Tracer Summit system
overview
The Tracer Summit building automation system (BAS) provides building
control through a single, integrated system. A building’s climate, lighting,
scheduling, energy consumption, and other controllable features can all
be programmed and managed by Tracer Summit. A Tracer Summit BAS
consists of building control units (BCUs) and PC Workstations with
Tracer Summit software. A building operator uses either a PC Worksta-
tion or the operator display (touch screen) on the building control unit
(BCU) to perform system operator tasks. The PC Workstation communi-
cates to BCUs over a dedicated Ethernet (ISO/IEC 8802-3) local area net-
work (LAN) or on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet protocol
(TCP/IP) compatible network. Remote access to the system is available
using either a modem in the BCU or an Internet connection with a Tracer
Summit Web Server. The PC Workstation can communicate to multiple
sites simultaneously.
The Tracer Summit system architecture is highly distributed (see
Figure 1 on page 2). Control can occur at the appropriate system level to
ensure integrity. The three levels of control are:
• Operator interface
• Building control
• Unit control
The BMTX BCU (enhanced BCU)
The information in this guide related to the BCU applies specifically to
the BMTX BCU (sometimes referred to as the enhanced BCU). For infor-
mation about the BMTW BCU (sometimes referred to as the modular
BCU) or the BMTS BCU, see the Tracer Summit Hardware and Software
Installation guide.
Before installation
• Be sure all items on the packing list are included and are not
damaged.
• Familiarize yourself with this guide and any support literature.
• Formulate a comprehensive installation plan for the entire Tracer
Summit system.
