Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of navigation lights and their monitoring, and more specifically, to a navigation light fixture, a navigation light fixture control device, and a control method. Background Technology
[0002] Airport navigational lighting systems are a crucial component of ensuring normal airport operations, serving as essential visual navigation aids for aircraft to take off, land, and taxi smoothly at night and in complex weather conditions. Currently, to improve airport operational efficiency, Level IV Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems (A-SMGCS) guide aircraft, vehicles, and moving targets by controlling the illumination of taxiway centerline lights or stop row lights in segments or individually, a widely accepted approach in the industry.
[0003] Currently, mainstream navigational lighting single-lamp monitoring systems use power line carrier communication. However, due to many unfavorable factors such as the long airport operating circuit being susceptible to external noise interference, the degradation of the circuit's own line performance, and the impact of water storage in the lamp barrel, the channel characteristics of different frequency bands on the navigational lighting cables vary greatly and are sometimes variable. Navigational lighting status monitoring and lighting guidance systems using a single power line carrier communication method can hardly fully meet the operational requirements of Level IV A-SMGCS.
[0004] The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) clearly stated in the "Roadmap for New Generation Aviation Broadband Communication Technology in China's Civil Aviation" that it will vigorously promote the application of new generation aviation broadband communication, build a civil aviation 5G network that combines public and private services, actively construct a world-class modern civil aviation communication infrastructure system, and help build and operate a smart civil aviation transportation system. Existing airports are gradually shifting from 4G private networks to deploying 5G airport surface broadband mobile communication networks.
[0005] CN 113382505A discloses a navigation light drive control device based on broadband power line carrier communication. Although it solves the problem of separation between the light fixture and the light fixture controller in existing navigation light monitoring systems and proposes a navigation light drive control device based on broadband power line carrier communication that combines the functions of a single light monitoring module and a navigation light fixture, it does not fundamentally solve the reliability and real-time requirements of power line carrier communication in the field of navigation light applications. CN 112867215A discloses a 5G smart navigation light and its usage method, and CN115307091A discloses a navigation light. Although they adopt wireless communication, they do not provide specific implementation methods or solutions for extreme operating conditions such as signal coverage obstruction during aircraft taxiing, which poses operational risks to the system. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a navigation light fixture, a navigation light fixture control device, and a control method. It optimizes the power line carrier networking method for the serial circuit of the navigation light fixture, which can greatly reduce the networking time after the navigation light fixture is powered on, realize plug and play, receive remote control commands through wireless and power line carrier communication to control the navigation light fixture to turn on, off, and flash, and can also realize specified light intensity output to meet the needs of single lamp detection and light guidance.
[0007] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following solution:

The communication module comprises a power line carrier communication module and a wireless communication module. The navigation lights utilize a combination of these two communication methods to receive remote control commands and adjust the output light level brightness, enabling control of the lights' on / off and flashing states. The AC / DC module converts the constant current output of the isolation transformer into DC power to provide operating power for the LED driver module, FPGA module, signal conditioning module, and wireless communication module.
[0010] The signal coupling module has a reserved signal line interface for providing an interface when the system uses broadband power line carrier communication; at the same time, when the system uses narrowband power line carrier communication, the coupling module is also used to filter out noise, extract the carrier signal from the power line, and send it to the signal conditioning module for preprocessing.

When a certain level of light input is detected, the output current value of the LED module is controlled to make the LED beads output the light intensity of the certain level of light;
[0012] The FPGA module includes a timing processing module, a carrier data processing module, a wireless module interface initialization module, a function control module, and a storage module. The timing processing module is used to process the operating timing of the AC / DC module, the LED driver module, and the power line carrier signal conditioning and modulation / demodulation timing. The carrier data processing module is a power line carrier communication protocol implementation unit, integrating physical layer, data link layer, and application layer protocols, and is configured with a fixed MAC address for precise location of the lamps and individual lamp control.

The function control module is used for light level detection, light level output control, and lamp on / off control. The lamp light level output control adopts two control methods: current input control and external command. When a control command is received, it is parsed, and the lamp's on / off and flashing control are implemented based on the parsing results, as well as the lamp's operating status is reported.
[0013] The storage module is used to store the FPGA's running program;
[0014] The wireless communication module receives and transmits data through an antenna, and sends the demodulated data to the FPGA module for processing through a communication interface. The FPGA module interacts with the wireless communication module and controls the working status of the wireless communication module after it is powered on.
[0015] Furthermore, the LED driver module circuit includes resistors, capacitors, inductors, and a buck control driver U1. The FPGA module, based on the acquired input current value or received light level command, sets LED_CH1_EN and LED_CH1_ADJ enable U1, controlling the MOSFET Q1 to turn on or off. Current flows through resistor R4, Q1, and inductor L1, providing the LED bead with operating current I. LED On the other hand, it also stores energy in inductor L1. When the current exceeds the preset threshold, the voltage across R4 triggers U1 to turn off Q1. R5 and C3 set the turn-off time T, the value of which is obtained by the following formula: C is the circuit parasitic capacitance, and V is the preset voltage.
[0016]
[0017]
[0018]
[0019] R1 and R2 are configured for undervoltage protection. When the input power supply VCC_LED is lower than the design value, the U1 control pin PGATE turns off the MOSFET Q1.

The isolation transformer includes isolation transformer A and isolation transformer B, and the LED driver module includes LED driver module A and LED driver module B. The input of isolation transformer A supplies power to LED driver module A through an AC / DC module, and the input of isolation transformer B supplies power to LED driver module B through an AC / DC module. The digital power generated by isolation transformers A and B after passing through the AC / DC module respectively supplies power to the control core FPGA module through the power selection unit, thereby achieving the purpose of dual-channel lamp drivers sharing a single control core.
[0021] Furthermore, it also includes an EMI protection circuit and a current detection circuit. The EMI protection circuit is used for electromagnetic shielding protection; the current detection circuit is used to detect the current value at the input terminal of the isolation transformer, and sets the output current of the LED driver module through the FPGA module according to the magnitude of the current value.
[0022] Furthermore, the wireless communication module supports three working modes: 4G, 5G, and 5G-A.
[0023] Furthermore, the FPGA module interacts with the wireless communication module via a serial port and a USB port.
[0024] Furthermore, the FPGA module controls the working state of the wireless communication module after power-on through the RESET signal, EN signal, and POWAKE interface.
[0025] Furthermore, the wireless module has a SIM card interface, which reads SIM card information after power-on initialization for subsequent dialing operations.
[0026] Furthermore, the power line carrier communication module is used to execute the following process:
[0027] For nodes that need to join the network, perform network clustering and networking according to the specified path to minimize the number of proxy nodes in the system; calculate the quantization matrix composed of the environmental parameters of the network nodes, and specify the operating frequency band for different relay levels based on the calculation results;
[0028] The nodes in each cluster are optimized for networking according to channel characteristic parameters; after networking is completed, the loop network management unit saves the currently generated routing table.
[0029] When the system is powered on again after a power outage, the loopback management unit first reads the routing table information in the memory after initialization. If the table is empty, the networking process is started; otherwise, the network is formed according to the routing table information in the memory. When one or more nodes in the system fail and leave the network, new communication nodes are replaced at the corresponding locations during maintenance. When the loopback management unit detects the new communication node, it sends a management frame to inform the new communication node to inherit the routing status information and update the routing table information in the memory, thus avoiding dynamic re-networking of the system.

[0075] First, let's introduce the current airport navigation lighting power supply system. When using narrowband power line carrier communication technology, Figure 1The system comprises a constant current dimmer (CCR), multiple isolation transformers connected in series via a primary cable, and luminaires. The constant current dimmer outputs a constant current, which flows sequentially through the primary cable core, the isolation transformers, and back to the constant current dimmer via the primary cable core. The power line carrier central coordination unit (CCO) couples the carrier signal to the input side of the high-voltage isolation transformer of the CCR and interacts with the edge computing gateway via a network cable. The luminaires are connected in series on the secondary side of the isolation transformers. They can receive control commands from the edge gateway, modulated by power line carrier, through the isolation transformers. Simultaneously, the luminaires can couple their own operating status information from the isolation transformers to the primary cable loop via power line carrier, and then upload it to the edge computing gateway for processing via the CCR and CCO. The luminaires can also receive control commands sent by the edge computing gateway through the base station via their antennas, and can also send their status information via their antennas, which is then forwarded by the base station to the edge computing gateway, thereby achieving overall lighting control and operating status monitoring of the luminaires.
[0076] When using broadband power line carrier communication technology Figure 2 The system consists of a constant current dimmer (CCR), multiple isolation transformers connected in series via a primary cable, and luminaires. The constant current dimmer outputs a constant current, which flows sequentially through the primary cable core, the isolation transformers, and back to the constant current dimmer via the primary cable core. The power line carrier central coordination unit (CCO) couples the carrier signal to the primary cable core and the shielded ground of the primary cable loop, and interacts with the edge computing gateway via a network cable. The luminaires are connected in series on the secondary side of the isolation transformers. They can receive control commands from the edge gateway, modulated by power line carrier, through a signal coupling unit. Simultaneously, the luminaires can couple their own operating status information from the signal coupling unit to the primary cable loop via power line carrier, and then upload it to the edge computing gateway for processing via the CCR and CCO. The luminaires can also receive control commands sent by the edge computing gateway through the base station via antennas, and can also send their status information via antennas, which is then forwarded by the base station to the edge computing gateway, thereby achieving overall lighting control and operating status monitoring of the luminaires.
[0077] This invention addresses existing single-lamp monitoring systems for navigation lights by proposing a navigation light control device, control method, and navigation lights, particularly taxiway centerline lights and their control method, aiming to solve at least the following problems:
[0078] 1) Resolve the issue of inaccurate reporting of lighting fixture malfunctions;
[0079] 2) This invention addresses the reliability issues of lighting fixtures responding to external commands for on / off control under a single power line carrier communication method, as well as the poor stability and real-time performance of lighting control caused by sudden changes in line signal quality in some areas. By utilizing this invention and by reducing and optimizing the existing low-voltage line power line carrier communication protocol, a customized power line carrier protocol is implemented through FPGA, solving the problems of long networking time and inability to send data in parallel.
[0080] 3) Solve the problem that the lamps cannot respond to external commands to control their on / off state in case of sudden situations such as signal interruption under a single wireless communication method;
[0081] 4) Integrating the lighting controller and the lighting fixture into one unit reduces costs and maintenance workload; by combining the two communication methods, the advantages of each method are combined to solve the problem of the difficulty and high cost of deploying redundant base stations at airports.
[0082] In a specific embodiment, the overall block diagram of the navigation light drive is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the constant current output of the AC / DC module isolation transformer is converted into DC to provide power to the LED driver module, FPGA, signal conditioning module, and wireless communication module. It also includes EMI protection circuitry and current detection circuitry. The EMI protection circuitry consists of one line-to-line gas discharge tube, two line-to-ground gas discharge tubes, a varistor, a differential-mode inductor, and a filter capacitor. The current detection circuitry primarily detects the input current value of the isolation transformer and, based on this current value, sets the output current of the LED driver module via the FPGA.
[0083] Optional, such as Figure 4 As shown, to support the dual isolation transformer power supply method for both Side A and Side B LED driver modules, this luminaire driver can be configured to operate in the following mode: the input of isolation transformer A powers the Side A LED driver module via an AC / DC module, and the input of isolation transformer B powers the Side B LED driver module via an AC / DC module. The digital power generated by isolation transformers A and B after passing through the AC / DC module is used to power the control core FPGA via a selection switch, thus achieving the goal of sharing a single control core for both luminaire drivers.
[0084] When the system adopts narrowband power line carrier communication technology, the coupling module mainly filters out noise in the 50Hz AC and low-frequency bands, extracts the carrier signal from the power line, and sends it to the signal conditioning module for preprocessing. The signal coupling module reserves a signal line interface to provide an interface for the system to adopt broadband power line carrier communication technology.
[0085] The signal conditioning module comprises two functional parts: a carrier signal conditioning module and an input current waveform signal conditioning module. The carrier signal conditioning module includes an input signal conditioning module and an output signal conditioning module. The input signal conditioning module consists of a differential automatic gain amplifier and a differential high-speed ADC, which samples the carrier signal input from the signal coupling module at high speed, converts it into a digital signal, and sends it to the FPGA module for processing. The output signal conditioning module consists of a DAC and a signal driving circuit. The FPGA converts the data to be transmitted into a differential analog signal through the DAC, and then couples it to both ends of the isolation transformer input line via the signal driving circuit. Figure 5 As shown, the signal coupling module consists of a driver circuit U1, coupling capacitors C1 and C2, and a transformer T1. The FPGA provides control signals EN1 and EN2 to the driver circuit U1 to select whether to receive signals from the power line or couple data to be transmitted onto the power line. The input current waveform signal conditioning consists of a low-noise operational amplifier, a filter circuit, and an ADC. The FPGA controls the ADC conversion timing and performs serial-to-parallel conversion on the ADC output before data processing. When a first-level light input is detected, the output current value of the LED module is controlled to adjust the light intensity of the LED lamp bead to the first-level light intensity. A total of 5 levels of light adjustment are supported.
[0086] The FPGA module comprises a timing processing module, a carrier data processing module, a wireless module interface initialization module, a function control module, and a storage module. The timing processing module includes the operating timing of the AC / DC module, the LED driver module, and the power line carrier signal conditioning and demodulation timing. The carrier data processing module is the power line carrier communication protocol implementation unit, integrating physical layer, data link layer, and application layer protocols. It also configures a fixed MAC address for precise lamp location and individual lamp control. The wireless module interface initialization module identifies the wireless module, dials up to the network, and establishes a connection based on the identified module. The function control module includes light level detection, light level output control, and lamp on / off control. Lamp light level control can use both current input control and external command control. When a control command is received, it is parsed, and based on the parsed result, the on / off and flashing control of the lamp is implemented, as well as the lamp's operating status is reported. The storage module primarily stores the FPGA's running program.
[0087] The LED driver module consists of a Side A LED driver module and a Side B LED driver module, providing constant voltage and constant current output to the LEDs in the corresponding luminaire window to meet the specified light intensity requirements. Its output is five levels of light adjustable. When the driver is configured in single-input power supply mode, both Side A and Side B LED driver modules are powered by the same AC / DC module; when the driver is configured in dual-input power supply mode, Side A and Side B LED driver modules are powered independently by different AC / DC modules. The LED driver module circuit diagram is shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the FPGA module enables LED_CH1_EN and LED_CH1_ADJ U1 based on the acquired input current value or the received optical level command, controlling Q1 to turn on or off. Current flows through R4, Q1, and L1, providing the LED beads with operating current I. LED On the other hand, it also stores energy in inductor L1. When the current exceeds the preset threshold, the voltage across R4 triggers U1 to turn off Q1. R5 and C3 set the turn-off time T, the value of which can be obtained by formula (1). C is the parasitic capacitance of the circuit, and V is the preset voltage.
[0088]

[0090]
[0091] R1 and R2 are configured for undervoltage protection. When the input power supply VCC_LED is lower than the design value, the U1 control pin PGATE turns off the MOSFET Q1. J1 is a connector connected to the LED bead, and D1 is a freewheeling diode.
[0092] The wireless module receives and transmits data via its antenna, and the demodulated data is sent to the FPGA module for processing through a communication interface. The wireless module supports 4G, 5G, and 5G-A operating modes. The FPGA module interacts with the wireless module via a serial port and a USB port. The FPGA module controls the wireless module's operating state after power-on through interfaces such as reset (RESET), enable (EN), and operating mode control (PEWAKE). The wireless module has a SIM card interface, which reads the SIM card information after power-on initialization for subsequent dialing operations. The AC / DC module provides a 3.8V DC power supply to the wireless module.
[0093] The antenna is a printed circuit board antenna, fixed inside the lamp housing. It receives or transmits radio waves by opening multiple signal transmission slots on the lamp cover.
[0094] The system power-on process is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the specific steps include the following:
[0095] S1, after power-on, the AD / DC module obtains DC power to power the FPGA through the full-bridge rectifier circuit;
[0096] S2, after the FPGA module is initialized, the AD / DC module is adjusted to half-bridge working mode according to the load size, generating the working power of the LED driver module and the wireless module, and setting the corresponding channel output light level according to the detected input current result;
[0097] S3, the FPGA module initializes the carrier data processing module, starts listening to and receiving beacon frames sent by the Central Coordination Unit (CCO) of the power line carrier, and completes the network formation after confirmation;
[0098] S4, when the FPGA module detects the channel quality on the power line in real time, if it is lower than the preset value, the wireless communication module is woken up and the wireless transmission channel is started; if it is higher than the preset value, the power line carrier data channel is used.
[0099] S5: When a lighting malfunction is detected, the data transmission channel is immediately activated to report the malfunction.
[0100] The wireless module interface initialization process is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the specific steps include the following:
[0101] SS1: When a lighting fixture malfunction is detected, the data transmission channel is immediately activated to report the malfunction.
[0102] SS2 checks the SIM card status and network registration status. If a success flag is returned, proceed to the next step; otherwise, an error flag is returned, indicating that the wireless channel is unavailable.
[0103] SS3, dial. If successful, proceed to the next step; otherwise, repeat the dialing operation at a fixed time interval until successful.
[0104] SS4 establishes a TCP / IP connection with the server. If the connection is successful, data transmission can proceed; otherwise, the dialing process is returned.
[0105] The lighting control process is as follows: Figure 9 As shown, the specific steps include the following:
[0106] T1 establishes a TCP / IP connection with the server. If the connection is successful, data transmission can proceed. If the connection fails, the dialing process is returned.
[0107] T2: After the FPGA module successfully parses the command, it executes the corresponding operation based on the command value and returns the execution result.
[0108] The communication module of this invention provides a network clustering method based on channel characteristic parameters. Nodes requiring network access are clustered and managed according to specified paths, minimizing the number of proxy nodes in the system. The network is optimized for nodes within each cluster based on channel characteristic parameters, eliminating the need for a relay-level convergence process and significantly reducing network setup time. Different operating frequency bands are allocated to different relay clustering areas based on a quantization matrix composed of environmental parameters such as cluster attenuation levels, channel transmission bandwidth, and transmission power levels of the network nodes. After network setup, the loopback management unit saves the currently generated routing table. When the system is powered on again after a power outage, the loopback management unit, after initialization, first reads the routing table information in memory.
