4 Installation Before beginning installation:
Determine where to place the PLC cabinet and touchscreen computer.
Verify the cable run between the PLC cabinet and the computer, is within 9 feet (3 m) or construct an extension cable that meets the requirements set forth in the print package. For a standard PLC cable
extension, please refer to drawing 43A3160/02 for pin-out details.
If the communication medium between the computer and the PLC cabinet is longer than 9ft. a communication extension option may be purchased. These options include hardwire communication
equipment with lightning protection, multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic communication media
converters, or 2.4 GHz serial radios. Refer to the print package for equipment details.
Ensure there is access for power and control wiring.
4.1 Mounting the Touchscreen Touchscreens are available in either flush-mount or desktop stand-alone units. The standard version of the
NAVIGATOR comes with a 12 touchscreen computer that can be both flush mounted or mounted to a desktop stand.
4.1.1 Flush Mount Touchscreen
Determine where to mount the flush mount touchscreen in the ATCT. Make sure that there is ample space available around and below the mounting area. Please see the NAVIGATOR system prints for
dimensions. The 12 panel cutout dimensions can be found on drawing 105A0863. The optional 15 panel can be found on drawing 105A0870
Cutout the console area to fit. Place the touchscreen down in the console making sure that the bezel catches on the outside of the cutout for a flush fit.
The power cord will be attached underneath the screen when it is mounted and should be plugged into critical power in the ATCT.
Refer to 43A3162/01 and /02 for specific touchscreen computer port connections. These will vary depending on the options purchased so please take care in making these connections.
4.1.2 Desktop Stand-alone Touchscreen
Determine where the Stand-alone touchscreen is to be set up in the ATCT. Make sure there is a flat surface for the touchscreen to be set on to ensure stability.
The power cord will be attached to the back of the monitor and must be plugged into critical power in the ATCT.
Refer to 43A3162/01 and /02 for specific touchscreen computer port connections. These will vary depending on the options purchased so please take care in making these connections.
4.2 Mounting the Equipment The PLC cabinet must be installed indoors, protected from excessive heat, cold and dampness. The cabinet must be
secured to a structure that will support its weight (137lb. / 62kg). See cabinet specifications for details.
Provide adequate clearance around the cabinet for connecting control and power cables. Enough clearance must be
left in front of the cabinet to open the door safely for service.
See Drawing 44A6580/01 for dimensions, mounting details, and suggested mounting height.

4.3 Wiring Considerations The NAVIGATOR cabinet is wired at the factory and ready for power and monitoring connection by the
installing contractor. The cabinet requires these wiring connections:
The computer must be linked to the cabinet with the supplied cable, extension cable, or communications package option.
Constant Current Regulators and other airfield devices must be connected to the control and monitoring terminal blocks.
External power must be supplied. A dedicated 15A circuit breaker is recommended for providing power to the PLC cabinet or UPS depending on the power option purchased.
The installer must make conduit penetrations for cable entrances; the PLC cabinet has no knockouts. The cabinet
penetrations should be made at the bottom of the enclosure to avoid interference with any of the electrical
components located within the enclosure itself. If a communications extension cable is being used it is important to
bring that cable into the PLC enclosure via a separate conduit penetration to minimize possible interference
problems.
The following sections provide general guidelines only. For all wiring, refer to Installation Drawings (see Associated
Drawings and Documents on page IV).

4.4 Connect the Computer The NAVIGATOR comes with a 9-foot (3 m) serial cable for connection to the computer. If the cabinet and the
computer will be more than 9 ft. (3 m) apart, obtain or construct an extender. See Drawing 43A3160/02 for details.
In the standard system that does not include any communication extension equipment, simply connect the PLC programming cable to the COM1 port on the back of the touchscreen computer as shown in Figure 3.
Connect the other end to the PLC3 serial connector in the NAVIGATOR cabinet, as shown in Figure 2 This serial connector is pre-wired to the other PLC racks in the cabinet.
For connection using communication extension equipment, please refer to the print package for connection details.
Connect the power cord to the ATC critical power supply. Input Power to the computer should be 110 V AC (60 Hz) or 220 V AC (50 Hz).

4.5 Wiring From CCRs
IMPORTANT:
All power and control wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician. All power MUST be
disconnected and tagged out before beginning to make any wiring connections to the PLC cabinet and
CCRs. For all wiring, refer to Associated Drawings and Documents).
4.5.1 Wiring from Controllable Element Monitoring Points (TB3 and TB4)
Alarm condition source voltage is supplied to each controllable element (Such as a CCR) from TB4 (labelled EXTERNAL DEVICE 24 VDC SOURCE). Each TB on TB4 is fused so that the cabinet power supply is protected from an outside fault. The PLC input modules are designed and pre-wired to actuate upon return of this alarm condition voltage. Hence it is required that the source voltage be isolated from the controllable element power supply by an appropriate isolated contact such as relay contacts or current sensing device contacts. If a relay is used, the coil of the relay is wired to the controllable element to provide a contact closure of the source voltage back to the PLC. CCR Current sensing/monitoring relay kits can be separately ordered from Siemens Airfield Solutions.
TB1 (labeled CCR & MISC. MONITORING FEEDBACK) has 54 inputsthree for each controllable elementfor monitoring feedback.
Figure 4: Terminal Block locations
The example at right shows numbering for controllable
elements 1 and 2.
One wire from each may be connected to TB3 to monitor
these points on the CCR along with each corresponding
common:
Primary Power (PP)
Remote/Local (RL) Table 3: Monitoring Connections
Commanded ON (CO)
Note that any, all, or none of these inputs may be used. The conditions that will be used are configured in the primary Wizard configuration.
See Drawings 43A3161/05 and 43A3161/11 for monitoring point connections.
TB3 (labeled Remote Control IO) holds the connections for an L-854 Pilot Control Radio. Depending on the type of
radio that is being connected to the NAVIGATOR, an array of contact closure relays needs to be added for the
system to read these inputs correctly. If the PCR is a contact closure radio, the relay can be sourced from the power
block to the right of the radio control inputs. If the PCR does not contain dry contact closures, The relays mentioned
previously will need to be used.

4.5.2 Wiring for Controllable Element Points
TB2 (labelled CONTROL) has 18 sets
of terminal blocks; one set for each
controllable element. The example at
right shows Terminal Block numbering
for controllable CCR elements 1 and 2.
The first two connections in each group are dedicated to setting the
preset fail-safe step for the CCR.
T
a
ble 4: CCR Connections and CCR Control Wiring (TB2)
Connect the jumper labeled PRESET from the second connection to the desired failsafe step (pre-wired at factory). For example, to set CCR #1 to Step 4 in fail-safe mode, place the jumper at Connection 7 (Step 4 B4).
The third connection is for CCI (controllable element control voltage).
The fourth through ninth connections correspond to the brightness steps for the CCR. Each step requires a separate wire to the CCRas shown in Table 4.
Note that for SAS CCRs, B1 is not required. SAS CCRs automatically turn on to the lowest step when CCI is connected to CC. Please refer to the regulator (CCR) manual to see if your CCR requires B1/B10 contact to be
energized for CCR remote control.
Refer to Drawings 43A3161/05 and 43A3161/11 for complete external wiring details. In addition, please see
Drawings 43A3161/07 and 43A3161/13 for example fail-safe wiring connections.
4.5.3 Watchdog Wiring
The watchdog is wired from the factory and does not need any field connections in order to function. The 3 -position
switch on the front of the PLC assembly is used to control failsafe and watchdog functions. The positions are
defined as follows.
TOWER The system functions as designed where the output of the watchdog timer keeps the failsafe relays energized so that the controllable elements are controlled by the PLC.
BY-PASS The watchdog timer is bypassed and 24VDC is applied to the failsafe relays keeping them energized so that the controllable elements are controlled by the PLC.
FAILSAFE The control power to the watchdog is removed thereby removing the 24VDC from the failsafe relays. This action results in the failsafe relay coils de-energizing and control of the CCRs reverts
to the preset failsafe connection.
4.5.4 Power Wiring (TB1)
The PLC cabinet requires 120V input power. Power wiring is connected to TB1 as shown in Drawing 43A3161/05.
Use only 14AWG NEC approved 600-volt wire.

5 Primary Configuration The NAVIGATOR system has two configuration routes that are called wizards, the first of which is called the Primary Configuration wizard (Detailed in Section 5). It allows the user to configure all of the controllable elements
and default control and monitoring behavior as well as the default touchscreen HMI. This wizard will start
automatically when the computer is turned on if a configuration has not been done yet. This is the starting point for
the configuration. Once the user completes the primary configuration, a file named wizard.cfg is created and it is in
this file that all configuration information is stored. The primary configuration wizard only starts if it cannot find the
wizard.cfg file in the C:\ALCSJ\CFG directory. Once the file is there and the user starts the NAVIGATOR Wizard the advanced configuration wizard starts. It is here in the advanced wizard that detailed customization can take place.
During the configuration of the system, please be sure that the provided keyboard and mouse are connected, as they
will be necessary. Once configured and tested, the keyboard and mouse may be removed for operations (which is
done via the touch screen). Subsequently, the keyboard and mouse may be re -connected without powering down the
computer.

5.15 System Passwords Some operations of this ALCS System require a password before carrying out a command (such as exiting
applications and controlling CCRs from the Vault application). The password for these operations is "sba"
(without the quotes, case sensitive).
Figure 35: Example Password Screen
Another instance of a special password is if you want to login as an administrator.
By default, the system is designed to automatically login as a special user named
"username" using the password "password" (without the quotes, case sensitive).
This way, if it ever automatically re-boots on its own (due to a power failure), it will automatically bring the
system back up the way it was before, without any human intervention.

5.16 Exiting Programs The Touchscreen application must be running for operators to control the configured items. At times, however, you
will need to exit the program to perform setup, computer maintenance and other tasks. You may also do this when
the airport is closed.
To exit the program:
Touch the Exit to Main Menu button.
Figure 36: Exit Program View
A confirmation message appears. Click Yes to close the application (or No to cancel).
Three programs running in the background must be closed to shut down the NAVIGATOR software:
CSE
Vault
PLCMgr
Each of these programs has a dialog box with an Exit button, as shown at right. Each program must be closed separately.
To close each of these three programs:
Click on the associated Exit button. This opens the Please Enter Password window.
Enter your password and click OK.
The Touchscreen application closes and the display returns to the Windows desktop.
Lights will go to a hardware failsafe, unless the PLC panel switch is set to bypass failsafe.

6 Customizing Your Configuration After configuring the NAVIGATOR as described in Section 5, you may decide to make additional changes.
Changes may be made in either of two ways, depending on whether you want to make changes or start over:
Change your existing configuration - Start the Wizard from the Windows desktop and change your configuration as described in this section.
Start over with a new configuration - Delete or rename your configuration file (wizard.cfg); renaming the configuration file allows you to revert to the previous configuration if needed. Then start the Wizard and
create a new configuration (refer to Section 5).
This section also describes how to use the Advanced Configuration Wizard to change your existing configuration. In
addition to the setup options described in the Primary Configuration Wizard (Section 5), other features you may
change include:
Choose different colors for button display
Establish preset values for pertinent circuits or change existing presets
Add a static background picture (for example, runway layout)
Change the location of buttons on the touchscreen
Delete Utility or Generator Indicators
6.1 Start the Wizard Prior to making any customizations to the existing configuration of the Siemens NAVIGATOR configuration, make sure that the keyboard and mouse are connected to the touchscreen computer. If these are not connected, it will not be possible to either start the wizard or make any changes to the configuration.
To open the Wizard and make changes, the file called wizard.cfg must be in the folder named cfg in the program
directory (C:\ALCSJ). This path should be the default path from the initial system setup.
Start the Wizard:
Click on the Start button, then on Start_Wizard, as shown in Figure 37.

6.1.1 Overview of the Wizard
The Wizard opens with a menu tree at left and a viewing pane at right, as shown below. Please note that the wizard
view in this step will be different from the initial system setup wizard. This version of the wizard will allow for
detailed system modifications once the initial setup and configured.

6.2 File Menu The File menu has the following options:
6.2.1 About This Wizard
To view the program version, click on the File menu, then on About This Wizard. The viewing pane displays the program
version in a graphic, as shown at right.
To close this view, click anywhere on the graphic.
6.2.2 Save Configuration
After making changes to the configuration, you must save the changes by clicking on the File menu, then on Save Configuration.
This step saves all changes in the wizard.cfg file in the cfg folder. If you do not save your changes, they will be lost. To cancel your changes, exit the Wizard without saving the configuration.
6.2.3 Start TouchScreen Application
To run a simulation of the Touchscreen application for testing, click on the File menu, then on Start TouchScreen Application.
The Touchscreen application fills the screen, as shown at right. All buttons appear and function as they will when the application is fully
operating.
In this simulation mode, you may touch buttons without activating any controls. The background programs that control the CCRs and
other configured items are NOT running.
To close the simulation, click on the Exit to Main Menu button. A confirmation message asks whether you want to exit. Click Yes to
return to the Wizard. Clicking No to cancel will keep you in the simulation mode.
6.2.4 Generate ALCS Files
Changes to the configuration do NOT automatically update the Touchscreen application. You must update the files that run the program by clicking on the File menu, then on Generate ALCS Files.
This will place the appropriate files in the ALCSJ folder.
This step is essential to update the Touchscreen application with your latest changes. The generated files are required to run the application.
6.2.5 Exit
To close the Wizard program, click on the File menu, then on Exit.
If you have made changes but not saved them, a confirmation message appears asking whether you wish to save your changes. Click Yes to save your changes, No to exit the program without saving or click Cancel
to return to the Wizard and continue making changes.
