G500 Substation Gateway,
Accessing Local HMI
1.
Local HMI starts automatically when a monitor is connected to the G500 display port on startup.
If the G500 is configured for Auto Login, then the G500 Home Page is launched with the configured user privileges on
startup.
2.
When prompted, login with the user credentials created in Task 2: Create a New Administrator User.
3.
Click Log In.
Configure Screen Layout:
1.
Screen Layout and resolutions may be configured using Screen Layout utility in the Local HMI.
2.
The utility can be launched from Local HMI start menu using G500 -> System -> Screen Layout as shown below.
3.
The minimum resolution supported in Local HMI is 1280x1024 and the recommended resolution is FHD (1920x1024) or
higher.
Configuring Monitor Layout:
G500 Local HMI supports up to 2 monitors using two of its display ports Display Port 1 (DP1) and Display Port 2(DP2).
When single monitor is connected, the connected monitor becomes the Primary. Display Port DP1 is primary by default when two
monitors are connected, and the desktop is extended to the second monitor.
Refer to G500 Substation Gateway Manual (GE Part Number SWM0101) for more details.
Runtime HMI User Preferences
HMI Runtime (Remote/Local) supports the following features. These features are available from the User tab of G500 the Power
Bar.
Mode of Operation:
•
Docked = all windows open within the parent frame.
•
Single = A single window is opened at a time in the parent frame, new windows replace the previous page.
•
Floating = all windows open as independent windows in the desktop area (no parent frame).
Persistency
Windows Persistency is a default feature in Runtime HMI (Remote/Local) which maintains the following independently for each
user:
•
Persistence of sorting order of the columns, column filters, column width in all the tabular screens or windows.
•
Vertical and horizontal re-sizing of all layout boundaries between screen areas of same screen.
•
Size and position of all windows in floating mode, except location of child pop up dialogs.
Note: Use Reset Persistency option in the Runtime HMI Preferences to clear the persistency state of the windows for the current
or all users, or when changing to a lower screen resolution and your persisted windows exceed the screen space. Refer to G500
Substation Gateway Software Configuration Guide/Manual (GE Part Number SWM0101) for more details.

Quick Start Guide
When finished your work it is suggested to logout from the G500 Local HMI to secure the system.
Logging out terminates the respective user session with the G500 and closes all G500 Local HMI
displays and windows.
The internal G500 alarm buzzer or alarm audio output is active only when the Local HMI runs. Create
a default auto logged on Observer user if the internal alarm buzzer is required to operate in un-
attended mode, and ensure the Local HMI is not shut down.
