Features Graphical programming Operator display The Tracer graphical programming (TGP) editor, shown in Figure 3 on page 7, eliminates the need for line-by-line programming. The TGP editor is a software component of Trane’s Rover service tool. TGP has the following advantages: The optional operator-display touch screen is an intuitive operator interface for monitoring and changing building control functions.

Network architecture Tracer MP580/581 controllers can operate as stand-alone controllers, on a peer-to-peer network, or as part of a Tracer Summit building automation system (see Figure 7). With an operator display, you can monitor information and make control changes on a peer-to-peer network.
Wiring diagram Figure 8 shows typical input and output connections to the termination board. For details on inputs and outputs, see “Inputs and outputs” on page 4.
