2.2.5 Main Circuit Board
The Main Printed Circuit Board (Figure 4) is the central part of the design. It includes a
microcontroller core that implements main logic and provides calculating functions. A communication circuit provides the interface for the redundant communication network
(RCN), which is how ACE2 receives and transmits data to the ALCMS vault computer. It contains a fiber optic interface connection for the Current Voltage Monitor (CVM), optional
Insulation Resistance Monitoring System (IRMS), and an RS-232 local configuration interface. The watchdog jumper (J2) is used to select whether the watchdog timer is On or
Off. Connecting pins 1 and 2 enables the watchdog timer. Connecting pins 2 and 3 disables watchdog timer, and removing the jumper also disables watchdog timer. The normal setting for the watchdog timer is On. The watchdog timer should only be set by qualified ADB Airfield
Solutions personnel. The reset switch (SW1) is used during the design and test phase, and has no application for the user. The keypad switches and an LCD connector provides a
Graphic User Interface (GUI) for local control and monitoring for all controllable functions.
The display is connected to the main board by a ribbon cable. The two-position DIP switch
(SW2), is not currently used, but allows for future upgrades. The DIP switch must remain with both selectors in the On position for proper operation. The Power Supply circuitry provides all ACE2 equipment with a regulated and isolated power source.
The Power Supply circuitry can be turned On and Off via the main power switch in the lower

2.2.6 ACE2 Lamps-Out
Monitoring Board
The ACE2 lamps-out monitoring (LOM) board (Figure 5) consists of a processor
communicating over a fiber optic serial communications link, with up to three Current and
Voltage Modules (CVM). In addition to RMS voltage, RMS current, apparent power (VA), and true power (WATTS), the LOM Board also calculates the number of lamps burned out at each brightness level. The Lamps-out function can detect up to 16 burned out lamps.
If the CCR is controlling multiple circuits through circuit selectors, each of the circuits may have a CVM monitoring voltage, current, watts, VA, and the number of lamps out on the circuit.
The setting of the two-position DIP switch (SW1) depends on the number of circuits monitored and the number of Lamps-Out boards used. If the ACE2 contains only one Lamps-
Out board, the settings are:
— Switch 1 - Off
— Switch 2 - Off
If the ACE2 contains a second Lamps-Out board, the SW1 settings on the second board are:
— Switch 1 - Off
— Switch 2 - On
If the ACE2 contains a third Lamps-Out board, the SW1 settings on the third board are
— Switch 1 - Off
— Switch 2 - On
The third Lamps-Out board also has a 4-port jumper with a jumper on pins 1 and 2.

Introduction
2.2.7 Theory of Operation The Advanced Control Equipment (ACE2™) represents the heart of ADB Airfield Solutions’ airfield lighting distributed control system. Distributed control technology has many advantages over traditional central control, including but not limited to: cost effectiveness, system expandability, ease of maintenance, ease of installation, interchangeable parts, and ease of troubleshooting. In a distributed control scenario, each ACE2 unit is locally installed at or near a controllable item, CCR, Generator, ATS, etc. Each ACE2 talks with the airfield lighting control network and executes remote lighting commands. Multiple ACE2 units can be
daisy-chained together, making system expansion very easy (Figure 6).
Figure 6: Flow Diagram of Airfield Lighting Electrical Vault
12
The ACE2 is a universal device that controls any type of CCR and/or controlled element, regardless of manufacturer. The printed circuit boards are mounted inside a small, rugged environmental enclosure that is mounted on top of the CCR, wall-mounted, or directly attached to the door of a ADB Airfield Solutions L-828 CCR. The ACE2 consists of microprocessor-based module(s) that includes all of the communication, control commands, input/output interface, and failsafe functionality for the controlled element.
The ACE2 is ADB Airfield Solutions’ second generation distributed control/monitor system.
ACE2 network communications are compatible with ADB Airfield Solutions’ first generation system ACE. Thus ACE and ACE2 units can be connected on the same distributed network:
• Lighting commands are generated in the tower cab by air traffic controllers.
• Lighting commands are communicated over the main airfield lighting communications network to the electrical vault computer.
• The communications server broadcasts the lighting commands over the ACE2 Redundant
Communications Networks A and B.
• The ACE2 unit executes the command using the corresponding address to which the lighting command is directed.
• The command is internally confirmed by the ACE2 and a confirmation is sent back to the tower computer.
© ADB Airfield Solutions All Rights Reserved
2.2.8 Communication Each of the ACE2 units connected to a CCR or other controllable device has a unique factory set number and a field-programmable communication address. This address is used by the
ADB Airfield Solutions L-890 ALCMS to direct lighting commands to the corresponding
ACE2. The ACE2 executes the commands and returns the operational status of the element back to the ALCMS.
Each ACE2 is connected to redundant communication networks via two RS-422 serial communication ports on the main printed circuit board. The ACE network is comprised of a communications server and all the daisy-chained ACE2 and ACE units in the lighting vault.
Both the ACE and ACE2 devices can be connected to the same network. The communications server stays in constant communication with all the ACE and ACE2 units in both networks while staying in constant contact with the main ALCMS network. This communications protocol dictates the local ACE2 to store all data and parameters specific to the controlled element. This characteristic frees up the ALCMS computers from having to store the parameters for each of the controlled elements. The result of this is real-time communication among all of the ACE and ACE2 units and the rest of the ADB Airfield
Solutions L-890 ALCMS. If a network connection fails in one of the ACE or ACE2 units, communication is maintained.
Input/Output Interface
The ACE2 incorporates an input/output interface that supports full FAA L-827/L-829 CCR control monitoring capabilities. The plugable terminal blocks provide an easy-to-service point of connection. The ACE2 main printed circuit board contains seven latching relay outputs, one non-latching relay output, and eight optically-isolated input lines.
The latching output relays are configured to control CCR brightness steps or simple On/Off control as required by the controlled element. The input lines are configured to monitor any external event determined by a discrete dry-contact closure. Some examples include generator monitoring, monitoring of Automatic Transfer Switch position, and control of Circuit
Selector Switch loops. In addition, the ACE2 can be optionally expanded to perform CCR input voltage and current monitoring as well as airfield circuit cable Insulation Resistance
Monitoring.
Failsafe Functionality
Each ACE2 unit provides a self-contained failsafe feature. This feature insures default airfield lighting operation in the event of an L-890 ALCMS component failure or a complete
ALCMS failure. In addition, each ACE2 can monitor its output and verify the proper command is executed. The failsafe system also permits maintenance of portions of the control system without changing the operational status of the lighting system. The failsafe system is only used in the ALCMS modes, and must be set up by qualified ADB Airfield
Solutions personal.
The failsafe mode of each ACE2 unit is defined by requirements of the airport/owner. The failsafe modes are as follows:
1. L ATCHING F AILSAFE MODE :
— If the CCR is switched On before the failure, it remains On at the same brightness level
— If the CCR is switched Off before the failure, it remains Off.
2. S IMPLE F AILSAFE MODE :
— After a failure occurs, the CCR switches On to a pre-determined brightness level without regard to the current step.
3. S MART F AILSAFE MODE :
— If the CCR was switched On before the failure, it remains On at the same brightness level.
— If the CCR was switched Off before the failure, it switches On to a pre-determined brightness level.
Graphic User Interface
The ACE2 graphic user interface (GUI) consists of a128 x 64 pixel monochrome, LCD display and four momentary switch buttons. In typical modes of operation, the upper half of the LCD displays a monitored parameter. In stand-alone mode, it displays a configuration menu. The

NOTE: VA refers to the Volt-Amps in an airfield load and is measured by reading the RMS voltage, measuring the RMS current, and multiplying these two numbers together.
Watts corresponds to the amount of power actually consumed by an airfield load. These two numbers are only equal in the case of a purely resistive load. In systems with reactance
(capacitance or inductance), power from the source enters the reactive portions of the load, and returns to the source, un-used. This additional unused energy is the difference between the VA and Watts delivered to a system. The power factor of a load is the ratio of the power
(watts) used by a load, to the volts and amps (VA) that are delivered to the load. This is always less than or equal to 1.
It is important to remember that all electrical components in a power system are designed to deliver the necessary VA the system needs in order for it to consume the watts it needs.

Introduction
CCR sizes are actually designed to deliver a kVA value because it is impossible to account for the different power factors in airfield loads. If an airfield load has open-circuited transformers, signs, etc. it requires more VA to deliver the watts needed. For instance, if a 30kW CCR delivered 30kVA into a load with a power factor of 0.5 the resultant watts would be 15kW.

Most of the parameters are self explanatory. The “Meg Now” command initiates an immediate insulation resistance measurement regardless of the schedule. The “Meg Timer Reset” restarts the megging schedule. The next megging shall occur at the end of the “Meg Period” and periodically after that.

In order for the ACE2 to correctly calculate the number of lamps burned-out it has to be calibrated.
For best accuracy, the lamps-out calibration is done only when CCRs are loaded to 75% or more of their specified rating. For best accuracy, all lamps on the lamp circuit being calibrated have the same wattage rating, otherwise the lamps-out detection is not as accurate on lamp wattages not used in the calibration process. Some devices on a series circuit such as but not limited to power adapters, L-858 sign electronics, and L-858 sign fluorescent lamps cause inaccurate lamp-out detection.
In all modes of operation, the calibration is performed in this order;
1. The number of initially present lamps-out is entered in the ACE2
2. The ACE2 steps through all brightness steps and takes measurements.
3. One Lamp is removed from the circuit.
4. The ACE2 steps through all brightness steps again and takes measurements.
5. At this time, it records the Current and Voltage values for each step. If the regulator’s VA drops to 90% of the recorded value for that step, LOW VA is displayed.
6. Calibration results are confirmed by the operator and stored in the ACE2’s non-volatile memory.
In the stand-alone mode of operation, the lamps-out calibration is performed using the LO
Calibration local menu command. In the L-829 mode, the ACE2 controls the CCR through the brightness steps. For an L-827 application, the operator manually changes steps using the
CCR local controls of brightness setting lines.
When connected to an ADB Airfield Solutions L-890 ALCMS the lamps-out calibration is performed using the vault computer.

NOTE: A . Terminal block J4 accepts any discrete contact closure that uses 24 to 250V AC/DC control voltage.
Examples of useful inputs are: CCR Over Current, CCR Over Voltage, CCR Primary Power, CCR Remote Local,
CCR Open Circuit, CCR Access Door open, etc.
NOTE: B. Terminal block J5 carries system latching relay outputs that are used to control brightness steps of a
CCR. These outputs can also be configured to control any element that requires an ON/OFF contact closure. The output current is 1A max so 20 AWG wire or larger is suggested. In addition, these terminal blocks can be configured to control both CCR brightness steps and a L-847 Circuit Selector Switch.
