1.5 Information about the software license
This product is licensed. The iSMA-B-MAC36NL driver is licensed for iSMA-B-LIB-GRAPH as
standard. The license is in the format of an additional GC5.lic file available on the Niagara
Central server. If there is no license, after adding a component to the PX worksheet, the
following watermark will appear on the component only in the web browser. The
components in the Workbench looks as usual.

2 Description of the pallet
Most graphics objects have light shadows, so the palette is dedicated to dark background,
and looks best with black backgrounds. When using iSMA-B-LIB-GRAPH, remember that the
PX file on which graphic components are placed must have the Scale property set to Ratio
Fit for another resolution then default (for full screen mode). For default resolution can be
set as Ratio Fit or None.
The whole pallet is divided into folders structure, which is described according to the
nomenclature and order given in the following subsections.
2.1 Airflow
Figure 2 - sample graphic components from the Airflow folder
The Airflow folder contains static images representing ventilation ducts. Due to the features
described above, graphic components in the folder with prefixes "duct_air", "duct_h" and
"duct_v" must be distributed in the appropriate order in the PX file. Ventilation ducts on the
right-hand side must be positioned higher (in display order - on a higher layer) than the ducts
on the left-hand side.
The picture below shows the effects of incorrect (connection between duct 2 and duct 3)
and correct (connection between duct 3 and duct 1) placement of objects in the PX file,
where component numbers correspond to their order in the "Widget Tree".

iSMA-B-MAC36NL
Version 1.0 www.gc5.pl Page 8 / 24
Figure 3 - Effects of Airflow folder components placement
For ducts "duct_v", at the bottom of the PX file there should be an object that is first in order
in the "Widget Tree".
2.2 Dampers
Figure 4 - sample graphic components from the Dampers folder
The Dampers folder contains dynamic images representing air dampers. Due to the features
described in the section 2, graphic components from the folder with the prefixes
"damper_round" and "damper_square" must be placed in the appropriate order in the PX file.
This principle is the same as for the static images described in the chapter 2.1.
2.2.1 Alarm components
Components with the suffix "alarm" in the name are dedicated to bind Boolean variables
signalling an alarm or failure. Graphics representing the alarm status of the device have been
added to these objects. The component has one control value (Value Binding), which affects
Page 9
iSMA-B-MAC36NL
Version 1.0 www.gc5.pl Page 9 / 24
the Visibility property. The value of the true component of the Boolean type causes the
graphics to be shown, while false causes the graphics to be hidden.
2.2.2 On/Off components
Components with the suffix "off-on" in the name are dedicated to binding Boolean variables
signalling operation or switching on. Graphics representing the status of switch-off and
switch-on of a given device have been added to these objects. The component has two
control values (Value Binding). The first one affects switching between switching off
graphics (false for horizontal, true for vertical) and operation (true for horizontal, false for
vertical) of the device. The second value affects the Visibility property, where false causes
the graphics to be shown, while true causes the graphics to be hidden (same variable as for
the alarm component above).
Dragging a Boolean component from the Nav tree to a PX file and selecting "From Palette" in
the Make Widget window, and then selecting "From Palette" from the palette of the object
with the "off-on" suffix will automatically pinpoint the dragged component to the control
value described as switching between switch-off and switch-on graphics.
2.2.3 0-100% components
Components with the suffix "0-100" in the name are dedicated to binding Numeric type
variables containing analogue control value in the range of 0% - 100%. Graphics have been
added to these objects to represent the percentage of opening or closing a device. The
component has two control values (Value Binding). The first one affects the switching
between the graphics responsible for the level of opening (or closing) depending on the
entered value from 0 to 100. The second value affects the Visibility property, where false
causes the graphics to be shown, while true causes the graphics to be hidden (same variable
as for the alarm component above).
Dragging a Numeric component from the Nav tree to a PX file and selecting "From Palette" in
the Make Widget window, and then selecting "From Palette" from the palette of the object
with the suffix "0-100" will automatically bind the dragged component to the control value
described as switching between the graphics responsible for the opening (or closing) level.
For horizontal graphic components, the value 0 represents a closing and 100 an opening,
while for vertical components, the value 0 represents an opening and 100 a closing.

Components with the suffix "alarm" in the name are dedicated to bind Boolean variables
signalling an alarm or failure. Graphics representing the alarm status of the device have been
added to these objects. The component has one control value (Value Binding), which affects
the Visibility property. The value of the true component of the Boolean type causes the
graphics to be shown, while false causes the graphics to be hidden.
2.3.2 On/Off components
Components with the suffix "off-on" in the name are dedicated to binding Boolean variables
signalling operation or switching on. Graphics representing the status of switch-off and
switch-on of a given device have been added to these objects. The component has two
control values (Value Binding). The first one affects the switching between switching off
graphics (false value) and operation (true value) of the device. The second value affects the
Visibility property, where false causes the graphics to be shown, while true causes the
graphics to be hidden (same variable as for the alarm component above).

2.13.1 Static components
Static components are those placed in the subfolders "pipes_cold", "pipes_hot" and
"pipes_mix". When added to a PX file, they are immediately connected to the graphic file.
2.13.2 Normal / alarm components
Components with the suffix "normal-alarm" in the name are dedicated to bind Boolean
variables indicating normal state or alarm/failure. Graphics representing normal and alarm
status of the device have been added to these objects. The component has one control
value (Value Binding), which causes switching between the graphics of the normal state
(false) and the alarm (true) device.
2.13.3 Alarm components
Components with the suffix "alarm" in the name are dedicated to bind Boolean variables
signalling an alarm or failure. Graphics representing the alarm status of the device have been
added to these objects. The component has one control value (Value Binding), which affects
the Visibility property. The value of the true component of the Boolean type causes the
graphics to be shown, while false causes the graphics to be hidden.
2.13.4 On/Off components
Components with the suffix "off-on" in the name are dedicated to binding Boolean variables
signalling operation or switching on. Graphics representing the status of switch-off and
switch-on of a given device have been added to these objects. The component has two
control values (Value Binding). The first one affects switching between switching off
graphics (false for horizontal, true for vertical) and operation (true for horizontal, false for
vertical) of the device. The second value affects the Visibility property, where false causes
the graphics to be shown, while true causes the graphics to be hidden (same variable as for
the alarm component above).
Components with the suffix "off-on-anim" work in the same way as "off-on", the only
difference is that "off-on" is not animated, while "off-on-anim" is animated in the on state.
Dragging a Boolean component from the Nav tree to a PX file and selecting "From Palette" in
the Make Widget window, and then selecting "From Palette" from the palette of the object
with the "off-on" suffix will automatically pinpoint the dragged component to the control
value described as switching between switch-off and switch-on graphics.

2.13.5 Multi-condition
Components with suffixes "0-2" or "0-4" in the name are dedicated to binding Numeric type
variables containing an integer. Graphics have been added to these objects to represent the
appropriate device condition depending on the input. The component has two control values
(Value Binding). The first one affects the switching between the graphics responsible for the
condition depending on the entered value (0, 1, 2, 3, 4). Entering a value outside the range of
the device will display the same status as if you had entered 0. The value (0-4) of the variable
presents the flow direction of the medium in the graphics, not the valve opening level
(components dedicated for coil installations). The value (0-2) of the variable presents similar
as above in the graphics (components dedicated for pipe installations). The second value
affects the Visibility property, where false causes the graphics to be shown, while true
causes the graphics to be hidden.
Dragging a Numeric component from the Nav tree to a PX file and selecting "From Palette" in
the Make Widget, and then selecting "From Palette" from the palette an object with the suffix
"0-2" or "0-4" will automatically bind the dragged component to the control value described
as switching between graphics responsible for the device condition.
