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

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.
