DIGITRAC - One of the key elements of the DCCMS is the Digitrac. The Digitrac enables the advanced distributed architecture of the DCCMS. Each element controlled by the DCCMS (CCR, selector switch, ATS, generator, beacon, etc.) has a Digitrac. The unit is a microprocessor-based module that includes all communication, command, monitoring, input/output, and fail-safe functions. The Digitrac operates the controllable elements according to the air traffic controllers' commands and transfers the status of these elements back to the controllers and to the operations and maintenance.
