iSMA-B-MAC36NL-250
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?
 
 
What Niagara version is needed to connect to this controller?
 
What should I do if I need to use Niagara 4.4.92.2?
%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:
