1. Points from Siemens Apogee systems are read and written to and from
EcoStuxure points via eDrive and SmartConnector endpoint.
Result: Customer benefits from new features of EcoStruxure Building user
interface without the initial expense of total Siemens controller hardware

3. Points from multiple data center CRAC units and PDU’s are polled using SNMP Get
requests then mapped to native EcoStuxure Building point objects via web services.
Result: Meter data is collected by eDrive and made available to Building Analytics
Service on demand via simple web service request.
Result: Data center critical equipment point values are displayed and monitored
by the EcoStruxure Building system at no additional hardware costs.
