Overview

The Tracker building automation system (BAS) is an energy management system for small- to medium-size buildings. The Tracker BAS controls heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. It consists of a Tracker controller (Figure 1) and an optional PC workstation.

The Tracker BAS can be operated by using either a Tracker controller or a PC workstation that is running Tracker PC Workstation software. A visual interface enables an operator to set up and change HVAC operating parameters and to collect and display building information. The Tracker PC Workstation software allows a PC to be connected to the Tracker controller directly with a prescribed adapter and cable, locally over a standard Ethernet local area network (LAN) connection, or remotely with a modem and standard phone line.

The Tracker BAS supports Comm5 communications architecture, which is the Trane implementation of LonTalk® protocol. It resides on a network (Figure 2 on page 2 and Figure 3 on page 3) that includes HVAC and other comfort-related equipment, such as Trane VariTrac zoning systems; zoning controls; unit control modules (UCMs), which control and monitor other HVAC equipment; Tracer LCI-V (LonTalk® communication interfaces for Voyager rooftop controls); Tracer LCI-R (LonTalk® communication interfaces for ReliaTel rooftop controls); external input/ output (I/O) devices, which help to monitor and control specific areas or devices; and miscellaneous equipment such as sensors, lights, and fans.
