1.1.2. Local Control Operation

[Link]. Glossary

Changeover: The transition from a normal ILS «on» state (Tx to Air = main select
and active main transmitters on air) to a normal ILS «standby on» state (Tx to Air
not equal to main select, and standby transmitters active on air).

Shutdown: The transition from any ILS state to a normal ILS «off» state (Tx to Air
= main select and no active transmitters).

Automatic: When the ILS is in automatic mode of operation, any detected

alarm(s) will lead to either CHANGEOVER or SHUTDOWN.

Manual: When the ILS is in manual mode of operation, the ILS state will not
change if alarm(s) are detected.

Interlock: When an ILS is in active interlock mode (the interlock signal is an

input to the remote control), the ILS will turn off all active transmitters and not
allow them to be turned on before the interlock condition is removed. This signal
overrides local/auto mode of operation, but not local/manual mode of operation.

2.0 Overview of the NORMARC 70XXB3 RMM

This information has been updated for version 3.2 of the software.
The NORMARC 70XXB3 RMM is a Microsoft Windows based program that
provides access to all the data and functions made available by the ILS remote
monitoring subsystem.
By connecting to the ILS remote monitoring subsystem, the program lets the
user do the following:
 View the current status and measurements done by the ILS.
 Configure ILS monitor and transmitter settings.
 View reports that shows the current operational status and configuration
of an ILS.
 Download historical data from the ILS and browse through individual data
sets.
 Download and view events to see the operational history of the ILS.
 Connect to the ILS with a null modem cable (direct), dial-up
connection or leased line connection.

The figure on the next page shows a screen dump of the main program
window.

2.1. Installing the software

To install the software, just insert the CDROM and wait until the NORMARC
70XXB3 RMM welcome file is displayed. Read the instructions in this file to install
the software.

2.1.1. Installation notes

The database is by default stored in this folder (CommonAppDataFolder):
C:\ProgramData\Indra Navia\NORMARC 7000 RMM 3.x
Enter %programdata%\Indra Navia in the Start menu search field to open
the parent of the above folder.

It is not possible to use configuration files and database file from versions
prior to 3.0 with this version. In case there is a need to use older configuration files
and databases, it is possible to install versions 1.2 and 2.x on the same computer
which is running version 3.x.
When opening the database, the program will first try to open a ODBC
system DSN with name NM7000RMM, if that fails then it will try to open
[Link] stored in the SupportFilesDir defined in the registry (see
below) or in the installation folder of the program, if that also fails it will try in the
CommonAppDataFolder as defined above.

2.1.2. Driver for the USB port on the RMA 1822

The driver for this port is located in the USB-RMA1822A folder under the
installation folder of the RMM software.

Windows may ask for an USB driver when first connecting to the USB port of
a RMA board. Select this folder as the driver folder to install it.
2.1.3. Drive for the USB UART IC on CI 1748
In order to use the USB port on the CI 1748 connection interface board a
driver needs to be installed on the PC. The driver is located in the USB-CI1748A
folder under the installation folder of the RMM software. In case Windows asks for
a driver, select this folder to install it.

2.2. Data security

Connection of the RMM computer to external equipment or networks

including the Internet: Connection of external equipment or networks should be
avoided; it must be ensured that no garbage traffic or unauthorized software
enters the system.

2.3. Initial Configuration of RMM

2.3.1. The station list

The RMM software maintains a list of ILS stations. The list contains
information that is used by the software to identify and to connect to an ILS.
When the menu item File | Connect to station is selected, the station list
window is opened.

Figure.2.2 RMM station list window.

The user can do the following from the Station list window:

 Connect to a station
 Add a new station
 Edit a station
 Delete a station
Each of these operations is described below
In addition, the user can view the path and open the location of the current
database in Windows Explorer. This is useful for copying the database or sending
it to Indra Navia customer support
[Link].Connect to a station
To connect to a station that has been set up in the station list, the station
must first be selected and then the "Connect" button clicked. The RMM software
will connect to the station, before the user is asked to log on to the ILS.

 Enable automatic download: Check this box to automatically

download the medium time periodic storage from the ILS at the time
you specify. Note that the storage will only be downloaded if a user is
logged on to the ILS at the specified time. Automatic medium time
storage download will not be performed if another storage download
(excluding event download) is in progress at the specified time.
[Link].Delete a station
In order to delete a station, select the station and click the "Delete station"
button. The user is asked to confirm before the deletion takes place. Note that the
delete operation will also delete all historical data stored in the database for the
selected station. This may take a few seconds.

2.3.2. Logging on and off

After a connection has been established with an ILS the user must log on by
entering the user name and password(s).

Figure.2.4 RMM Logon window.

The top panel of the ILS Logon window displays dial/connection progress,
and when the connection has been established it shows which to port on the ILS
the user is connected, in addition to the RMS software version of the ILS.
To log on the user must wait until the user name and password field becomes
available for input and then enter a valid user name and one or more passwords.
The user name and password(s) are not case sensitive.
The ILS will compare the entered username and password(s) with the
information stored in the RMS subsystem in the ILS. If invalid logon information is
entered the RMS subsystem in the ILS will not allow access. A window will be

AAI/ANS/CNS/CATC/2023/CBTA-UNIT TRNG/ Nav-Aids/V1.0 -ILS (NM70XXB3)-MODULE 2 Page 37 of 92

ILS (NM70XXB3)

opened informing about what went wrong, and let the user perform another logon
attempt. If three attempts are used without success the ILS will disconnect and not
allow more login attempts for 3 minutes (Remote Port 1 and 2 only).
If the Auto-reconnect after communication loss checkbox is checked, the
RMM software will attempt to automatically reconnect and login to the ILS when
it comes available after a communication link drop out or ILS cabinet power loss.
Auto-reconnect is only available on "Direct-connect" connections and when
logging in at access level 1 only.
2.3.3. Access levels
The operations that are permitted to a logged on user depend on the logon
access level. The NORMARC 7000 ILS defines four access levels:

Access Number of Allowed operations

level passwords
Level 1 1 Readout of all measurements and all configuration data, except
user passwords.
Level 2 2 Level 1 operations + turning transmitters and LF signals on/off.

Level 3 3 Level 1 and 2 operations + setting all configuration data, except

user passwords.
MASTER 3 Level 1, 2 and 3 operations + setting/viewing users and passwords,
setting the ILS real time clock.

Table.2.1 RMM Access Levels.

Note that to logon at access level 2 or higher, more than one password
must be entered. The passwords must be separated with a single space. The user
name and password(s) are not case sensitive.
To logon as MASTER, which is a special built-in administrative user, the
user name “master” and all three master passwords must be entered (logon at
access levels 1 or 2 with the master user is therefore not possible). The factory
default master passwords are: MASTER1 MASTER2 MASTER3.

To logon at other access levels a user account must be first be set up by

the master user. If the master user passwords have been lost, the Customer
Service department can help with resetting the master passwords.

Note:
In order to logon at access level 2 or higher, straps on the TCA board must
be set to enable this. Refer to the NORMARC 7000 Instruction Manual for more
information about this.

2.3.4. Viewing reports

When logged on to an ILS the user can view reports for the current ILS. The
"View report" window is opened by selecting the menu item File | View report.

Figure.2.5 RMM View Report window.

There are four types of reports:

 A custom report. The user can select individual measurement groups and
settings to report. The predefined groups and settings have been selected
according to the maintenance procedures. The user can select what groups
to include on the report. The selection made by the user is saved, so the
user does not need make the selection each time a custom report is
generated.

 A report for documenting the operational status, all monitor and all
maintenance measurements, and selected configuration data. Note that all
configuration data is not included on the report, the report is therefore not
a replacement for the configuration files.

 A report for showing the operational history. See Operational history for a
description.

 A report for listing all events that have occurred in a selected time period.
The last 31 days are selected by default when the dialog is opened.
The reports are in HTML format and are automatically opened in the default

Web- browser when the user clicks the OK button. The user can print or save the
report from the Web-browser.
2.3.5. Preferences
User preferences can be selected in the File | Preferences window. These
settings are stored in the user portion of the Windows registry and will be restored
each time the program is started.

Figure.2.6 RMM Preferences window.

[Link].Unit for DDM values

Selects the unit to use for DDM values. This controls the unit used for all
DDM value output (on the screen and printed report) and DDM value user input
(for example monitor limit adjustment). Note that the unit used for DDM values
stored in the database and in configuration or historical or continuous data log files
is always µA.

To change the unit for DDM values on the LCD of the cabinet refer to the
System options section.

[Link]. Unit for RF Levels

Selects the unit to use for RF level values on the monitor system. This controls
the unit used for all RF value output (on the screen and printed report) and RF value
user input (for example monitor limit adjustment). Note that the unit used for RF values
stored in the database, in configuration and continuous data log files is always dB

[Link]. Date and Time Formats

The RMM software uses the regional settings set up in the Windows Control
Panel to format dates shown on the screen and on printed reports. The format used is
the “Short Date” format. This will make the displayed dates match the convention used in
the user’s country.

AAI/ANS/CNS/CATC/2023/CBTA-UNIT TRNG/ Nav-Aids/V1.0 -ILS (NM70XXB3)-MODULE 2 Page 40 of 92

 AIRPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA
UNIT TRAINING COURSE
ILS (NM70XXB3)
The time format is not retrieved from the regional settings. The 24-hour format
HH:MM:SS.S is used instead. This shows hours, minutes, seconds and tenths of
seconds.
In exported data (Continuous data logging) and in default filenames the date and
time format used is according to the international standard (ISO 8601), i.e. YYYY-MM-
DD for dates and HH:MM:SS.S for the time of day

[Link].Adjustment mode options

These options can be used to change the way the program displays
measurements and configuration settings. These options should be left un-
checked when the program is used for routine maintenance or monitoring.

 High decimal precision: Check this to display values and limits with an extra
decimal.

 Factory mode: Check this to display all the defined ILS configuration
parameters independent of the actual ILS system configuration. This option
should only be enabled for configuring new monitor, RMS or LF-generator
boards at the factory. It can also be necessary to enable this option when
a board is moved from one equipment to another (for example from a LOC
to a GP).

 Enable alarm limit setting in level 3 from Test DDM/Flight check window:
Check this to display buttons in the Test DDM (NORMARC 7000A) and Flight
check (NORMARC 7000B) windows for changing the CL DDM and NF DDM
monitor limits. This option can be enabled for easy access to monitor limit
setting during commissioning and flight- check. Note that some civil
aviation authorities may prohibit the use of this option.
NOTE: The user must manually close and re-open measurement and configuration
windows for the options to take effect when any Adjustment mode option has
been changed.
2.3.6. Using modems
The use of modems is required when connecting to an ILS over a public or
private telephone network. The connection can be either a dial-up connection or
a leased line connection. In both cases modems are connected to the PC and to an
RS232 port on the connection interface inside the ILS cabinet. Normally one of the
REMOTE1 or REMOTE2 ports is used for this.
When the "Connect method" for a station is set to "Dial up" or "Leased line",
the modem connected to the PC will be initialized with AT command strings set up
for the selected modem. The user can add new modem configurations and
customize the AT command strings for existing modems.
Procedures for using Westermo and USRobotics modems are described later
AAI/ANS/CNS/CATC/2023/CBTA-UNIT TRNG/ Nav-Aids/V1.0 -ILS (NM70XXB3)-MODULE 2 Page 41 of 92

in the "Using modems" chapter.

When the user clicks the Edit button in the "Edit station" window the window
shown in figure 2.7 will be opened:

Figure.2.7 RMM Modem Configuration window.

This window lists the modems for which dial up and leased line initialization
strings have been set up. The list will by default contain settings for a few
supported modems. If the modem that is to be used is not found in the list, the
user can add a new modem to the list by clicking the Add button. The setup for the
currently selected modem can be changed by clicking the Edit button. Selecting
Add or Edit will open the window shown in figure 2.8.

Figure.2.8 RMM Edit Modem window.

In this window the user can type in the init strings for dialup and leased line
connections respectively. The init string is sent to the modem before the actual call
is started. These settings require knowledge about the AT commands that are
supported by the specific modem in question, and should only be altered by a user
familiar with modems. The technical manuals for the modems will normally
contain the necessary information on how to initialize the modem.

ILS (NM70XXB3)

Figure.2.13 RMM Operational History window.

There are 3 types of entries that may be downloaded. These are:

1. "Clear history". This entry is placed in the history list after a user has
selected to clear all operational history and if the RMS detect that the data
stored in the battery backed RAM is not valid. The last case may be the case
after an upgrade to a new RMS version of the layout the RAM has changed
between RMS versions.

2. "Monthly report". The RMS stores this entry on the first day of each month.
Since the operational time counter (hours) is also stored, this gives the user
information about the usage of the ILS the last month.

3. "Alarm shutdown". This entry indicated that the ILS has performed a
transmitter shutdown due to an alarm condition detected by the executive
monitors.

In addition to the above types, a "<Data loss>" entry will be stored in the
database by the RMM software if it detects that there is no overlap of entries
stored in the database on the PC and in the ILS. This informs the user that over 100
entries have been generated in ILS since the last time the operational history was
downloaded.
Each entry has an "Outage" field. This field indicates whether the entry shall

count as an outage in MTBO calculations. Only entries of type "Alarm shutdown"

may have this field set to "Yes". The user can change this to "No". Note that if this
is done, a comment should also be written to describe why the shutdown should
not count as an outage.

Use the Clear history... button to reset the operational time counter and to
clear the operational history stored in the ILS. This operation requires the user to
logged on to an ILS and a login at the master access level. A confirmation from the
user is required before the operation is executed. If desired, the user can also
select to clear the operational history stored in the database on the PC.

Use the Edit entry... button to change the Outage (on alarm shutdown
entries only) and Comment fields. The Edit entry function is enabled on all access
levels, and also while viewing downloaded medium time or long time data in the
database. Note that the changed data is stored in the database only; it is not
uploaded back to the ILS.

2.5. Configuring the ILS

2.5.1. Configuration upload and download

The RMM software can save ILS configuration data to a file on the user's hard
disk and reconfigure the ILS with the saved configuration data when required.
Access level 3 is required for using the Upload function. Download can be
done at all access levels.
When the menu item File | Save configuration is selected, a file selection
window will be [Link] user must select a filename for saving the configuration
data in.

ILS (NM70XXB3)

If File | Upload configuration is clicked the user must also select which boards
in the ILS configuration data should be uploaded for. This is done in the
Configuration upload window shown below. When Upload is clicked the upload
process starts. Uploading may take several minutes
Note: When the RMS board is selected, the RMM software will automatically
select and upload configuration for any MO 1820 type monitors in the cabinet.

2.5.2. Monitor settings

[Link].Monitor limits

The Monitor tab in the Monitor settings windows shows the alarm and
warning limits for the monitorparameters. The list also shows the nominal value
for each parameter. The displayed limit values are relative to the nominal value.
There are 32 parameters on each monitor board. Depending on the monitor board
and equipment type (e.g. one/two frequency, cold/hot standby, etc) some of the
parameters will be disabled (i.e. have limits set to OFF) and not shown in the list.
The user can select to display all parameters by enabling “Factory mode” in the
Preferences window.

Figure.2.15 RMM Monitor Settings | Monitor limits Tab

AAI/ANS/CNS/CATC/2023/CBTA-UNIT TRNG/ Nav-Aids/V1.0 -ILS (NM70XXB3)-MODULE 2 Page 52 of 92

 AIRPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA
UNIT TRAINING COURSE
ILS (NM70XXB3)

When the limits and nominal values (in factory mode, also the scaling and
offset calibration values)for a parameter on monitor 1, 2 and for the standby
monitor (for hot standby equipment) are equal, the limits for the parameter will
be shown on a single line in the list.

Note: The values shown this window are arbitrary sample values. The
complete list and description of all monitor parameters can be found in chapter
7.7 in the NORMARC 7000B Instruction Manual.

[Link].Changing monitor limits

In order to change monitor limits the user must be logged on at access level
3 or as master. In these access levels the user can click the Edit button to open the
Monitor limits edit window which is shown in figure 2.16.
The title of the window shows the name of the parameter selected for
editing. The window has fields for editing the low and high alarm and warning
limits and the nominal value. The nominal value can be changed only for DDM
parameters. The unit (if the parameter has a defined measurement unit) for the
limits is also shown.

Figure.2.16 RMM Monitor limits edit window.

The Symmetric limits button is used for enabling/disabling symmetric input

mode. In symmetric input mode the user only enters the high limits; the low limits
will be automatically set so that the limits are symmetric about the nominal value.
Symmetric input mode will be enabled by default if the currently configured limits
are symmetric when the window is opened.
The Set limits off button is used for setting all limits to OFF. This fills in the
special values - 9999 and 9999 in the low and high limit fields, which is the same
as disabling alarm and warning generation on the parameter. -9999 or 9999 can
AAI/ANS/CNS/CATC/2023/CBTA-UNIT TRNG/ Nav-Aids/V1.0 -ILS (NM70XXB3)-MODULE 2 Page 53 of 92

ILS (NM70XXB3)

also be entered by the user to disable a specific limit.

Note: For parameters where the warning limits are entered as a percentage
of the alarm limits and the alarm limit is set to 9999, it is not meaningful to use a
warning limit other than 9999.
The Apply to ... drop down list is used for selecting which monitor to update
with the new values.

If the nominal value has been changed the new values must be applied to both
monitor 1 and 2 or to the standby monitor. The new values cannot be applied
to e.g. monitor 1 and not to monitor 2. This is because monitor 1 and 2 shares
the same copy of the nominal values.

Clicking the OK or the Apply button will send the new values to the ILS. The
OK button will in addition close the Monitor limit edit window.

Cancel will close window without sending anything to the ILS.

[Link].1. Monitor calibration

The Monitor calibration window is for calibrating monitor measurements.

The RMA 1822 stores a scale (gain) and offset value for each measurement.
The user interface software applies these values to the values read from or written
to the monitors.

The RMA 1822 stores an offset value only for CL, DS, NF, CLR, FFM A/B DDM
measurements. In addition, monitor 1 and 2 share the same offset value. The
remaining monitor measurements have fixed offset values. All parameters have
fixed scale (gain).
The “nominal value” defines the value which the alarm and warning limits
are entered relative [Link] RMA 1822 stores a separate nominal value for each
monitor and measurement. On the RMA 1822 each nominal value can be
configured by the user, while on the RMA 1822 the nominal values are fixed.
The scale, offset and nominal values are considered “system parameters”.
The values should therefore not be changed if any module is replaced. The values
should always be equal on monitor 1 and 2.

In order to change calibration data the user must be logged on at access level
3 or as master. In these access levels the user can click the Calibrate measurement
button on the Monitor limits tab in the Monitor settings window to open an edit
window for the currently selected parameter.

Clicking the OK or the Apply button will send the new values to the ILS. The
OK button also closes the edit window.
Cancel will close the window without sending anything to the ILS.
[Link].3. Monitor configuration (MO 1820/MF 1821/FC 1927 only)

The Monitor configuration tab in the Monitor settings window shows the
configuration data stored on any MO 1820, MF 1821 or FC 1927 boards present in
the system.

Executive FFM MO 1820 Enables or disables FFM alarm to cause transmitter

changeover or shutdown.
FC reduced FC 1927 Enables or disables a feature of the FC 1927 to reduce
comm rate data traffic between the FFM receiver and the LOC
cabinet. When disabled, the FC 1927 requests the FFM
to send measurement updates 2 times per second.
When enabled, the FC 1927 requests the FFM to send
measurement updates once per second when the
transmitters are on, and once every 5 seconds when off.
This feature can be enabled to save bandwidth when
used with e.g. wireless communication links.
FC swap FFM FC 1927 This option makes the FC 1927 swap the measurements
channels received for channel A and B. The MO 1820 will see FFM
channel A on its channel B input and vice versa. Disable
this on MON1 and enable on MON2 and set desired
limits on channel A and the limits on channel B off to
have 2/2 voting between FFM receiver channels A and
B. Disable (or
enable) on both monitors to have 1/2 voting (alarm on
one channel results in alarm on both monitors). This
mode can only be used when both FFM input channel
A and B are connected to the FFM centreline antenna.
FC comm Sets the time the FC 1927 will wait for FFM
timeout measurements before it considers the communication
link to have failed. When failed, the
FC 1927 sets all FFM measurements to zero and
activates the COMM FAIL maintenance warning signal
(which is shown under “Monitor ½ FFM controller”
board in the Maintenance measurements window.

alarm point is found. The visual indication in the upper half of the Flight check
window will indicate the change in DS DDM reading and will also indicate how close
to the alarm limits the signal is (alarm limit is indicated by a red line in the graphical
readout for each parameter).

If the alarm limit shows not to be correct when the alarm point is found, a
new alarm limit for the monitors can be set by clicking on the Set limits button
between the Mon1 and Mon2 indication for the relevant parameter.
The monitored value for that parameter will then be suggested as a new
alarm limit, but this value can be manually overridden.
The "Set limits" button will only be shown if the option "Enable alarm limit
setting in level 3 from Flight check window" under the menu option File |
Preferences is activated.

[Link].3. CLR test signals

For testing of CLR wide alarm a test setting is provided. By activating this, the
CLR SBO will be reduced. Fine-tuning of the setting can be done by clicking the

mean value and standard deviation of all monitor and analog maintenance
parameters are stored.
 Warning storage: One sample of all monitor and maintenance parameters
at the instant when a warning LED is activated. The 25 last warnings are
stored.

 Alarm storage: Samples of all monitor and maintenance parameters for a

period starting from 30s before an alarm occurred and ending with the
actual alarm sample. The last seven alarms are stored in the ILS. Two
alarms will be stored in the ILS for each alarm condition that results in a
transmitter changeover, which is followed by a shutdown.
In addition the ILS stores an event list in the battery backed RAM. See
Viewing events for more information about the event list.
2.6.2. Historical data storage in the RMM software

The RMM software allows the user to download the historical data from the
ILS. Downloaded data are saved in a database (Access .MDB-file) on the [Link]
different storage types are saved in the following ways on the PC:

 Medium time and Long time periodic data: When downloaded, this data is
stored in a database on the user's hard disk. Storing the data in a database
allows the user to browse through data measured over a longer period
than is stored inside the ILS. The data can also imported into third party
software (for example Microsoft Excel) with the use of ODBC database
access (option).

 Warning and Alarm storage: When downloaded, this data is stored as files
on the users hard disk. Storing the data as files simplifies the task of moving
the data from one computer to another, sending the data as e-mail, etc.

 Event storage: The event list is downloaded and stored in the database
each time a user logs on to an ILS.

The following sections describe how to download historical data and how to
view the data once it has been downloaded.
To delete historical data stored for a station in the database requires the user
to delete the station from the station list. There is no option to delete historical
data only.
2.6.3. Downloading historical data

Selecting the menu item File | Storage download opens the "Storage
download" window shown below. This window is used to select a historical storage

and start downloading it from the ILS.

If there is no data in a historical storage it will not be possible to select it for
download.
As it can be stored historical data for up seven alarms in the ILS, the user
must select which alarms to download. The time stamps shown in the window are
the time of the last data set in each storage (this time will be the same as the time
of the changeover or shutdown of the transmitters plus a few tenths of a second).
When a warning or alarm storage data is selected for download, a window
will be opened in which the user can select a folder and filename for saving the
data to. When medium time or long time period storage data is selected the data
will be stored in the database.

2.6.4. Viewing historical data

The menu item File | Open downloaded data is used to open and view
downloaded historical data. The window shown in figure 2.47 is opened when this
menu item is selected.

Figure.2.47 RMM Open Historical download data window.

The user must select the type of historical storage to open and the station
name (for medium time and long time periodic data) or filename (for warning and
alarm storage).
When the user clicks "Open" the historical data is opened. The main program
window will then change and become similar to the window below.

The following ILS-Data menu items can be used to view data from the
selected historical storage:
 Monitor
 Maintenance
 Event list and operational history (only when viewing medium time
periodic or long time periodic historical data)
 Diagnostics

When viewing alarm storage data, the bottom panel will also have a drop-
down list for selecting the alarm storage to be browsed. Also shown is a text field
that shows the result of the automatically performed diagnose result for the
selected alarm storage.
2.6.5. Continuous logging

The RMM program can be used to save the monitor and maintenance
measurements that are currently being received from an ILS directly to a file. This
function is referred to as "Continuous logging".
Continuous logging should not be confused with historical data stored in the
ILS. The following points describe the major differences:

 Data is logged real-time, i.e. only as long as the user is logged on to the ILS.
 Monitor and maintenance measurements must be saved to separate files.
 The user has complete control of the interval between saved data sets
(specifying a data set interval = zero seconds causes all received data to be
saved).
 Data that has been saved with Continuous logging cannot be viewed from
within the RMM program. A text editor (for example Windows Notepad)
or other third party software (for example Microsoft Excel) must be used
for opening and viewing the contents Continuous log files.
A typical utilization of the Continuous logging feature can be to find the
cause of problems that are not logged (or sufficiently logged) in the internal
historical storages.

2.7. Fault diagnostics

2.7.1. About fault diagnostics

If the LOC or GP fails, the RMM software should be used to locate the faulty
[Link] RMM software can perform two types of diagnostic tests based on the
measurements made available by the embedded RMS software in the NORMARC
7000B cabinet:
a) “Current data diagnostics”. The diagnose is here based on live data received
from a connected ILS rack or based on historical data sets (snap shots) of
measurements previously stored to disk.
b) Alarm event diagnostics”. This diagnostics function attempts to report the
cause of a transmitter changeover or a changeover/shutdown situation. The
diagnose is based on a particular alarm event in the event list and the
corresponding measurements in an alarm storage that will be downloaded from
the rack.
The diagnostic tests are based on passive reading of various measurement
points inside the NORMARC 70XXB cabinet and the data from the executive
monitors. No special signals need to be injected for the algorithms to work
(although the transmitters must be turned on).

The operator needs to be logged in at access level 1 to perform a Current

data diagnostics and an Alarm event diagnostics. Since only access level 1 is
required, the diagnostics tests can therefore be performed locally or from a
remote location using a modem connection.
2.7.2. Current data diagnostics

The Current data diagnostics is invoked by selecting the ILS | Current data
diagnostics menu item in the RMM software. There are two typical cases in which
the current data diagnostics function may be used:

a) On an operative ILS system, on which a warning situation is indicated. In this

case the current data diagnostics can be used to quickly find the cause of the
warning without taking the system out of service

b) In manual mode after a transmitter changeover or shutdown situation

(monitor alarm). The system can then be set to transmit on air, and the
current data diagnostics used to locate the module that is causing the
monitor alarms.

Refer to chapter 5.4 in the NORMARC 7000B Instruction Manual for a detailed
description of the algorithm used to isolate faults.

2.7.3. Alarm diagnostics

The RMS subsystem in the NORMARC 7000B cabinet continuously reads data
sets from monitor 1, 2 and the standby monitor. The last 30 seconds of data are
stored in an internal ring buffer. This buffer is partitioned in groups with different
sampling periods:

a) For the last 2 seconds, 10 data sets are stored each second for monitor 1 and
2. Standby monitor data sets are stored at ¼ of this frequency

b) For the last 10 seconds, one data set is stored each second

c) For the last 30 seconds, monitor 1, 2, standby and maintenance data are
stored every 5th second
When a changeover or shutdown alarm occurs the RMS does the following:

a) Stores the ring buffer with the last 30 seconds of monitor and maintenance
data from before the alarm in an internal alarm storage buffer. This buffer
resides in non-volatile RAM

b) Places a changeover or shutdown alarm event in the event list. This event
includes alarm state information for each monitor-channel. This information
is used by the RMM software for diagnosing the alarm event

The RMS keeps the seven most recent alarm storage buffers. A changeover-
only situation fills one alarm storage buffer, while a changeover with subsequent
shutdown situation uses two alarm storage buffers.

No alarm storage buffers will be saved if the equipment is in service mode

when the alarm occurs. (Service mode is activated by any of the following switches:
Local, Manual, Write Protect disable, Interlock Override and the Access Grant
enable switch on the Remote Control.)
The data in the buffers can be downloaded by the RMM software when a
user initiates an alarm event diagnostics (if the data is not already downloaded),
and used in the diagnostic algorithms described in Appendix A of Module 3.

The operator initiates an alarm event diagnostics by first selecting a

changeover or shutdown alarm in the Event List and then selects the “Event
diagnostics” button.
Once the alarm storage has been downloaded it is also possible to display
the individual samples. This method can be used, in addition to the automatic
diagnostic function, to find the cause of changeover or shutdown alarms.
Refer to chapter 5.4 in the NORMARC 7000B Instruction Manual for a
detailed description of the algorithm used to isolate faults.
