| How
does the APOGEE system work for you? |
| APOGEE system software
provides you system-wide control and information about your building
operations - what is going on now, and trends over time. Information
is accessible anywhere, any time, and any place to authorized users,
through intuitive graphical user interfaces. Users can monitor areas
to run according to parameters they set, send alarms if conditions
require immediate attention, and send reports about conditions over
time. APOGEE system controllers provide the traffic centers of
the building system, performing the communication and programmed
minute-by-minute control routines between your floor-level end
devices and controllers and system software. Designed for tremendous
flexibility and modularity, they can be easily adapted to suit
your constantly changing requirements.
End Devices and Controllers provide many thousands of options
for reliable, front-line control of every square foot of you building.
Systems Integration enables you connect your systems in ways
that maximize performance and interoperability. Your system can
communicate with different protocols including BACnet OPC, LonWorks,
Modbus and TCP/IP, and hundreds of other systems. And you won't
see the difference between third party and traditional building
control points from your Insight workstation

| Systems
Integration£º |
Communicate with
hundreds of other building systems, devices, controllers and networks,
available from hundreds of different third- party suppliers.
Multiple options for integration to third-party systems, including:
Direct connect FLN and Lon FLN solutions
Building level drivers via the MBC Open Processor
Management level integration via the Insight workstation
Integrated points look and control just like native APOGEE Building
Automation System points and can utilize the full range of APOGEE
facility management applications and remote communication options.
Proven track record of thousands of successful integration project
implementations. Look for the APOGEE Anywhere(tm) trademark to
assure APOGEE compatibility.
