About the product

The iSMA-B-MAC36NL is Niagara controller with 36 onboard IO and license of 250 points and one RS485 port. If more points are needed then you can upgrade in 50 points increment.

The MAC (Master Application Controller) with built-in different types of I/O and operating in the Niagara Framework environment. Using the specific local I/O set 16x UI, 8x AO, 4xDI and 8x DO allow to use the device in different applications. The controller provides control, data logging, alarming, scheduling, integration and visualisation.

To allow IP connectivity there are 2x Fast Ethernet ports which can operate as two independent ports. Built-in 1x RS485 can be used to expand number of I/O by connecting MINI or MIX series I/O modules or to integrate with other subsystems.
iSMA-B-MAC36NL provides rich graphical interface displaying on a standard Web browser or on external display connected to built-in HDMI and USB port (touch-screen support).
There are two more hardware versions of the controller with the second RS485 port and M-Bus interface available.

      Product Informations

       

      What is the default IP of the device?

      The default IP is : 192.168.1.123.

       

       

      What Niagara version is needed to connect to this controller?

      At the moment the default Niagara version is N4.4 (4.4.73.24).

       

      What should I do if I need to use Niagara 4.4.92.2?

      To install dist you can either copy the DIST FILES to your 
      %HOMEPATH%\Niagara4.4\sw\inbox folder and use commisioning wizard, or use Platform‚ÜíDistribution File Installer, choose file and install.

       

      What should I do if I need to use Niagara 4.6, 4.7 or 4.8?

       Please download the latest update files HERE, into the zipfile, which contains the DIST files for version 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8. You will find a file named “iSMA_MAC36_files_installer_v1.0.1152.bat”, this will copy for you all the DIST files into the relevant folders. After this procedure you will need to restart the Workplace and commission your MAC36NL with the 4.6, 4.7 or 4.8 version.

      If you need to upgrade to 4.8 and the controller is already running on lower versions (4.4, 4.6 or 4.7) the first step you will need to do is to clean the controller by installing the CleanDist file using the Distribution File Installer from the controller's platform and after that commission the MAC36NL controller with the 4.8.

       

      What are the improvements for the MAC36NL with Niagara 4.6 and 4.7?

      With the release of N4.6 and N4.7 for the MAC36NL you some new features:

       - BACnet MSTP                                  - HDMI
       - Data Recovery Service                     -  Web Service Port Fix
      Please see read the Release Notes.

       






      What are the default platform Credentials?

      The default credentials are the same as to the Tridium controllers:

       

      User: tridium

      Password:niagara

       

      What communication networks are available?

      In this stage the Networks that work are:

       

      - Modbus RS485

      - Modbus TCP

      - BACnet TCP

      - BACnet MSTP available for version N4.6 and N4.7.

      - Mbus TCP

      - Niagara Network

       

      What features are implemented into this controller compared to the Tridium Jace?

      The iSMA has the same features as a Tridium N4 controller:

       

      -Alarm

      -Histories

      -PX pages (web User Interface pages) HTML 5 web viewing

      -Communication with Niagara controllers and Supervisors through Niagara Network

       

      When commissioning I see this message: there is no Core software found that can be installed, what should I do?

      The core software is installed from the factoryfor version 4.4.73, you just need to press Next.

       

      After using the commissioning wizard to install the Station and modules, I can see into the Application Directory that there are errors regarding the Web Server and I cannot access the controller from the webpage. How do I resolve that error and access the controller through the web page?

      At this stage the Web server works with the TCP port above 1024, so you will need to go and change the HTTP and HTTPs ports to be above 1024 (ex: HTTP port - 8080, HTTPs port 8443). After setting this up please restart the station. This issue was resolved in N4.6 and N4.7 release.

       

      How does the Local IOs work?

      The Local IO driver it is still at an early stage and you will need to Download the Jar file. Put it into the Modules folder and restart the Workbench. Go and find the iSMA IO into the Palette.
      Into the Drivers add from the iSMA_IO Palette the iSMA IO Network, after that open the Property Sheet of the Drivers to see the recently added Network. Under it add the Local IO Device and under that add the points from the palette.

       

      How do I change the Universal Input type?

      Open the property sheet of the UI and you will see the Input type property, by default it is set to Voltage.

       

      How do I change the Analog Output type?

      Open the property sheet of the AO and you will see the Output type property, by default it is set to Voltage.

       

      How can I use the HDMI function?

      After you have commissioned the controller on your N4.6 or N4.7  and install the iSMA_HDMI jar file, copy the HDMI service from the iSMA_HDMI pallette to the Service folder and you will need to go to the WEB service and activate the HTTP port and disable HTTPS Only. After you make those settings please reboot the controller.
