A. INTRODUCTION
This version of the SMC software can be used for monitoring, trouble shooting, and
communication set up. With this tool, you have real-time access to C-TRAC3 control variables
and status information.
Three types of service platforms can be used to access the C-TRAC3; a laptop computer, a
Palm® ® handheld PDA and a pocket PC PDA. To support these platforms, there are three
versions of the SMC software.
All three versions of the SMC software provide the same style interface. Navigating buttons are
provided for easy intuitive access to all pages.
SMC performs the following tasks:
· Real-time monitoring of C-TRAC3 sensors, alarms and operating status.
· Data trending for key variables.
· Program set up and equipment commissioning.
· Service and troubleshooting functions.
· Communications set up.

History function
Due to memory limitations, the C-TRAC3 has a limited history function. Instead of
providing traditional trending data, the C-TRAC3 sets up time windows and records the
minimum and maximum values measured in that time window. Note if any changes are made
to the history configuration page, the configuration data is only stored when the reset/send button
is pressed. If the reset/send button is not pressed, any changes made will be lost.
Variable selection
To select a variable to trend, simply check the check box beside that variable name. Up
to 4 variables can be selected from a pre-defined list of 8 variables.
Window Size
The window size can be altered in 30 second “step” increments. If you enter 8 then the
window time interval = 8 * ½ min. = 4 minutes.
There are two history data recording styles. One is to continue recording (rewrite) and
stop at alarms (default setting). With this style, the newest window records overwrite the oldest
window records. The other is to start recording history from the moment you clear the buffer or
the moment you power the C-TRAC3. The recording will stop when the history record buffer is
full or at the alarms.
Reset / send button
Push this button, to clear the history
record and to save any history configuration
changes.
The Hist View page
The minimum and maximum values
are recorded for each of the variables selected
on the history set up page. The time frame
between windows is as set on the history set
up page. Window # 0 is the always most
recent data. Window #1 is a little older and so on. While viewing the data the C-TRAC3 is not
updating the display. If you want to update the display you need to click the update this page
button. If the unit is off or there is an alarm, the C-TRAC3 will stop recording.

6. The Calibration Page

You need a second level password to access this page. This page is used for calibrating
sensors, set point signals, and 0-10 vdc control signals. This page also sets room temperature
control parameters such as integration time, proportional band, night set back and night set up
values.

15
 SMCv3.3.1 SOFTWARE MANUAL 2006

This column is read only. These values

are calculated using the actual reading +
calibration off set. After calibration, the
send button must be pushed.

Room reset integral rate (minutes /

degree): “5”, means the Discharge air set
point will ramp up/down 1° degree every
5 minutes. The range is from 8 to 40 min.
/ degree.

Room proportional band, The setting

range is 3 to 13 °F

Night set back (SB), deduct this number

from the room thermostat set point. Night
set up (Set UP), add this number to the
room thermostat set point.

Calibration offset
The program has an internal fixed Max/Min calibration offset limit. If you input a
number higher than the offset limit, the number will be reduced back to the Maximum or
Minimum offset value. For the BMS, Y Terminal the offset value will accept a number with one
decimal place.

7. The Override Page

Some C-TRAC3 data and operating
parameters can be overridden using the override page.
When determining who has control of the set points
etc, the C-TRAC3 follows this priority list ranked
from highest to lowest.
1. PDA
2. Serial communication from a central EMS
computer.
3. 0-10 vdc reset signal from a central building
computer.
4. Remote pots
5. Built in pots.

16
