Your building automation system should evolve along with your facility. Just as many organizations follow a regular replacement cycle for computer hardware, building automation systems also benefit from planned upgrades to maintain performance, reliability, and compatibility with newer technologies.

If your building is operating on a Tracer Summit system, it is important to understand that these controllers were moved to legacy status in 2014. While Trane may continue to support these systems as long as parts remain available, the controllers are no longer in production.
A recommended upgrade path for Tracer Summit systems is to begin by replacing the BCU(s) with Tracer SC, followed by replacing proprietary unit controllers with BACnet MS/TP open-protocol controllers. Upgrading the system backbone to Tracer SC allows your facility to take a phased, strategic approach to BAS modernization while minimizing disruption.
In addition, many older BAS installations rely on LON technology and legacy field devices that are also aging and becoming increasingly difficult to support. As these components continue to age, building owners may face greater challenges with parts availability, serviceability, system compatibility, and technician familiarity. Older LON-based equipment can also limit your ability to integrate newer technologies, expand system functionality, and take full advantage of current analytics, controls, and connectivity solutions.

Keeping BAS systems current is an important reason to upgrade and stay current to maintain strong cyber security protections and reduce exposure to evolving cyber threats.
Upgrades help position your facility to benefit from ongoing technology advancements while improving operational performance and preparing for future needs.
BAS upgrades should be viewed as a routine part of your building life cycle strategy. Much like other capital improvements, proactive upgrades can help reduce rising maintenance costs, improve system dependability, and support greater efficiency over time. Investing in your BAS today helps support the long-term performance, flexibility, and sustainability of your facility.

Ensuring that your BAS is up-to-date and operating on the latest software is critical to protecting your investment. Upgrading your building automation infrastructure allows you to take advantage of technology changes and prepares you for the next generation of improvements. Upgrading your BAS should be considered routine maintenance and part of your building life cycle plan—just like home maintenance. Over time, maintenance costs rise, and replacement becomes more cost-effective. Similarly, upgrading your BAS is an investment into the future efficiency and longevity of your building.
