact that several REUs may want to send a status message to the remote maintenance center at
the same time. It prevents them from blocking each other. The connection is cleared down again after the
telegrams have been transmitted successfully.
Slave function: Either the status or maintenance data is transmitted when the remote maintenance center is
called, depending on the situation and on a correct login command being entered. The hardware of the REU
supplies a modem (dial modem 28.8/64K) via a USART (on SIB). The information then passes via the
telephone network (PSTN) to the remote maintenance center.
NOTE: Telegrams are exchanged in this way externally only with subscribers who can be dialed by the
REU (RCSE/LCSU). It is not planned to allow telegrams to be exchanged following an external call.
11.5.3 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.
11.5.4 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.
11.5.5 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.

11.5.6 Runway Information
11.5.6.1 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 (GS, LOC)) and NORMAL
(GS, LOC)

(DME, GS, LOC)) and (not (Shut-Down-TX1 and Shut-Down-TX2 (DME)) and (not
Switch-Control (DME, GS, LOC))
11.5.6.2 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 runway,
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.
11.5.6.3 Automatic Disable (Forced Shutdown)

The GS, LOC 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 rounded 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.

12. CHAPTER 5
MAINTENANCE
12.1 ORDINARY MAINTENANCE

There are no activities for ordinary maintenance.
12.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Preventive Maintenance is scheduled in daily, weekly, monthly or yearly measures which are necessary or
recommended. The following table contains these recommendations.
After initial setup Basic settings:

The basic settings for initial setup of each station are stored electronically in
files (*.MXN files). Load these ’Activities Masks’ for first alignment procedures
for AN 400 and SYSTEM 4000 stations (LOC, GS, FFM, VOR, DVOR), see
Technical Manual WIN ADRACS, code no. 83140 55323, chapter 3. For FACE
DME/TACAN refer to the appropriate FACE manual.
Dial numbers:
It is useful to generate a dial number directory. This is done with ’Edit
phonenumber File’ of the REU-OPERATIONS menu FILE TRANSFER. The
directory is created automatically in the file »site name\*.PTT» in the PC.
Daily No recommended activities.
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
DATE&TIME REU in the REU-OPERATIONS menu.
Yearly No recommended activities.
