of complexity of the PX pages built is related to the responsiveness of local service. You have
to keep in mind that this is not a PC with a web browser but only the controller and you can
’
t
expect that the navigation will be as fast as in a PC with many cores and a powerful RAM. The
more complex the graphics, the longer it can take to go between the pages, and therefore we
recommend to provide smooth navigation to use 15-20 graphic widgets and 2-3 gif
animations and lower resolution than the default (e.g. 1024x576px with
“r
atio
fit”
scaling for
full screen). The default resolution of the pages is 1280x720px due to the resolution for the
HDMI port.
Note: Web browser works only with HTTP, therefore it is necessary to enable HTTP support in
Station/Config/Services/WebService - by default it is disabled.

Update to Support HDMI Port
Preparation for using the HMI panel:
•
Download the update from the GC5 support site, which allows you to support HMI views
via HDMI port and is run to install the required files and modules for the appropriate
version of Niagara 4.4, 4.6, 4.7, and 4.8.
Note: The Niagara version below 4.6 will not support the HDMI port.
•
Perform the update on the iSMA-B-MAC36NL controller using the Commissioning Wizard
procedure to support HDMI port.
The iSMA_HDMI module is not installed by default on the iSMA-B-MAC36NL platform. It needs
to be installed during the commissioning or by using the Software Manager tool under the
platform component.
The iSMA_HDMI module has been created to service, configure and maintain the HDMI
connection in the iSMA-B-MAC36NL.
