Did you know that when integrating an Apogee system with our product you can choose any BACnet compatible BMS, including Desigo CC?

You can do it without upgrading panels to PXCs and without converting the PXCs to BACnet.

BACnetP2 enables a Desigo CC upgrade while eliminating much of the cost and delay usually involved.

There are 3 major paths to getting a new BMS if you have Insight, and using BACnetP2 is the most cost effective and affordable.

PSA 📢 (PurpleSwift Announcement): Don't let the Insight PC die before integrating the system with BACnet. The graphics on the Insight PC are the road map to replicating the functioning P2 system onto a new BMS.

Unless you have a backup of the Insight PC that you can restore and work from, it may be too late.

Integrate with PurpleSwift's BACnetP2 before it is too late.

We previously announced that we had added a SiteInfo Report analysis tool. Here is a little more info!
This tool assists in estimating the work involved for completing Apogee P2 integration.
Run the tool and it will generate a report. The various counts are there to assist you with estimating the work involved.
For example:
“Graphics pages found” = Number of GUI pages required.
“Graphics points found” = Number of data points to be added and tested.
“Virtual points required” = Number of new Apogee points to be created.
“PPCL edits required” = Number of Apogee programs to be edited.

We have a new tool, a SiteInfo Report analysis tool.

This assists in estimating the work involved for completing Apogee P2 integration.

Get a SiteInfo Report and give it a try!
