Installation
This section describes how to installTracer UC600 onto a DIN rail and set rotary switches.

Mounting and Removing the Tracer UC600 Controller

TheTracer UC600 controller should be properly mounted on a DIN rail. Enclosure cabinets that
include DIN rails are available fromTrane. See “Additional Ordering Options,” p. 10.
To mount or remove the controller from the DIN rail, follow the illustrated instructions in Figure 4
and Figure 5, p. 14. If using a DIN rail from another manufacturer, follow the recommended
installation procedures that accompany it.
Important: When mounting the controller in a control cabinet, provide adequate spacing
between modules to allow for ventilation and heat dissipation.

NOTICE:
Avoid Equipment Damage!
Do not use excessive force to install the controller on the DIN rail. Excessive force could
result in damage to the enclosure.

 Installation

Setting Addresses using Rotary Switches

There are three rotary switches on the front of theTracer UC600 for the purpose of defining a three-
digit address when it is installed on a BACnet communications network.The three-digit address
setting is used as both the rotary switch value and the BACnet device ID.
ForTrane BACnet MS/TP systems, the rotary switch value must be between 1 and 127. Although
“0,0,0,” is a valid BACnet address,Trane reserves this address for theTracer SC controller. For non-
Trane systems, see “Rotary Dial Address Settings for Non-Trane Systems,” p. 17. All device
addresses on the BACnet MS/TP link must be unique.
• Before powering upTracer UC600, set the rotary switch value as shown in Figure 6.
• If theTracer UC600 was previously powered up, do the following if you wish to make changes:
– Make the preferred changes to the rotary switch value as illustrated in Figure 6.
– Power down theTracer UC600; when re-powered the new rotary switch value should be
active.
• For controllers that are connected through BACnet/IP, or wireless via ZigBee™, valid unit
controller rotary switch values can range from 001 to 999.
Note: Valid rotary switch values used with theTracer UC600 are 001 to 120 for BACnet MS/TP.

Installation

Setting the BACnet Device ID

The BACnet device ID uniquely identifies each BACnet device. It can range from 0 to 4194303.
Device IDs cannot be shared among devices on the same network. EachTracer UC600 operates as
a device and requires its own device ID, which defaults to the rotary switch value settings.
There are three ways that the BACnet device ID can be set on theTracer UC600:
• After powering upTracer UC600 for the first time, theTracer UC600 device ID will match the
rotary switch value.
• When installing aTracer UC600 on aTracer SC, theTracer SC will assign the BACnet device ID
based on theTracer SC rotary address, the link number on which it is installed, and theTracer
UC600 rotary switch value. For example, theTracer SC will create a BACnet device ID of 101030
under the following conditions:
– The rotary dials onTracer UC600 are set to 30 (0,3,0), which is also known as the rotary switch
address.
– TheTracer SC rotary switch value is “0,1,0”.
– TheTracer UC600 is installed on link 1.
• Soft set the BACnet device ID by using theTracerTU service tool or theTracer BACnet Setup
tool.
Important: TheTracer UC600 BACnet device ID defaults to the value of the rotary switches if the
BACnet device ID has not been soft set. If a device ID has been soft set, the rotary
switches are no longer representative of the BACnet device ID.
Note: When integratingTracer UC600 with third party vendors refer toTracer UC600 Protocol
Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS), (BAS-PRG010).

BACnet MS/TP Device ID Assignment

Each unit controller must have a unique BACnet device ID.Tracer SC automates the process by
calculating a unique device ID for each unit controller and then saving the device ID to memory in
each device.
BACnet MS/TP device IDs are calculated using the following three sets of values:
• TheTracer SC rotary switch value (1 to 419)
• TheTracer SC BACnet MS/TP link number (1 to 2)
• The unit controller rotary switch value(1 to 127)
The three values are joined together to form the BACnet device ID for the unit controller.
The following example in Table 3 illustrates this process.

Table 3. Calculating the BACnet device ID

Tracer SC rotary switch value (21) 0 2 1
Tracer SC BACnet MS/TP link number (1) 1
Unit controller rotary switch value (38) 0 3 8
BACnet Device ID: 211038 0 2 1 1 0 3 8

16 BAS-SVX45E-EN
 Installation

Device ID Assignment for BACnet/IP Devices

For devices communicating over BACnet/IP,Tracer SC calculates the device ID using the BACnet
network number for Ethernet 1 and the unit controller rotary switch value. For more details about
Tracer UC600 and the BACnet/IP protocol, see “Appendix A: ConfiguringTracer UC600 for BACnet/
IP,” p. 76
The following example in Table 4 illustrates this process.
Table 4. Calculating the BACnet/IP device ID
BACnet network number Eth port 1 (1) 1
Unit controller rotary switch value (42) 0 4 2
BACnet/IP Device ID: 01042 0 1 0 4 2

Device ID Assignment for Wireless Devices

For devices connecting over a wireless network,Tracer SC calculates the device ID using the
BACnet network number and the rotary switch value of the wireless device.
The following example in Table 5 illustrates this process.
Table 5. Calculating the wireless device ID
BACnet network number of Tracer SC wireless network (13) 1 3
Wireless unit controller rotary switch value (001) 0 0 1
Wireless unit controller Device ID set by Application SC: 13001 1 3 0 0 0 1

Rotary Dial Address Settings for Non-Trane Systems

The Max Master value defines the maximum allowable MAC address (rotary setting) on an MSTP
link.The rotary switch address is present in each device on the MSTP link. When the last
communicating device on the MSTP link polls for the Max Master MAC address with no response,
the token rotation will be restricted on the MSTP link.
For non-Trane systems, the Max Master value must be greater than the unique address settings
from the rotary dials. Although 999 is possible from the dials, the maximum allowed number by
BACnet is 127.
The Max Master is not adjustable inTracer systems. For example, if the rotary switch address is
101 and the front-end system has a Max Master value of 100, the device will not be discovered.
Many systems have a minimum BACnet device ID value. Ensure that the device ID is greater than
this value.

BAS-SVX45E-EN 17
Tracer UC600 Pre-power Checks
To avoid equipment damage, a pre-power check for inputs and outputs is recommended before
applying power to theTracer UC600.
Before applying power, check for the following:
• All thermistors; check for 10K by using a digital multimeter (DMM).
• Thumbwheels; range between 189  and 890 
• Binary outputs; check for any dead shorts.
• Analog outputs; verify that AC voltage is not present and that the load does not have 24 VAC
or 120 VAC.
This section provides illustrations and methods of how to check theTracer UC600 points before
connection has been made and power applied.The step numbers in each illustration correspond
to the information in each table. (Refer to Table 2, p. 9 for a list of device connections.)
Note: The illustrations in the section, “Commissioning/Troubleshooting in a Powered State,” p. 66
show the location of the UC600.

Power Budget Check in an Un-powered State
This section provides information about power budget consumption for the UC600 in an
un-powered state.

Calculating AC Power Consumption

Tracer UC600, along with the 24 VAC transformer, can draw up to 26 VA AC power. Observe the
following rules when calculating AC power:
• EachTracer UC600 can power a maximum of two additional modules (XM30, XM32, WCI);
reserve 8 VA for this application.
• Additional expansion modules require an additional power supply module (PM014).
• EachTracer UC600 can power a maximum of 10 points, configured as 4-20 mA in/out (loop-
powered).
Each of the components in the following table requires a specific amount of power (VA) from the
24 VAC transformer.The following table breaks down the power requirement for each, assuming
that:
• Universal inputs (UI) and universal input/outs (UI/O) draw at most, 20 mA.
• Binary outputs (BO) are not loaded; pilot relays are used.
• Expansion modules will draw full power.

BAS-SVX45E-EN 21
Power Budget Check in an Un-powered State

Calculating DC Power Consumption

The UC600 is capable of providing 600 mA of power. Observe the following rules when budgeting
for DC power:
• The UC600 can power a maximum of two small modules (WCIs, expansion modules) and a
maximum of 10 points configured as 4-20 mA In/Out (loop powered), simultaneously.
• Include any additional devices where the UC600 is providing 24 VDC that are not part of the
current loop.
Use the following table to help determine your DC power supply needs.
Note: If additional 0-20 mA inputs are needed, expansion modules can be powered from a PM014
power supply module instead of the UC600. See the “Tracer Expansion Modules IOM,”
BAS-SVX46-EN, for more details.

Wiring and Powering the Tracer UC600
This section describes how to wire and safely power the UC600.
Important: If problems occur after powering refer to the troubleshooting section,
“Commissioning/Troubleshooting in a Powered State,” p. 66.
Tip: Before powering the UC600, read sections, “Tracer UC600 Pre-power Checks,” p. 18 and
“Power Budget Check in an Un-powered State,” p. 21.

AC Power Warnings and Cautions

WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects, before servicing. Follow proper
lockout and/or tagout procedures to ensure the power cannot be inadvertently energized.
Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in serious injury or death.

 CAUTION
Personal Injury and Equipment Damage!
After installation, verify that the 24 VAC transformer is grounded through the controller. Failure
to do so could result in personal injury and/or damage to equipment. Measure the voltage
between chassis ground and any ground terminal on the controller. Expected result: VAC 4.0 V.
Refer to the section, “Wiring AC Power to Tracer UC600,” p. 25.

Notice:
Equipment Damage!
Complete input/output wiring before applying power to the UC600 controller. Failure to
complete this task may cause damage to the controller or power transformer due to inadvertent
connections to power circuits. The designed units accept only copper conductors. Other types
may cause equipment damage. Do not share 24 VAC between controllers. Sharing 24 VAC power
may cause controller damage (refer to the section, “Transformer Requirements,” p. 24).

Requirements and Recommendations

Wiring and Circuit Requirements
All wiring must comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC)™ and local electrical codes.
To ensure proper operation of theTracer UC600, observe the following guidelines:
• The controller should receive AC power from a dedicated power circuit; failure to comply may
cause the controller to malfunction.
• A dedicated power circuit disconnect switch must be near the controller, easily accessible by
the operator, and marked as the disconnecting device for the controller.
• Do not run AC power wires in the same wire bundle with input/output wires; failure to comply
may cause the controller to malfunction due to electrical noise.
• 18 AWG copper wire is recommended for the circuit between the transformer and the
controller.

BAS-SVX45E-EN 23
Wiring and Powering the Tracer UC600

Transformer Requirements
• AC transformer requirements: UL listed, Class 2 power transformer, 24 VAC ±15%, device max
load 26 VA.The transformer must be sized to provide adequate power to the UC600 controller
(26 VA) and any external device outputs.
• DC power can be used for 4-20 mA devices and up to two expansion modules (XM30, XM32)
and one WCI.
• Include in the total power budget any devices that are powered from the 24 VAC terminal.
• CE-compliant installations:The transformer must be CE marked and SELV compliant per IEC
standards.

Avoid Equipment Damage!

Sharing 24 VAC power between controllers could cause equipment damage.

A separate transformer is recommended for each controller.The line input to the transformer must
be equipped with a circuit breaker sized to manage the maximum transformer line current.
If a single transformer is shared by multiple UC600 controllers:
• The transformer must have sufficient capacity.
• Polarity must be maintained for every UC600 controller powered by the transformer
Important: If polarity is inadvertently reversed between controllers that are powered by the
same transformer, a difference of 24 VAC will occur between the grounds of each
controller.The following symptoms could result:
–Partial or full loss of communication on the entire BACnet MS/TP link.
–Improper function of UC600 controller outputs.
–Damage to the transformer or a blown transformer fuse.

Terminal Connectors and Tug Test

When wiring to the UC600 using terminal connectors, strip the wires to expose 1/4 in. (7 mm) of
bare wire. Insert each wire into a terminal connector and tighten the terminal screw. A tug test is
recommended after tightening terminal screws to ensure all wires are secure.

 Wiring and Powering the Tracer UC600

Wiring AC Power to Tracer UC600

1. Connect both secondary wires from the 24 Vac transformer to the XFMR terminals on the
device.
2. Ensure the device is properly grounded.
Important: This device must be grounded for proper operation! The factory-supplied
ground wire must be connected from any chassis ground connection on the device
to an appropriate earth ground ( ).The chassis ground connection used may be the
24 Vac transformer input at the device, or any other chassis ground connection on

 Tracer UC600 Operation

Troubleshooting
The section provides troubleshooting solutions for problems that sometimes occur with theTracer
UC600.

Communication Problems
Problem:Tracer UC600 is not communicating withTracer SC, but can communicate withTracerTU
using a direct USB connection.
Possible cause:The “Soft Set Device ID” check box was unchecked after theTracer UC600 was
installed onto theTracer SC.
Possible solution: Reinstall theTracer UC600 device onto theTracer SC.
1. Verify that theTracer UC600 device ID is set to the rotary address, which is found inTracerTU/
controller/controller settings/protocol.
2. Log on toTracer SC and navigate to the Devices page; select theTracer UC600 device from the
list, then select replace from the actions button.
Alternative cause:The baud rate changed in the controller settings.
Solution: InTracerTU, open the Controller Settings page. Set the baud rate to match the baud rate
on theTracer SC MS/TP link.
Alternate Cause:The rotary switch is not set properly or another device on the same MS/TP link
is set to the same rotary address.
Solution: Verify that the rotary address is correct. If not, change the address and cycle power. If the
device was previously installed in theTracer SC, the device may need to be "replaced" from the
Tracer SC Devices page.
Alternate Solution: If the device is set to the proper rotary address, then another device(s) could
be using the same rotary address on the MS/TP link.
1. Power down the UC600 and discover the link withTracer SC to see if a duplicate device is
present.
2. Change address of duplicate device, then reapply power theTracer UC600.
If previously installed, the device may need to be replaced in theTracer SC.

Output Points
Problem: Output points are not being controlled by theTracer UC600.
Possible cause:The output point was not configured properly inTracerTU.
Solution: Verify the hardware configuration inTracerTU and change as needed.
Problem:The value of an analog point reads correctly inTracerTU but does not read correctly in
theTracer SC.
Solution:Verify that the dimensionality was set properly on the point configuration page ofTU. Log
on toTracer SC and navigate to the Devices page; select theTracer UC600 device from the list, then
select replace from the actions button.
Alternate solution: Verify that the equipment template is pointing to the proper output point in the
Tracer UC600.
Problem:The output point is out of service.
Solution: Place point in service from eitherTracerTU orTracer SC.

BAS-SVX45E-EN 39

Placing Points in Out-of-Service Mode

Inputs/Outputs
The out-of-service mode disconnects the point from its reference, which has the following effect
on input and output points:
Inputs
An input point no longer obtains the value from its reference; however, you are allowed to write
a value to the point.This is primarily used for testing purposes.
Outputs
An outpoint point will not push (write) its value to its output reference.The value of the point can
be changed without affecting the referenced value.
Note: This will require the use of the priority table.

Values
Value objects will not accept a written value from applications on the controller, such asTGP2 or
schedules. A remote application, such asTracerTU orTracer SC, allows you to write to a value
object when out-of-service.
Note: This will require the use of the priority table.

Creating Points to Monitor Communication and TGP2 Programs

Multistate points can be created to monitor expansion module (XM) communication,Tracer SC
communication, andTGP2 programs as well as program states and results. When multistate input
points are created that reference these properties,TracerTU will automatically define the number
of states and the state text, based on the selected property.
Note: TracerTU Version 8.1 andTracer UC600 Version 3.34 and higher are required for this
functionality.
To create points for XM communication loss:

Setting Up and Maintaining Schedules

Tracer UC600 supports three types of schedules: analog, binary, and multistate. Schedules can be
set up and maintained inTracerTU and theTracerTD7 Display (see “TracerTD7 Display,
Installation, Operation, and Maintenance, “BAS-SVX50”).
Schedules are based on a series of “events” that occur on each day of the week. An event is a
change in a value at a specific time that can occur during any day of the week.
Each day is independent of the others and always begins with the schedule default value.The
schedule default value is applied to each day of the week and is the value that the schedule defaults
to at 12:00 a.m. for any given day. In addition to the schedule default, a maximum of ten unique
events can be defined for each day of week.
Note: Scheduling requires installation ofTracer UC600 version 3.0 or higher firmware.

Creating a Weekly Schedule

1. Open a session ofTracerTU.
2. Select Utilities > Equipment > Scheduling.
3. Expand one of the unused Schedule boxes.
4. Click the Edit icon on the right of the Schedule box to activate the Name and Description
fields (Figure 30).

TheType and Dimensionality boxes will be populated based on the selections you make in the
Members group box.
6. Expand the Members group box and select the PointType (Analog, Binary, or Multistate) from
the PointType drop-down list.
The point list is filtered to exclude all points other than the selected type. All members must be
the same type.
If you selected analog as the point type, specify a dimensionality from the drop-down list
(Figure 31). All analog members must have the same dimensionality.

Figure 31. Specifying member dimensionality

7. Use the arrow controls to select up to 10 members by transferring points from the All Points
box to the Selected Points box (Figure 32).
The first member added will filter the remaining list of available members to display only
members with the same point type and units.

8. Click Send to Device to save the schedule. If working offline, click Save to File, which will save
the schedule to the configuration file.

56 BAS-SVX45E-EN
 Configuring Tracer UC600 with Tracer TU

Changing the Schedule Default Value and Adding Events

After creating a schedule and selecting the members, the next step is to determine the schedule
default value and add weekly events. An event is defined as a time-value pair.

About the Schedule Default Value

• The default value is the relinquish default value of the first specified member. However,
changing this value affects only the schedule. It does not affect the Relinquish Default value
specified in that member’s point configuration.
• The default value can be changed. (Changing the default value does not affect the actual
configured default value of the point.)
• The default value goes into effect each day at 12:00:00 a.m, provided that no other event takes
control at that time. It remains in effect until the first event occurs.
• If the schedule members are multistate points, the states of the first selected member are used
for all members.You can select a default value from these states from the drop-down list.

Changing the Schedule Default Value

1. Open the schedule that in which you want to make changes.
When a schedule is created, the only event in the schedule is the schedule default value.This
value occurs every day at midnight and cannot be removed. If the schedule default value is
edited, the value applies to each day in the schedule.
2. From the Default Value drop-down list select a different value.
3. Click Go.The new value is applied to the schedule.

Adding Events
1. From the Actions drop-down list, select Add Event then click Go to display the Events dialog
box (Figure 34).
Events for a particular day can be viewed by selecting the day of the week at the top of the Add
Events dialog box (Figure 35).

2. Follow the steps in the dialog box to add events to one or more days at a time. (Events are
defined as time-value pairs.)
a. Select the day or days that share the event.
b. Set the start time and value.
c. Click Add Events to add the events to the schedule for the days selected.
Note: Verify that the events are current for each day by selecting the day of the week at the top
of the Add Events dialog box.

3. Repeat the above steps to add up to 10 events for each day of the week. Click OK to return to
the Schedules page.
To modify events on a particular day:
Select a day in the EventTable from the Add Event dialog box. Use the arrow buttons to change
the value.The new value is automatically saved.
To delete an event:
Select a day in the EventTable from the Add Event dialog box. Click the Delete button, which
removes the event from the schedule for that particular day.

Adding Exceptions to a Schedule

After you have created a schedule and have added events, you can add exceptions for holidays and
other special events. Each exception can also contain up to ten (10) of its own events.The UC600
can support up to 25 exceptions in a single schedule. However, it is not recommended to place more
than one exception on a single day.
Exceptions contain their own set of events. Exceptions can be:
• Configured for a single date or to recur on a user-defined recurrence pattern such as the third
Thursday of the month.
• Stacked on a single day, with the newest defined exception having the higher rank.
There are two main purposes for exceptions:
• To override an entire day.
• To extend or change a schedule's events over a normal daily schedule.
For a exceptions that last an entire day, you should define an exception event at midnight.The
exception then takes control of the normal daily events for the entire day.

BAS-SVX45E-EN 59
Configuring Tracer UC600 with Tracer TU

To add exceptions:
1. Open the schedule to which you want to add exceptions.
2. From the Actions drop-down list Select Add Exceptions. Click Go to display the Add Exceptions
dialog box (Figure 36). (Or access from the Exception list page).

Figure 36. Adding exceptions

3. Select Does Not Recur for a one-time exception and then select the specific date in the Occurs
on Date fly-out calendar on the right. Otherwise, select Monthly or Yearly recurrence options
and specify the appropriate recurrence pattern on the right.
Note: Exceptions that occur on the same date each year, such as Christmas Day and NewYear’s
Day, are examples of exceptions that should be set as recurring.
4. Enter the StartTime and Value. A second event can be added by selecting the corresponding
check box.
5. Click Add Event(s).
The event(s) appear in the Exceptions list at the bottom of the dialog box.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to add more events for an exception. Up to 10 events can be added.
7. Click OK when you have finished adding all exceptions and events.
Note: It is best practice to add an event at midnight to ensure that the exception is in control of
the events for the entire day.

Graphics Best Practices

Individual graphic files cannot exceed 2 megabytes (Mbs). Files that exceed 2 Mbs will cause slow
controller performance and increased graphic loading times.
Observe the following best practices:
• Use a program such as Microsoft Paint to save graphics using the following recommended
formats: png, jpg, or gif. File formats such as bitmap (bmp) result in much larger files sizes.
• Open the image using Microsoft Paint, and resize the image to smaller dimensions.
• If the image file was created by Centralized Graphics or another graphics specialist, request a
new image with a file size under 2 Mb.
Note: Verify that the image quality is acceptable after saving in one of the recommended
formats. JPG and GIF file formats use image compression which can reduce the quality
of the image.

Open-collector based binary sensors use a bipolar junction transistor (BJT).This is a three-
terminal device in which emitter-to-collector current is controlled by base current as the
switching device in place of a relay.The term, open-collector, refers to the collector connection
on the transistor itself. Open-collector circuits are used for their low fatigue rate and quick
response relative to relay-based outputs.
The circuit within the pulse meter is completed when adding a pull-up resistance and reference
voltage. On the UC600, both universal input (UI) and analog output (AO) circuits add the
necessary resistance and voltage without external parts.
Note: The reference voltage must always be DC.
The voltage across the pulse meter terminals will bounce between Vsat (saturation voltage) of
the transistor in the pulse meter and theVref (reference voltage) provided by the UI or AO circuits
of the UC600. Most bipolar transistors have a Vsat of less than 0.2 Vdc.

Appendix A: Configuring Tracer UC600 for BACnet/IP
Tracer UC600 controllers with firmware versions 5.0 or higher now support the BACnet/IP protocol.
This appendix providesTracer UC600 configuration information to enable communication using
the BACnet/IP protocol.

Device ID Assignment for Trane BACnet/IP Devices

Each unit controller must have a unique BACnet device ID.Tracer SC automates the device ID
assignment process forTrane unit controllers by calculating a unique device ID for each unit
controller and then saving the device ID to memory in each device.
Manual configuration (soft set) of the BACnet device ID requires the use ofTracerTU or the free
Tracer BACnet Setup tool. See “ConfiguringTracer UC600,” p. 46.
For devices communicating over BACnet/IP, Tracer SC calculates the device ID using the BACnet
network number defined for Ethernet port 1 and the unit controller rotary switch value.TheTracer
SC rotary switch value is not used in the device ID calculation for IP devices.
BACnet/IP device IDs are calculated using the following two sets of values:
• The BACnet network number Ethernet port number 1
– Tracer SC defaults the BACnet IP network number as 1, and under most circumstances it is
not changed.
• The unit controller rotary switch value (1 to 999)
The values are joined together to form the BACnet device ID for the unit controller.
The following example in Table 13 illustrates this process.
Table 13. Calculating the BACnet/IP device ID
BACnet network number Eth port 1 (1) 1
Unit controller rotary switch value (42) 0 4 2
BACnet/IP Device ID: 01042 0 1 0 4 2

Ethernet Network Wiring Specifications

The Ethernet port supports 10BaseT and 100BaseT Ethernet networks and requires Cat5, Cat5e, or
Cat6 rated communication wire.The maximum rated distance between nodes on the network is
328 ft (100 m).The minimum distance between two devices is 1.64 ft (0.5 m).
Note: Cable installations must comply with both federal and local codes. Plenum-rated cable is
available to meet NEC Article 725, which addresses flame resistance and smoke emission
for signal cables
Important: Due to the high precision required when performing Ethernet wire terminations,
Trane recommends that only qualified technicians with the proper equipment
handle all terminations and splicing.

BACnet/IP Network Configuration on the Tracer SC

Important: IP configuration must be completed before device discovery and installation.
Tracer UC600 supports BACnet BBMD functionality. If theTracer UC600 is not located on the same
IP subnet as theTracer SC, BACnet BBMD functionality must be enabled on the IP network.
The BACnet network number onTracer SC Ethernet port defaults to 1 and should be suitable for
most installations.The BACnet configuration tab of theTracer SC user interface can be used to
change the default BACnet network number if needed. For more information, see the “Tracer SC
IOM,” BAS-SVX31.

 Appendix A: Configuring Tracer UC600 for BACnet/IP

Setting Up a BDT
The BACnet protocol requires the use of IP broadcast messages. IP routers do not pass broadcast
messages from one subnet to another. BACnet BBMD functionality is used to forward broadcast
messages across IP routers to BACnet devices on the remote subnet. BBMDs are not required if all
BACnet/IP devices reside on the same subnet.
A broadcast distribution table (BDT) is part of the BBMD functionality. A BDT contains the list of IP
addresses that identify each BBMD in the BACnet network. All BBMDs should have exactly the
same entries in their BDT and must include their own IP address.
Important: Only one BBMD per IP subnet is allowed.
To set up a BDT for Tracer UC600:
1. Start a session ofTracerTU.
2. Navigate to Utilities > Status > Controller Settings.The Controller Settings utility opens.
3. Click Protocol to display a list of protocols that the UC600 uses to communicate with other
controllers. Select the Controller is a BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD) check
box. (See Figure 47.)

Figure 47. Setting up a BBMD and BDT

4. Click Add BBMD.

5. In the provided fields, enter the IP address of the BBMD device on the remote network.
6. Repeat the BBMD assignment process for all BBMD devices in the BACnet network.
7. Click Test Communication to verify.

Security
Tracer UC600 network security can be enhanced by limiting user access over the IP network,
restricting access to HTTPS only, and disabling the user interface through a Web browser.The
customer’s IT staff should be consulted when setting up enhanced security.

Local Network (Firewall) Security

Trane controllers do not have built in firewalls and, therefore, rely on the network security
infrastructure for protection.Trane recommends placing all IP-enabled devices behind the
corporate firewall. When properly configured, firewalls will improve network security.

BAS-SVX45E-EN 81
Appendix A: Configuring Tracer UC600 for BACnet/IP

Disable HTTP Communications

HTTP is used forTracerTU network connections and future UC600 BACnet/IP display options.
TracerTU can also connect directly through the USB port, with aTracer SC, or anotherTracer UC600
on the IP network.
For added security, HTTP Port 80 should be disabled if other connection options are viable (see
Figure 45, p. 80).This will prevent others from accessing theTracer UC600 with a Web browser or
other HTTP applications. HTTP Port 80 is disabled with theTracerTU service tool as described in
“Configuring IP Information,” p. 79.

Disable Tracer UC600 User Interface (TD7)

If directTracerTU network addressing is needed, then access to the user interface through a Web
browser should be disabled. (See Figure 45, p. 80).This is done with theTracerTU service tool as
described in “Configuring IP Information,” p. 79.
Note: At this time theTracerTD7 display option is not available when connecting with the BACnet/
IP protocol.This option will be available in a futureTracer UC600 firmware upgrade.
