2.2.3 RELIANCE Intelligent Lighting Platform II Technology
•
Communicates using a radio frequency signal imposed on the high- voltage airfield series circuit cable - no separate
communication cable needed.
•
Communication quality is automatically optimized for each series circuit in a permanent background process.
•
New communication principle together with forward error correction drastically reduces signal disturbance caused by
impulse and narrow band interferences.
•
Main system elements: RELIANCE IL Master (in the substation), RELIANCE IL Remotes (for individual control and
monitoring of lights in the field). In addition, RELIANCE IL Utility Remote for communication with and energy supply for
local field sensors.
2.2.4 Terms
General Aviation Terms and Acronyms that you may encounter using our manuals.
Table 1: Terms
Term Definition
ALCMS
Acronym for Airfield Lighting Control Monitoring System. An ALCMS incorporates many
components that are used to control and monitor an airport’s entire airfield lighting system.
The ALCMS may include Touch Screens for lighting control, Maintenance Center(s) for data
viewing and archiving, Electrical Lighting equipment for CCR control and monitoring.
CCR
Abbreviation for Constant Current Regulator. The CCRs are located within the Airfield
Lighting Vault (ALV). They produce a constant current output to the airfield series circuit that
light the airfield lighting fixtures.
RELIANCE
™
IL Remote, Master, PC
ADB SAFEGATE’s trademarked abbreviation that describes the future proofing technology
used to transmit and receive data across airfield lighting series circuit cabling.
Remote
Unit installed in the airfield (normally in pull-pits or base cans) which provides control and
monitoring of individual or blocks of light fixtures. Each Remote has its own unique address
for control and monitoring data communication to the Master.
Master
Unit installed within the lighting vault that provides the means for data communication on
the airfield series circuit cables. The Master is connected in parallel (across) to the output of
the CCR. Each series circuit that contains Remotes must also have a Master installed at the
CCR.
Control Panel
This term is used to reference the device used to control and monitor the controllable
stopbars and the associated lighting equipment. The control panel could be either an L-821
style pushbutton panel or a Touchscreen style control panel. The control panel is located in
the Air Traffic Control Tower cab.
SMGCS
Acronym which means Surface Movement Guidance and Control System. SMGCS is an
organized system created to improve and enhance low visibility operations.
