AGLCS HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE

SCADATRON AGL control system (AGLCS) uses standard proven SCADA software as platform and configured as Human Machine Interface (HMI) which provide many state of art control/ communication features.

The HMI interfacing is designed in such a way that Air Traffic Controllers can operate the AGLCS with fast and minimum actions required. It is also designed for touch screen operations without the need of using keyboard or mouse. The AGLCS HMI screen normally consist of Runway MIMIC with control buttons on one screen and monitoring facilities indication on another screen. The HMI screen can be custom configured according to different airport needs.

One (or two) of the HMI computer is configured as server(s). The servers communicate with the Front End Processor (FEP) or Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and distributes information to other display nodes as required. The servers are normally located in the Aerodrome Tower.

On the other hand, other computers which does not play arole as server are called display clients which only allowed for monitoring / indication display purposes. These HMI computers are normally located in the monitoring room.

Monitoring HMI Terminal

A maintenance computer (monitoring Client HMI) normally located in the maintenance center receiving data from the tower server. This monitoring computer has the following functions :

Runway MIMIC and Control (AGL control is not permitted without an authorization code)
Print server (the logging printer is connected to it in monitoring room)
Display the control state (On/Off, brilliancy steps) and AGL actual state (circuit activated)
Display any control error alarm
Display hardware alarm (FEP, RTU, communication BUS error)
Display status / fault indication from CCRs (Circuit Activated, Earth Fault, Lamp Failure)
