3-3 Installing NA-series PTs

The NA-series PT is installed by embedding it in a control panel. Panel Mounting Brackets and a Phillips screwdriver are
required to mount the NA-series PT. The required number of Panel Mounting Brackets are included with the NA-series PT.

Use the following installation procedure.

1 Open a hole in which to embed the NA-series PT with the following dimensions and insert the

NA-series PT from the front side of the panel.

Additional Information

You can use an NS-USBEXT-1M USB Relay Cable to extend the USB slave connector on the
back panel of the NA-series PT to the front surface of a control panel. If you use the USB Relay
Cable, open a hole with the following dimensions and install the Cable.

2 Attach the panel mounting brackets from the back of the panel as shown in the following figure.

The number of mounting brackets depends on the size of the NA-series PT, as shown in the following
table. Refer to Bracket Mounting Locations for Different NA-series PT Sizes on page 3-8, below.

Catch the brackets in the mounting holes in the NA-series PT, pull forward lightly, and then use
a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws and secure the NA-series PT to the panel, which will
be held between the mounting brackets and the NA-series PT.

Safety Precautions

WARNING

Warnings

Do not attempt to take the NA Unit apart and do not touch the product inside while the
power is being supplied. Otherwise it may result in electric shock.

Always ensure that the personnel in charge confirm that installation, inspection, and
main

tenance were properly performed for the NA Unit. “Personnel in charge” refers to

in

dividuals qualified and responsible for ensuring safety during machine design,

in

stallation, operation, maintenance, and disposal.

Ensure that installation and post-installation checks are performed by personnel in charge
who possess a thorough understanding of the machinery to be installed.

Do not use the input functions such as the touch panel or function keys of the NA Unit, in
applications that involve human life, in applications that may result in serious injury, or for
emerg

ency stop switches.

Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the NA Unit. It may cause NA Unit to lose
its safety function.

Never press two points or more on the touch panel of the NA Unit at a time. Touching two
points or more interrupts normal touch panel operations.

NA-series Programmable Terminal Startup Guide (V120)

Precautions for Safe Use

• When unpacking the NA Unit, check carefully for any external scratches or other damages. Also,
shake the NA Unit gently and check for any abnormal sound.

• The NA Unit must be installed in a control panel.

• The mounting panel must be between 1.6 and 6.0 mm
a torque of between 0.5 and 0.6 N·m to maintain water and dust resistance. If the tightening torque
exceeds the specified value, or the tightening is not even, deformation of the front panel may occur.
What is more, make sure the panel is not dirty or warped and that it is strong enough to hold the NA
Unit.

• Do not let metal particles enter the NA

• Turn OFF the power supply before connecting or disconnecting cables.

• Periodically check the installation conditions in applications
with oil or water.

• Be certain to use the cables with lock mechanism such as serial cable or the Ethernet cable after

• Do not use volatile solvents such as benzene and thinners or chemical cloths.

• Water and oil resistance will be lost if
if the front sheet is torn or is peeling off.

• As the rubber packing will deteriorate, shrink, or harden depending on the operating environment,

iodical inspection is necessary.

“Page” is used to refer to the screen data that is displayed on an HMI. You place objects on pages to
implement the required functions.

Pages and objects have the following three types of attributes.

Animations Animations set motion, such as blinking and movement.
Events and Actions You can set events and the actions to perform when the events occur.

size, and color.

The NA-series Programmable Terminals use event-driven applications in which the actions to perform
when events occur are specified. You can use events and actions to create more flexible applications
than is possible with conventional HMIs.

Applications with High Reusability

After you register a highly versatile subroutine as a global subroutine, you can call the subroutine from
anywhere in the project. This improves reusability and maintainability.

Also the use of Visual Basic allows you to reuse an
Internet to improve development productivity.

A variable is a container to store the I/O data that is exchanged with external devices or temporary data
for internal processing.

In the HMI, all the operations such as exchanging I/O da

Precautions for Correct Use

3-1 Installing the Sysmac Studio

With the NA-series Programmable Terminals, the Sysmac Studio is used as the Support Software to
make settings for the NA Unit and connected devices and to create, debug, and simulate the applica­tions.

Use the following procedure to install the Sysmac Studio on a computer.

1 Insert the Sysmac Studio installation disk into DVD-ROM drive. The setup program is automati-

cally started and the Select Setup Language Dialog Box is displayed.

2 Select the language to install and click the OK Button.

The Sysmac Studio Setup Wizard is displayed.

3 Install the Sysmac Studio according to the instructions provided by the Setup Wizard.
4 When the installation is completed, restart the computer.

• The system requirements for the computer on which to install the Sysmac Studio are given in
the following table.

OS Processor RAM Display

Windows XP SP3
Windows Vista
Windows 7, 32-bit or
64-bit edition

Windows 8, 32-bit or

• If the Sysmac Studio cannot be installed with the above procedure, refer to the Sysmac Stu-
dio Version 1 Operation Manual (W50

If CX-One version 4 or lower is installed on the computer, installation of the Sysmac Studio is
cancelled and installation is not possible. Uninstall the CX-One first and then install the Sysmac

4-8 Debugging the HMI Application

You can verify the operation of an NA-series Programmable Terminal by performing simulations on the
Sysmac Studio. Simulations like this are used for offline debugging. If the actual hardware is not avail­able, operation is verified with offline debugging. Th
cute only the HMI project to verify the operation of th
Simulator to verify operation.

If you verify operation only with the HMI Simulator, you can check the operation of objects, but
there is no way to verify operation according to values in the Controller. To debug the operation
for values in the Controller, you must connect to the Controller Simulator.

ere are two ways to perform offline debugging: Exe-

e HMI independently or connect to the Controller

Use the following procedure to build the project to prepare for online debugging.

1 Select Build HMI from the Project Menu.

Global events allow the user to execute a specific action when a specified condition is met. A global
event can be executed from anywhere within the project. You can monitor the value of a device and, for
example, display a specific page when the value of a device reaches a specified value, or you can
specify the operation to perform when a function key is pressed.
