ensure that the customer’s overall machine and device conform to EC Directives.

1

The PT must be installed in a control panel.

2

You must use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power supply and the DC
power supply must have minimal voltage fluctuations and provide a stable output even if the

power supply input is interrupted for 10 ms.

3

The PTs conform to the standard EN 61131-2, but radiated emission characteristics (10m
regulations) may vary depending on the configuration of the control panel used, other devices

connected to the control panel, wiring, and other conditions. You must therefore confirm that the
overall machine or equipment complies with EC Directives.

Note please adopt 4-wire RS-422A connection, and Host Link does not support 2-wire RS-485 connection.

 Connectable Units at the host side

When using OMRON PLCs, the Units with built-in Host Link function vary depending on models and
series. There is also the CPU Unit connected in a Host Link method through adding the serial
communication board or communication board.

When connecting, confirm the connected PLC’s series, model and the models of the installed circuit
board/Unit.

As to the Units at the host side which can be connected to NB series Unit by RS-232C or RS-422A
through a Host Link, refer to A-5 List of Models in the NB Series Setup Manual.

 Communication setting

The communication settings need to be set as following values before carrying out communications in
the Use Host link.

Items Settings

Data bit 7bit
Stop bit 2bit
Parity check Even
Communication speed Any value, but the values for the NB Unit and the host must be the same.

At the NB Unit side, these settings are made through the PT menu of the NB-Designer. For details, refer
to 3-10-8 COM1/COM2 Setting in the NB-Designer Operation Manual.

For communication settings at the host side, refer to the related PLC manuals as needed.

2-4-2 Connecting more than one PLC

Select the RS-232C method for COM1, and one from RS-232C, RS-422A and RS-485 for COM2
(NB3Q-TWB is not equipped with serial port COM2.).

PT with the model number of NB-TW01B, which supports Ethernet, can connect single PLC or
multiple PLCs simultaneously through the Ethernet (through the router). When connecting with multiple
PLCs, it can connect the Host manufactured by the same manufacture or different manufactures
simultaneously. (Note: At a certain time, only one from RS-232C, RS-422A and RS-485 can be
designated for COM2 to perform communications.)

The example of NB5Q/NB7W/NB10W-TW01B connecting with 3 PLCs simultaneously is as shown

 Connection methods for CPM2C

CPM2C only has a connector with the same shape of the CS-Series’ peripheral port, but the signal
cables inside are classified as used for the RS-232C port built in the CPU Unit and for the peripheral
port. Therefore, when using CPM2C, differentiate between the settings for the RS-232C port built in the
CPU and for the peripheral port based on the conversion cable and port employed to ensure correct
use. Besides, when using a simple communication device (CPM2C-CIF21 type), connect to the RS­232C port. For details, refer to the CPM2C Operation Manual (W356).

Use a self-made connection cable to connect the NB Unit and CPM2C. Connect to CPM2C’s built-in
RS-232C port instead of the peripheral port.

X represents the amount of NB series products, and y represents the amount of PLC. The
relationship between x and y must meet the following conditions:

• x ≥ 1

• y ≥ 1

• x + y ≤ 33

In this system architecture, the system has only one network number. And the unique ID, i.e. Node
ID, is assigned to both NB and PLC in the system.

When the actual amount of configured devices (NB series products + PLC) is greater than 33, the
customer can create a new NB-Designer project to handle this problem.

 Host Settings

The types of hosts that can be connected to NB-series PTs with the Ethernet and the host settings
are as follows. The following settings must be set at the host.

Item Host Settings

Number of nodes 33 (See note 1)
Network number 0 to 127 (See note 2)

For the limitations to the Host parameters’ setting, refer to 2-5-5 Parameter Settings for FINS/UDP at

IP Address Configuration

The IP address is comprised of 32 bits of binary data, consisting of the net ID and host ID. The net
ID is the address that identifies the network, and the host ID is the ID that identifies the host (node).

The IP address is divided into class A, B, and C. Select the address system from among the classes
according to the network configuration.

The number of networks and hosts that can be identified depends on the class used.

Class A Small

Class B Medium

Class C Large

224 - 2 max. (16,777,214 max.)

216 - 2 max. (65,534 max.)

28 - 2 max. (254 max.)

The IP address is a 32-bit value divided into four 8-bit fields. Each octet is expressed as a decimal
and is separated by a period.

Example: 10000010 00111010 00010001 00100000 →130.58.17.32

Additional Information

• Set the same net ID for all nodes in the same network.

• The net ID of the IP address is the value that identifies the Ethernet network (IP network

segment). The net ID is not the same as the network address used for FINS
communications.

• The IP network segment is the logical network unit that is configured by the nodes that have
the same net ID.

IP Address Allocation

The IP addresses are allocated so that they are unique for each node in the network (or between
two or more networks). If two or more nodes are allocated the same IP address, the remote nodes
with the same IP address will also malfunction.

IP (Internet Protocol) is a communications protocol that conforms to international standards.
Therefore, to connect to the Internet, always obtain IP addresses that have been allocated by a
public organization (i.e., the NIC in the country of use, such as the JPNIC in Japan). Using IP
addresses that are not recognized by the NIC (JPNIC) to connect to the Internet could have
unforeseen social consequences, such as causing the networks of another organizations to
malfunction unexpectedly.

Local IP Address

The local IP address indicates the IP address of the Ethernet Unit that is used to set the settings.
The following IP address settings are not possible.

Net ID with all bits set to 0 or 1.
Host ID with all bits set to 0 or 1.
Subnet ID with all bits set to 1.
IP addresses that begin with 127 (7F Hex) (e.g., 127.35.21.16).

Subnet Mask

2-5 FINS/UDP Communication Connection

When more than one node is connected to the network, network operation and management can be
difficult. Therefore, for convenience, configure the system by dividing a single network into multiple
sub-networks. The system operates internally as multiple networks, but externally appears as a
single network.

To operate a system in this way, divide the host ID field of the IP address into a subnet ID field and a
host ID field.

The subnet ID field is identified by the information in the subnet mask. The subnet mask is a bit
mask in which the net ID and subnet ID fields are 1 and the host ID field is 0.

Example: 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 → FFFFFF00
The subnet mask must have a value that is common to all nodes on the same sub-network.
Setting the subnet mask is not required if sub-networks are not used. The system recognizes subnet

masks without a subnet ID field (i.e., subnet masks with net ID and host ID fields only).

The methods for setting each Unit are described next.

identified by their node addresses. Using the node address switches, set a unique node address in
hexadecimal. The same node address cannot be used by any other Ethernet/IP Unit or Ethernet
Unit connected on the same Ethernet network.

As long as it does not duplicate any other address, the node address can be set from 01 to FE (1 to
254 in decimal).

1

×16

Note The node address is factory-set to 01. With the default setting, the values set on these switches become the

last two digits of the built-in Ethernet/IP port’s IP address.

The default IP address is 192.168.250.node_address. With the factory-set node address of 01, the
default IP address is 192.168.250.1.

The Node ID of the dip switch here must be consistent with that of PLC in the “Network Device
Setting” dialog box for the actual project created in the NB-Designer.

2 Installing the NB Unit and Connecting Peripheral Devices

2-5-5 Parameter Settings for FINS/UDP at Host Side

Because the port number of NB is dynamic, the user doesn’t need to set it during the communications
through the FINS/UDP protocol. But user needs to set the UDP parameters at the Host side of OMRON
PLC in the CX-Programmer referring to the following limitations.

Take the settings of CJ1W-ETN21 as example:

The limitations are as follows:

1. Do not check the “Auto (Static)” option in the [Conversion] check box.

2. Do not check the “Destination IP is Not changed dyn:” in the [FINS/UDP Option] check box.

3. Only the “Destination IP is changed dynamic:” can be checked in the [FINS/UDP Option] check box
after either of “Auto (dynamic)”, “Combined” and “IP address table” is checked in the [Conversion]
check box. When insert the IP address into the [IP Address Table] after the “IP address table” or
“Combined” is checked, do not make the Node ID of NB into it. *1

*1 If the Node ID of NB is placed into the [IP Address Table], the system will require the NB to use the

same port with the PLC, and “PLC response error” information will appear on NB.

The prompts for possible errors occurred to NB when FINS/UDP protocol is adopted are described as
follows:

“PLC Response Error”: Response to the abnormal information caused by the Read/Write command to
PLC.

“PLC No Response: xx-xx-x”: No response is made by PLC and xx-xx-x represents HMI No.-Node ID
of PLC-Port Number.
