The overall objective of this project was the development of a control cabinet unit (CCU) that would be implemented in the future at U.S. airports by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This work included design, analysis, and testing of the control cabinet unit. The new control cabinet was designed by FIU-HCET and DME Corporation, using state-of-the-art components in order to eliminate expensive components and support the new lighting and remote monitoring system (RMS) requirements. These components include a micro controller with associated hardware and software support, solid-state relays for power distribution, miscellaneous components for remote and local control, and vacuum florescent display. During the research and development process, the mechanical design and electrical circuit design and analysis were performed by FIU-HCET and DME Corporation team. After completion of the final mechanical and electrical design phase, DME Corporation developed two prototype control cabinet units. A series of Design Verification Tests (DVT) were conducted on the two prototype units. The DVT included electromagnetic interference testing (EMI), and Surge testing performed at Rubicom Systems Inc. (RSI) in Melbourne, Florida and environmental testing performed at East West Technology (EWT) in Jupiter, Florida and at Florida International University (FIU), in Miami, Florida. The DVT were conducted as per MIL-STD-461E and MIL-STD-810F for Navy and Air Force applications. This report summarizes the results of the design verification testing (DVT) of the CCU. Table 1 presents the summary of the DVT results. |
