Introduction
2.2 Introduction This section describes the L-827/ L-829 Advanced Control Equipment (ACE2TM).
NOTE: ACE and ACE2 are trademarks of ADB Airfield Solutions.
The ACE2 operates either as the remote interface between the L-890 ALCMS and any
controlled element in the airfield lighting vault or as the stand-alone regulator/monitor
performing all L-827/L-829 functions in accordance with FAA AC 150 /5345-10F. The ACE2
is a universal device that can be used to control any type of CCR and/or controlled element
regardless of the manufacturer.
L-827/L-829 ACE2
The ACE2 can be physically packaged as a Combo Box-Mount (Figure 3), a Wall-Mount
(Figure 1), or a CCR Internal-Mount (Figure 2). The Combo Box Assembly is a wall-mount
version, which houses the ACE2 controller board, the IRMS board, and the CVM. The
Remote-Mount is typically placed on top of the CCR. The Wall-Mount is usually bolted to a
wall or can be mounted on the front of a CCR. The internal-mount is mounted inside a ADB
Airfield Solutions L-828 CCR. This combination is called an L-829 CCR. Specifications for
ACE2:

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
right corner of Figure 4.

ACE2 Power Supply Circuit

The ACE2 Power Supply circuitry is integrated into the Main Circuit Board (shown in Figure 5). It
provides the internal system with a regulated and isolated power source.
ACE2 Input/Output
The Discrete Input/Output circuitry provides an interface for all control and monitoring
connections. It contains seven latching relay outputs and, one proper operation, mono-stable
relay output normally used for the Fault Alarm indication. The I/O circuit contains eight
Optically-isolated input lines.

2.2.6 ACE2 Lamps-Out The ACE2 lamps-out monitoring (LOM) board (Figure 5) consists of a processor
Monitoring Board 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
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.

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. LATCHING FAILSAFE 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. SIMPLE FAILSAFE MODE:
— After a failure occurs, the CCR switches On to a pre-determined brightness level
without regard to the current step.
3. SMART FAILSAFE 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

first string of the LCD lower half is reserved for warnings and alarms in reverse color. Reverse
color means the background is white and the text is blue. The second string of LCDs is split
to indicate these fields and displays:
1. Brightness step. Reverse color means protective shutdown, blank – Off.
2. Remote (“Rmt”) / Local (“Lcl” reverse color).
3. Primary power present (“PP”) / loss of power (“LoP” reverse color).
4. RS422 channel A message received (‘A’).
5. RS422 channel B message received (‘B’).
6. IRMS response received (small ‘Ω’), megging has been reported (large ‘Ω’).

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.

96A0357 Rev. F
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.
Figure 8: ACE2 Stand-Alone Configuration Flowchart
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.

2.2.10 Stand-Alone Figure 9 shows the Monitoring Legend and the Pushbutton Functions.
Pushbutton Description
Figure 9: ACE2 Legend and Button Enlargement
NOTE: The buttons and the monitoring legend are the same for all ACE2 units.
Refer to Figure 10. The pushbuttons are described left to right as 1 through 4, and their
functions are as follows:
Push button 1, Output Monitoring, provides selection of the LCD top string from the following
list of the monitored parameters:
— “Amps”: Output CCR current (A).
— “Volts”: Output CCR voltage (V).
— “VA”: Output CCR VA (VA).
— “Watts”: Output CCR watts (W).
— “LO”: Number of lamps out on the lamp circuit (optional).
— “Ohms”: The last insulation resistance reading for the lamp circuit (Ω) (optional).
— “Cycle”: Above list cycled.
Pushbutton 2, Auxiliary Monitor (optional), if the function is enabled, provides access to the
CCR input power parameters:
— Input Current “iAmps” (A).
— Input Voltage “iVolts” (V).
— Input Power “iWatts” (W).
— Input Power Factor “iPwrFtr” decimal fraction.
— CCR Efficiency “Effcncy”(%).
A second CVM is connected to the input of the CCR to measure these parameters. If these
functions are enabled, the display shows the following hour-meter parameters:
— Total time the CCR has been ON xHT.
— Time the CCR has been on Step B1 xH1.
— Time the CCR has been on Step B2 xH2.
— Time the CCR has been on Step 3 xH3.

— Total number of the CCR OFF-ON switching cycles xC.
NOTE: Small x = time in hours.
Pushbutton 3, Select/Config, becomes active and is used only in a stand-alone L-827 or
L-829 mode of operation, described above in Pushbutton 2.
Pushbutton 4, Software Version, initiates the automatic sequence displaying the following
system parameters:
— Main Control Board Firmware Version.
— Lamps-Out Monitor Firmware Version.
— IRMS Firmware Version.
— RS422 channel A network address.
— RS422 channel A baud rate.
— RS422 channel B network address
— RS422 channel B baud rate.
Appearance of question marks instead of the firmware version number means the firmware is
not loaded for that function.

2.2.11 I/O Status display Pressing and holding pushbutton 4 during the Software Version sequence displays the status
of the Input/Output Interface. In this mode, read all the input and output lines. The format
appears like this:
Out 87654321 or Out ________

Inp 87654321 Inp ________
Or a combination of the two.

Each number is linked to a different pair of pins on the input or on the output connector. If the
number is displayed, the corresponding pair of input pins has voltage on them and the
corresponding relay is closed.
NOTE: Out ?????? means there is nothing written to the outputs since power-up and the
latching relay status is unknown.
The input and output display has numbers 1 though 8 and correspond to the pins as shown in

2.2.11.1 Lamps-Out Calibration In order for the ACE2 to correctly calculate the number of lamps burned-out it has to be
for Stand-Alone Mode 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.
