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
maintenance were properly performed for the NA Unit. “Personnel in charge” refers to
individuals qualified and responsible for ensuring safety during machine design,
installation, 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
emergency 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.

To conform to UL Type 4X standards, always use the NA5-W (-V1) with a
High-pressure Waterproof Attachment (PWA). If you do not use a PWA, there is a risk of
water entry, which may cause severe equipment damage.

Always pay attention to the inside dimensions when you mount a PWA on the
NA5-W (-V1). If you do not mount the PWA correctly, there is a risk of water
entry, which may cause severe equipment damage.

Observe the following precautions when wiring the NA5-W-V1.

The internal power supply in the NA5-W-V1 is a non-isolated DC power supply. Never
ground the 24 V side. If the 24 V power supply to the NA is grounded positively, a short circuit will
occur as shown below and may result in damage to the device.

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.

To conform to UL Type 1 standards, the mounting panel thickness must be 1.6 to 6.0 mm.

•
To conform to UL Type 4X standards, the thickness must be 1.6 to 4.5 mm.
To conform to UL Type 4X standards, always use the NA5-W (
Waterproof Attachment (PWA). If you do not use a PWA, there is a risk of water entry, which may
cause severe equipment damage. Do not use the NA Unit outdoors. Tighten the Mounting Brackets
evenly to 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, that the front surface is smooth, and
that the panel is strong enough to hold the NA Unit.

• Do not let metal particles enter the NA Unit when preparing the panel.

Multicast Filtering

Multicast filtering transfers multicast packets to the sp

implemented in the Ethernet switch as IGMP snooping or GMRP. “Specific nodes” are the
nodes equipped with an IGMP client that have made transfer requests to the Ethernet
switch. (OMRON built-in EtherNet/IP ports are equipped with an IGMP client.) When the
Ethernet switch does not use multicast filtering, multicast packets are sent to all nodes, just
like broadcast packets, which increases the traffic on the network. Settings must be made
in the Ethernet switch to enable this function. There must be enough multicast filters for the
network.

 Usable Address Range

The usable address range is indicated. The upper limit of the address, the range of the area, and the
attributes vary by model. For details, refer to the manual for the Programmable Multi-Axis Controller.

Area

name

I 0 to 6143 32-bit float
M 0 to 8191 32-bit float
P 0 to 8191 32-bit float
Q [0 to 5].0 to 1023 32-bit float

Description Range Data type Restrictions/Cautions

 Supported Data Types

Because Modbus/TCP is used to connect to a Programmable Multi-Axis Controller, all data is
treated as 32-bit float data.
