In generic mode, the Tracer MP501 provides control flexibility in a vari-
ety of applications that do not necessarily follow a LonMark
â„¢ profile.
The control loop accepts inputs of the following types: temperature, pres-
sure, flow, percent, or parts per million (ppm). Generic mode supports
many applications including:
• Fan speed control based on duct static pressure
• Pump speed control based on water differential pressure or flow
• Humidifier control based on space or duct relative humidity
Tracer MP503 I/O Module
The Tracer MP503 input/output (I/O) module is a field-installed module
used to monitor inputs and control binary outputs. The module has four
universal inputs that can be configured as binary, thermistor, 0–20 mA,
or 0–10 Vdc, as well as four binary outputs. The MP503 I/O module
communicates with Tracer Summit by using the Generic LonTalk
®
Device (GLD) object.
Tracer MP580 and Tracer MP581 Controllers
The multi-purpose Tracer MP580 (factory-installed) and Tracer MP581
(field-installed) controllers provide control for many types of HVAC
equipment, including air handlers, chillers, pumps, and generic loads
through the use of generic inputs and outputs. The Tracer MP580/581
controller requires customized Tracer Graphical Programming and con-
figurations using Rover service tool software Version 3.0 or higher.
The Tracer MP580/581 controller has three possible configurations: a
completely generic, programmable configuration (called a No Profile con-
figuration), a configuration conforming to the LonMark
â„¢ DAC profile,
and a configuration conforming to the LonMark
â„¢ SCC profile. The DAC
and SCC configurations enable the Tracer MP580/581 to use the appro-
priate LonMark
â„¢ profile to send information to and receive information
from the Tracer Summit BCU, in addition to using the generic variables
of the No Profile configuration. The Tracer MP580/581 needs to have the
correct configuration (selected through the Rover service tool) before
Tracer Summit connects to it. Despite the configuration names of DAC
and SCC, Tracer Summit always treats the Tracer MP580/581 controller
as a Tracer MP580/581 object rather than as a DAC or SCC object.
Tracer Zone Controllers
Tracer zone controllers monitor and control equipment such as fan coils,
classroom unit ventilators, water-source heat pumps, and blower coils.
Trane zone controllers include the following: factory-installed Tracer
ZN524, ZN510 and ZN520 and field-installed Tracer ZN511, ZN517, and
ZN521. These controllers communicates with Tracer Summit using the
Space Comfort Controller (SCC) object.
Tracer VV550 and Tracer VV551 controllers
The Tracer VV550 (factory-installed) and Tracer 551 (field-installed) con-
trollers provide digital control for variable air volume (VAV) boxes and
