Tracer MP580/581 models
Operator display models
Expansion module
Several models of Tracer MP580/581
controllers are available. Tracer MP581
Operator-display touch screens are
available as options for all Tracer MP580/
581 controllers. The operator-display
models are illustrated in Figure 2 on
You can use up to four EX2 expansion
modules to add extra points to a Tracer
MP580/581 controller. The expansion
modules communicate with the
controller on an IEEE-485 I/O bus up to
1000 ft (300 m) from the controller. The
EX2 expansion module is available in
two models:
Tracer MP580 on Trane air handlers
The Tracer MP580 controller is available
packaged with the following air handlers:
Door-mounted operator display
The door-mounted operator display
works with any Tracer MP581 or Tracer
AH541 controller. A retrofit kit is
available to add an operator display to an
existing Tracer MP581. The retrofit kit
includes a complete enclosure door with
an operator display mounted in it. The
door-mounted operator display is not
available for factory-mounted Tracer
MP580 controllers.
• M-Series Climate Changer air handlers
• T-Series Climate Changer air handlers
• AireSystems custom air handlers
• EX2 module in a metal enclosure
• EX2 module with a plastic cover
The controller is factory wired to all
sensors, actuators, valves, starters, and
other items shipped with the air handler.
Factory testing of connected points
helps minimize field commissioning
time and expense.
The EX2 models are illustrated in
Tracer MP580/581 controllers and the
expansion modules. Refer to
“Specifications” on page 14 for details
about each type of point.
Stand-alone operator display
The stand-alone operator display is
designed for permanent local
connection to a Tracer MP580/581 or
AH540/541 controller. The stand-alone
operator display includes a 7-day time
clock to provide scheduling for the
associated controller. The 10-foot
(3 meter) connector cable can be
extended up to 150 feet (46 meters).
Frame-mounted Tracer MP581
The frame-mounted Tracer MP581
consists of a circuit board and a
termination board mounted in a two-
piece modular-frame assembly. This
modular design allows the circuit board
to be stored separately while installation
and wiring are completed. The frame-
mounted model can be installed in new
equipment or existing enclosures.

Tracer MP581 with NEMA-1 enclosure
The Tracer MP581 with enclosure
consists of the frame assembly
mounted in an enclosure compliant with
National Electrical Manufacturers
Association (NEMA) type-1 standards. A
line-to-low voltage transformer is
included. The enclosure has a hinged
door and plenty of room for input and
output wiring. The assembly is UL-listed.
Binary
The portable operator display is
designed for temporary connection to a
Tracer MP580/581 or AH540/541
controller. The operator-display touch
screen is mounted in a resin enclosure,
which is placed in a padded, protective
carrying case. A 10-foot (3 meter)
connector cable is included.

Features
Figure 2 on page 5 illustrates the
operator-display models available for
Tracer MP580/581 controllers.
Graphical programming
Interoperability
The Tracer graphical programming (TGP)
editor, shown in Figure 5 on page 7,
eliminates the need for line-by-line
programming. The TGP editor is a
software component of the Trane Rover
service tool. TGP has the following
advantages:
Tracer MP580/581 controllers
communicate by means of the LonTalk
protocol. The controllers can be
Figure 4 shows a typical operator display
screen.
configured to conform to the LonMark®
Space Comfort Controller (SCC) profile
or the Discharge Air Controller (DAC)
profile. You can integrate Tracer MP580/
581 controllers with any control system
that supports these LonTalk protocols
and FTT10-A communications.
Figure 4. Typical status screen
• Easy to learn—programming is as
easy as assembling logic blocks with a
computer mouse, much like creating a
flow chart.
• Powerful—the TGP editor has built-in
PID functions and more than 50 logic
blocks for building programs.
• Self documenting—programs can be
printed and used as pictorial represen-
tations of sequences of operation (see
Security
You can use up to eight security
passwords to limit access to a Tracer
MP580/581 controller.
Use the security passwords to prevent
unauthorized access to:
• TGP programs stored in the controller
• Programs are stored in the controller
along with their graphical representa-
tion, and can be uploaded, viewed,
and re-used.
• Offline programming—configuration
and TGP programming can be done
without connecting to a Tracer
MP580/581 controller.
• Program simulation—programmers
can simulate TGP programs offline.
The programmer can verify, test, and
troubleshoot controller operation at a
remote location, simplifying setup,
maintenance, and service.
• Operator display functions, such as
setpoints and schedules
• Configuration downloads from a
LonTalk service tool
Engineered smoke control
Tracer MP580/581 controllers and EX2
expansion modules can be used to
control an engineered smoke control
system. When used with a fire alarm
control panel (provided by other
suppliers), the smoke-control system
can help protect occupants by
controlling the flow of smoke during a
fire.
For each of the security passwords, you
can choose what can and cannot be
accessed, including specific screens on
the operator display. The controller ships
with security disabled.
In addition to smoke control, with a
firefighter’s control panel, a firefighter
can see the status of smoke control and
implement overrides as required. The
Tracer MP580/581 and EX2 expansion
module are UL-864-UUKL-listed for this
application. For details, see the
Engineered Smoke Control System for
Tracer Summit applications guide, BAS-
APG001-EN.
Operator display
The optional operator-display touch
screen is an intuitive operator interface
for monitoring and changing building
control functions. With the operator
display, you can:
• Monitor space temperature, relative
humidity, and other variables
• Change setpoints and scheduled
occupancy times
• Identify and troubleshoot problems
• View and reset controller alarms
• Manually override outputs
The operator display includes a 7-day
time clock that gives Tracer MP580/581
controllers the ability to manage time-of-
day scheduling, with two on/off times
per day and up to 20 exception
schedules per year.

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
With an operator display, you can
monitor information and make control
changes on a peer-to-peer network.

connections to the Tracer MP581
termination board. The Tracer MP581
termination board uses screw terminals.
The Tracer MP580 termination board
uses 0.25-inch quick-connect terminals.
For wiring within a smoke control
system, see Applications Guide,
Engineered Smoke Control System for
Tracer Summit, BAS-APG001-EN.
