Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling an airport navigation lights system, comprising (a) a power source for producing an AC current, the AC current having a period; (b) a plurality of lamp units that are powered by the power source via a cable and comprise a receiver and at least one aeronautical ground light; and (c) a control unit that is connected to the cable and arranged for sending messages to the lamp units and receiving messages from the lamp units via the cable.
  • the invention relates to such an airport navigation lights system.
  • Airport navigation lights systems are used for lighting traffic ways of an airport, e.g. its runway or taxiways.
  • the lamps of the airport navigation light system which may also be called aeronautical ground lights, must be checked regularly in order to make sure they function properly. Furthermore, it is an advantage to be able to communicate with each of those lights so that they may be used as signals for pilots.
  • Some airport navigation light systems use unshielded cables for powering the lamp units that each control at least one aeronautical ground light. These existing systems can be upgraded for communication with the lamp units. However, the number of aeronautical ground lights that can be addressed individually by these systems is rather limited.
  • the invention aims at improving an airport navigation lights systems, in particular existing airport navigation lights systems.
  • the method comprises the following steps: (i) determining a noise level for a plurality of time slots along the period of the AC current; (ii) determining low-noise time slots during which the noise level is below a. e.g. pre-determined, noise threshold; (iii) sending a low-information message encoding the timing of at least some of the low-noise time slots, in particular all time slots, relative to the period via the cable; and (iv) sending high-information messages encoding control commands during these low-noise time slots.
  • the invention solves the problem by an airport navigation lights system according as described above, wherein the control unit is set up to automatically perform the steps (i) to (iv).
  • the error rate is low. As only low-noise time slots are used, frequency multiplexing is possible, and errors in the data transmission are unlikely.
  • repeaters are usually not needed.
  • the maximum frequency can be chosen to be lower than e. g. 30 kilohertz.
  • the inventors have found that the attenuation of signals at higher frequency is particularly high. As lower frequency can be used, the attenuation is reasonably low so that repeaters are usually not necessary.
  • the invention is applicable to almost all existing airport navigation lights systems.
  • the communication electronics can, according to a preferred embodiment, be switched off or be set up for automatically switching off during high-noise time slots. Consequently, they are not affected by possible voltage peaks.
  • the noise level is in particular intended to mean the amount of current and/or voltage fluctuations that are not intended.
  • the noise threshold is in particular intended to mean a fixed value that has been chosen such that noise below that threshold does not interfere with the data transmission.
  • the noise threshold may be pre-determined.
  • the noise threshold may be stored in e.g. a digital storage before the noise levels are being determined. This noise threshold is chosen as high as possible, but low enough to ensure reliable communication.
  • the noise threshold may be implicit.
  • the method comprises the steps of (a) determining the number N a of time slots that are needed in order to be able to obtain status information from the aeronautical ground lights within a preset time interval of e.g. 2 seconds or 5 seconds and (b) choosing the first with the lowest noise level.
  • the noise threshold is above the noise level of the N a -th time slots with the lowest noise level and the time slot with the (N a +1) lowest noise level.
  • the phrase "along the period" is intended to mean a position relative to the repeating pattern of the AC current.
  • the phrase “along the period” the phrase “along the waveform of the AC current” or “relative to the waveform of the AC current” could be used.
  • the AC current is a periodic function of the time t.
  • the phrase “along the period” refers to the time modulo 2 ⁇ .
  • Each lamp unit is connected to at least one aeronautical ground light. It is possible, but not necessary, that the number of aeronautical ground lights a lamp unit is connected with is constant for all lamp units.
  • the low-information message encodes less than two bits per half period, e. g. one bit per half period.
  • Such a low data rate makes the data transmission very robust and little error-prone.
  • the high-information message contains at least 12 bits per half-period, for example 17, 18 or 19 bit per half-period.
  • the widths of the time slot is preferably at least 300 microseconds and/or at most 600 microseconds. There may be at least 20 time slots, in particular at least 30 time slots, per period. Preferably, there are less than 60 time slots, in particular less than 50 time slots, per period.
  • the number of bits per active low-noise time slot is preferably at least one, but several frequency channels are possible and advantageous. In particular, more than two, three or four frequency channels can be used. It has turned out that more than 9 frequency channels are possible, but usually not required.
  • the cable in unshielded Preferably, the cable in unshielded.
  • the invention could of course be used for shielded cables as well. However, it is an advantage that it can be used with unshielded cables as well.
  • Step (iii) may comprise sending a low-noise time slot mask.
  • This is a sequence of consecutive bits, wherein each bit encodes whether or not a time slot is low-noise and active or not. It is possible to encode the time slots of the low-noise time slots in a different way, but this is a very efficient way of doing it.
  • encoding the low-noise time slots can also be achieved by encoding the inactive or high-noise time slots, e.g. those time slots that are either low-noise, but unused or not low-noise. In this case, the communication takes place only in those time slots that are not marked as inactive or high-noise.
  • the low-noise time slots that are used for sending high-information messages are called active time slots. It is possible, but not necessary, that all low-noise time slots are active time slots. If not all low-noise time slots are necessary for the communication with the lamp units, it is advantageous that the least noisy time slots are used as active time slots.
  • the bit values for each time slot and for each frequency channel are frequency-encoded or phase-encoded. If the bit values are frequency encoded, the bit value 0 is represented by a first frequency and the bit value 1 is represented by a second frequency distinct from the first frequency. If the bit values are phase-encoded, the bit value 0 is represented by a first phase of the frequency and the bit value 1 is represented by a second phase relative to the first phase of the frequency. In particular, the second phase is 180°.
  • the first channel may be used encode time-critical information, e.g. whether or not a lamp unit is operational, inactive or defect.
  • the second channel may be used to encode non time-critical information, e.g. electrical parameters of the lamp units such as voltage or current.
  • the first channel uses a frequency that has a lower attenuation and/or noise level than the other channels.
  • the frequencies are preferably sampled in the middle of each time slot e.g. by the control unit and/or the lamp units.
  • the phrase "in the middle of a time slot” is in particular intended to mean a time interval around the center of the time slot, wherein this interval has interval length that does not exceed a tenth of the widths of the time slot.
  • the frequencies do not exceed 30 kilohertz.
  • higher frequencies can lead to a significant amount of attenuation, thus requiring repeaters.
  • each time slot at least four, in particular at least six, frequency channels are used. It has turned out that for most airport navigation light systems at least up to ten frequency channels are possible, which leads to a high data rate.
  • the high information messages encode switching information for selectively switching at least one lamp unit on or off.
  • the switching information may contain a point of time at which the respective lamp unit has to switch on or off. This point of time may refer to an internal time or system time that is distributed by the control unit, e.g. via a reference point setting signal as discussed below.
  • the steps (i) to (iv) are preferably carried out automatically by the control unit.
  • at least a majority of the lamp units automatically carries out a method comprising the following steps: (i) receiving the low-information message encoding the timing of the low-noise time slots and (ii) sending at least one status message in at least one low-noise time slot.
  • the lamp units usually receive and send these kinds of messages regularly.
  • the steps (i) to (iv) may be carried out after a start of the airport navigation lights system. These steps may also be carried out after pre-determined time intervals, e.g. once a day.
  • the steps (i) and (ii) of claim 1 are carried out repeatedly after preset time interval and if the noise level in one low-noise time slots exceeds the noise threshold and this low-noise time slot is an active low-noise time slot used for sending high-information messages, a new low-information message encoding the timing of at least some of the low-noise time slots relative to the period is sent. If the noise level in one of the high-noise time slots falls below the noise threshold and an active low-noise time slot has a higher-noise level than this (formerly high-noise) time slot, a new low-information message encoding the timing of at least some of the low-noise time slots relative to the period may be sent. In other words, the active low-noise time slots will be changed, if necessary and/or advantageous.
  • the AC current's waveform may be a phase-cut sine wave or sine wave, i.e. a complete sine wave, and has a least one current edge, in particular precisely two current edges, per period, wherein the timing of the time slots is determined relative to the current edge.
  • This timing of the time slots is carried out by the lamp units and/or the control unit.
  • the current edge may be a point of time along the period of the AC current that can be detected with the highest accuracy.
  • a timing miss match between the control unit and lamp units or between two lamp units is small. As a consequence, relatively small time slots can be used.
  • the current edges are the steep incline when the phase cut ends and the steep decline when the phase cut starts. If the AC current's waveform is a sine wave, the current edges occur when the first derivative with respect to time has its maximum or its minimum.
