Modular Control System(ATG)

[joejesney]

Hi everyone,

Just stumbled across this forum and it seems fairly friendly and fairly busy (lot of members) so thought I would ask the question I was searching for on the internet.

I work as an Airfield Lighting Electrician on an RAF base and we are having a new modular control system installed by ATG, I wondered if by chance there was any other airfield electricians around here who may have experience of it?

My main questions are, is there a built in contact system to communicate with ATC, our current system has a phone built in to allow requests for local control? Also what are the main benefits of fibre over 15 pair, I'm used to the tag points for fault finding and can't see how this would work with fibre (between D20 units), or is this simply not an issue anymore? Any other advice on the system would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Joe

One problem when you work in a certain field is you get to expect everyone to know the acronyms you use all the time. I worked out ATC is air traffic control, what’s ATG and D20?

I could have translated this out as:
Does an Air Training Cadet have to ask A Tiny Girl to call unit D20 at Boot’s Nottingham distribution depot?

ATG is a company and D20 is a control box.

Sorry, but in my defence any one who could answer my questions would know what they are

Is that ATG St Helens, now part of BIS Bilfinger?
