Rover service tool overview<br />
The Rover service tool is the setup and configuration tool for the <strong>Tracer</strong><br />
MP580/581. It is analogous to PCM Edit for the PCM and UPCM Edit for<br />
the UPCM. For more information about the Rover service tool, see the<br />
Rover Operation and <strong>Programming</strong> guide (EMTX-SVX01B-EN).<br />

<strong>Tracer</strong> MP580/581 plug-in. The plug-in is a software file that Rover<br />
requires to display information and set up configuration for the controller.<br />
The plug-in also contains extensive online Help to help you access and<br />
change controller information.<br />
The <strong>Tracer</strong> MP580/581 plug-in can be run with Rover Version 3 and<br />
higher. You cannot run the <strong>Tracer</strong> MP580/581 plug-in with an earlier version<br />
of Rover. Updated versions of the <strong>Tracer</strong> MP580/581 plug-in may be<br />
released independently from the Rover software. Contact your local sales<br />
office for the latest versions of the Rover device plug-ins.<br />
About the <strong>Tracer</strong> MP580/581 controller<br />
The <strong>Tracer</strong> MP581 programmable controller is a general-purpose input<br />
and output device. The controller provides direct digital control of a variety<br />
of HVAC equipment.<br />
The <strong>Tracer</strong> MP580 is factory-installed on Modular Climate Changer,<br />
T-Series, and M-Series air handlers. The controller is factory wired to all<br />
sensors, actuators, valves, starters, and other items shipped with the air<br />
handler.<br />
Use this guide as a tutorial to set up and write graphical programs to control<br />
the <strong>Tracer</strong> MP580/581 programmable controller.<br />
