Intelligent Single Lamp Control and Monitoring System

Built on the I-ALCMS architecture, this single-lamp control and monitoring system reads the state and faults of every fixture individually and switches each one on its own, serving as a stop bar, runway clearance light or follow-the-green taxi guidance system. Field communication rides power line carrier over the existing lighting circuit, so no extra cabling is laid, and it works with regulators and isolating transformers of any brand. The carrier is frequency-divided across 11 bands, keeping response quick and interference out.

Application/Use

Features

• The system adopts the same architectural design as I-ALCMS.
• By adopting a high-speed Ethernet architecture, the system can achieve high-density concurrent transmission of single-lamp commands, improving the real-time performance by tens of times compared to traditional field bus methods.
• The system employs advanced Power Line Carrier (PLC) technology for vault and field communications, eliminating the need for additional communication cabling while being compatible with constant current regulators and isolation transformers of various brands and technologies.
• PLC communication adopts a frequency-division design, supporting concurrent transmission over 11 frequency bands with both real-time performance and strong anti-interference capability.
• The core component-the Single-Lamp Concentrator (SLC)features redundant RJ 45 communication ports and can be integrated into the system via high-speed Ethernet.
• The core component-the Single-Lamp Device (SLD), can integrate with third-party sensing devices such as microwave sensors to obtain real-time aircraft position and dynamic data, providing decision support and operational recommendations for ATC and lighting operation.
• The core component-the Carrier Filter (CF), can be built into the SLC or connected independently into the circuit, effectively suppressing high-order harmonics and other interference to ensure stable system operation in complex electromagnetic environments.
• Real-time collection and analysis of operational status and fault information of on-site lamps reduces maintenance response time and costs while improving the operational reliability of airport lighting.
• The system can be deployed as a runway clearance light system or stop-bar light system to meet mainstream runway incursion prevention requirements and enhance ground operational safety in airside.
• Providing“follow the green”function as a key functional module for building the Advanced-Surface Movement Guidance and Control System(A-SMGCS), supporting visualized taxi route scheduling and intelligent lighting control.
• The system can be integrated with CCR-I and runway status lights as a RWSL Field Lighting system (FLS).
• Supporting rapid upgrades and evolutio to meet emerging requirements of future smart airport development.
