The document, titled "DCE Modernization Kits SIR Question and Comment Matrix AAQ210-DCE-SIR," serves as a structured matrix for tracking questions and comments related to a Request for Information (SIR) concerning DCE Modernization Kits. This file is specifically designed to organize feedback, inquiries, and observations pertaining to the AAQ210-DCE-SIR solicitation. It provides a framework for documenting references to specific pages or paragraphs within the SIR document, ensuring clear traceability for each question or comment. This type of matrix is critical in government procurement processes, such as RFPs or grants, as it facilitates transparent communication between the issuing agency and potential vendors or grantees, allowing for clarification of requirements and specifications before the final submission of proposals.
The document, Appendix A of AJW-143-026-001, provides a comprehensive parts list for the assembly of the Universal Pedestal Electronic Control (UPEC) kit. It details materials required for various components, including the enclosure, surge suppression, PLC chassis, power supply terminal and comm rails, front panel components, box connectors, azimuth decoder board, and associated hardware for connectors, inserts, display mounting, and ground cables. The appendix also specifies different types and gauges of wire, internal connectors, and encoder surge suppression parts. Additionally, it lists external parts kits for ASR-9, ASR-8, and ASR-11, which include various connectors, strain reliefs, plugs, cords, and cable labels. The document concludes by stating that a crimper is the only special tool required for assembly.
This government file, Appendix B of AJW-143-026-001, outlines the assembly instructions for the Universal Pedestal Electronic Control. It details a suggested manufacturing and assembly guide, emphasizing that the successful bidder can determine their own methods based on provided drawings and parts lists. The document systematically lists the various wires to be built according to specific drawing numbers, followed by instructions for enclosure preparation, including silkscreening and serial number labeling. The core of the document provides a step-by-step suggested assembly procedure, covering the installation of rivet-nuts, din rails (for surge suppressors, power supply terminals, and power/comm components), PLC chassis, ground cables, and the azimuth decoder board. Finally, it details the installation of the front panel hardware, including LEDs, switches, fuse holders, and the LCD display, along with mounting the encoder surge rail and connectors. The process concludes with the installation of all wires and a reference to Appendix G for testing and evaluation.
This document, Appendix C of AJW-143-026-001, provides detailed instructions for setting up and configuring a Universal Pedestal Electronic Control system using an OPTO 22 groov EPIC processor and an SD card. The setup involves creating an administrator account, configuring IP addresses (192.168.1.100 for Ethernet 0 and 192.168.1.200 for Ethernet 1), connecting a computer, activating the processor, updating firmware, and verifying the time zone. Subsequent steps include restoring system backups, PAC Control strategy, groov View project, and Node-RED project from FAA-provided software packages. It also details updating the license for shell access and calibrating the touchscreen. The SD card programming section outlines formatting the card to FAT32, copying the BOOT.bin file, and inserting it into a KRTKL Snickerdoodle Black FPGA Board. This comprehensive guide ensures the correct and safe deployment of the control system.
The document Appendix D, titled "Universal Pedestal Electronic Control," provides detailed cable diagrams, parts lists, and pinout labels for various electronic control units (A1A1M0, A1A1M1, A1A1M2, A1A1M3, J1, J2, and J3) used by the Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration. Each section outlines specific cable connections, wire colors, gauges, "From" and "To" labels, and lengths in inches. The document includes general engineering notes on measurements, tolerances, burr removal, and specific instructions for wire stripping, part installation, soldering, and heat shrink application. Key components listed include spade terminals, heatshrink tubing, resistors, and various connectors. It emphasizes precise wiring, component installation, and adherence to FAA standards for electronic control systems.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Airway Systems Engineering, AJW-143 Airport Radar Systems, has released project requirements for the ASR Universal Pedestal Electronic Control (UPEC) and Antenna Positioning Improvement. This document outlines the subsystem specifications to address obsolescence issues with azimuth position encoders in ASR-8, ASR-9, and ASR-11 systems, and to provide a single interface for various Antenna Control Systems. The project focuses on improving antenna positioning accuracy, transitioning from older technologies to modern non-contact angle sensing methods, and establishing new control and monitoring capabilities for antenna tower equipment. Key requirements include a dual, independent azimuth data system with direct-drive pulse generators, enhanced reliability, precise pulse generation, remote/local control, and comprehensive alarm monitoring. The UPEC system must also be modernized to interface with next-generation radar systems and comply with FAA security and development standards.
