2WindO/I-NV2 Overview
Preparations
Before creating a screen for the OITouchscreen using WindO/I-NV2 software, you will need
the following:
(1) WindO/I-NV2 Software
Part Number: HG9Y-ZSS2W
1
(2) PC
(3)
(4) Operator Interface
If the OI Touchscreen will be configured to communicate with a host (ie. PLC), then you will
also need the following:
*1
To use a PC that does not have a COM
port, use a commercially available
USB-RS232C converter.
Part Number: FC4A-USB
Programming Cable for the
OI Touchscreen
Part Number: HG9Z-XCM1A
or FC2A-KC4C
*2
Example Part Number:
HG2F-SS22VCF
*1: For PC system requirements, refer to page 44 (back cover).
*2: To supply power to the Operator Interface, a 24 V DC power supply is required.

If download cannot be completed, check the following:
- Check the power supply to the Operator Interface.
- Check the cable connection between the Operator Interface and the PC.
- Check the COM port of the PC connected to the Operator Interface.
* If the COM port is being used by another application, then the port is not available for
download.
Host Communication Error
Once a project is downloaded to the Operator Interface, the Operator Interface may display
a Host Communication Err message after approx. 10 seconds.
This error is caused by improper connection
between the Operator Interface and the PLC that
the Operator Interface is to communicate with.
Even if the Host Communication Err message is
displayed, the Operator Interface can execute offline operation checks using the simulation function. (Refer to Simulation Mode on page 36.)
