Type H Arresting Gear Control Upgrade

Modernize legacy Type H arresting gear controls to improve reliability, safety monitoring, and tower response times.

Type H Arresting Gear Control Upgrade projects focus on replacing aging relay logic with modern PLC-based controls. We enhance system diagnostics, add remote monitoring capabilities, and ensure seamless integration with tower operations.

By upgrading Type H controls, airfields gain better visibility into barrier status and reduce the maintenance burden of legacy hardware.

We also verify compatibility with existing airfield infrastructure and validate safety interlocks to meet current operational standards.

Key focus areas

  • PLC-based control modernization
  • Remote monitoring and diagnostics
  • Integration with tower and fire station panels

Implementation checklist

  • Map existing relay logic to PLC requirements
  • Validate safety interlock functionality
  • Conduct operator training on new HMI screens
