Trane Tracer 100 (UTT)
OPC Server Data Sheet

Devices Supported: Trane Tracer 100 running Version 10.1 software
Device Manufacturer: Trane
Profile Name: TraneTracer100.PRO
Profile Built For: UOS
Platform: Windows NT4.0 / 2000 / XP
Interface Type: RS-232 (Computer comm port)
Max Devices Supported: One per computer comm port
Protocol: Proprietary Trane Tracer 100 Protocol
Comment: UTT is comprised of the Universal OPC Server (UOS) and the TraneTracer100.PRO device profile. The UTT mnemonic is used to identify this unique combination. UOS will also support many other devices that use serial or TCP/IP communications. Please refer to our web site for the current list.
UOS is a stand-alone OPC Server that can be used with any OPC compliant Client such as Intellution’s FIX® or FIX Dynamics® or OA’s Enterprise Automation software. UOS has many advanced features like: DataView, DataScope, Serial and TCP/IP communications support, and multiple "different" device support. Please refer to our web site for more information on UOS capabilities.

Introduction
This document provides general information on the device commands supported by UOS and the TraneTracer100.PRO profile. If you have installed UOS, you should also review the sections titled About the I/O Driver, How Do I…, Setting up The I/O Driver, and Using the PowerTool in the UOS electronic documentation. To get there, click on Help and Help Topics in the PowerTool menu bar. The PowerTool is a client application with a graphical user interface that accesses the UOS OPC Server and lets you view and modify communications channel, device, and datablock properties.
 
Device Commands Supported
The device commands supported are shown in Table 1. They are described in reference to the profile command group that contains them. A "profile command group" is a group of related commands. Usually it consists of an I/O Device READ/WRITE command pair. However the command group can contain only a device READ command, only a device WRITE command, or more than one device READ/WRITE pair. This depends on the protocol of the I/O Device to which the command is directed.
 
Table 1 - Device Commands Supported by the TraneTracer100.PRO Profile

Profile Command Group Name

Description

Connect Used to initialize the Trane Tracer 100
PT18-UCMAnalogInput Reads a single UCM Analog Input (Point Type 18)
PT18-BlockRead Use this command group to read a block of 15 UCM Analog Input points (Point Type 18). You can read any block of 15 Point Type 18 values. To save communications overhead, it is NOT required to have consecutive point numbers in the data block.
PT19-UCMBinaryInput Use this command group to read a single UCM Binary Input (Point Type 19)
PT11-CalAnalog_RO Use this command group to read a single Calculated Analog point (Point Type 11)
PT11-CalAnalog_RW Use this command group to read and write a single Calculated Analog point (Point Type 11
PT11-BlockRead Use this command group to read a block of 15 Calculated Analog points (Point Type 11). To save communications overhead, it is NOT required to have consecutive point numbers.
PT08-CalBinary_RO Use this command group to read a single Calculated Binary point (Point Type 8)
PT08-CalBinary_RW Use this command group to read and write a single Calculated Binary point (Point Type 8)
