• NJ-series CPU Unit Software User’s Manual (Cat No. W501)
Host Connection Function
• Normal communications with the host may not be possible if incorrect settings are made for the host
connection function. Also, if you specify an incorrect host address, you may communicate with the
wrong host.
Make all settings carefully when you transfer the GEM setting data to the Controller.
• The host connection function will not operate if the variables assigned to the host connection function
do not exist in the Controller. Also, the host connection function may not operate normally if the data
types of the variables are not correct.
Confirm that the variables assigned to the host connection function agree with the variables in the
Controller before you transfer the GEM setting data to the controller.
• If you delete a variable used for the host connection function or change a variable name or data type,
make the same change in the variable assigned in the host connection function.
Testing Operation
• If you cannot connect to the host, check the value of the _GEM_HSMSState (HSMS Communications Status) system-defined variable. If the value of _GEM_HSMSState is FALSE, check the EtherNet/IP settings and cable wiring to see if they are correct.
• If you operate the system while connected to the host, use the Host Simulator to sufficiently check
functionality.
Operation
• If there are network problems during operation, the host will be disconnected and message communications will not be performed. Do not replace network devices or disconnect the LAN cable during
operation.
• If an SD Memory Card is not inserted, the GEM Service logs and spool data will not be recorded.
Also, it will not be possible to upload or download the GEM setting data between the SECS/GEM
Configurator and the CPU Unit.
Inset an SD Memory Card to use the host connection function.
• Stop the GEM Services before you replace the SD Memory Card. Do not upload or download the
GEM setting data between the SECS/GEM Configurator and the CPU Unit while you are replacing
the SD Memory Card.
• Before you turn OFF the power supply to the Controller, execute the GEM_Shutdown instruction and
save the GEM Service logs and spool data to the SD Memory Card.
If you do not execute the GEM_Shutdown instruction before you turn OFF the power supply to the
Controller, the GEM Service logs and spool data may be corrupted.
• To prevent loosing data for unexpected power interruptions, we recommend that you implement
countermeasures for power interruptions, such as installing an uninterruptible power supply.
16
Unit Replacement
• The GEM Service logs and spool data in the SD Memory Card are not backed up. If you replace the
CPU Unit, you cannot continue to use the previous GEM Service logs and spool data.
NJ-series SECS/GEM CPU Units User’s Manual (W528)
Precautions for Correct Use
SD Memory Card Replacement
• If you replace the SD Memory Card, any existing GEM Service logs and spool data are deleted. If
necessary, use the Log Viewer to back up the GEM Service logs to a computer.
• Do not replace the SD Memory Card when the value of the _GEM_Spoo
system-defined variable is SPOOL ACTIVE. If you do, the sppl data will be deleted.
• We recommend that you use a new SD Memory Card when you re
replace the SD Memory Card with one that was previously used, format it to delete any old files.

Conformance to EC Directives
Applicable Directives
• EMC Directives
• Low Voltage Directive
Concepts
EMC Directive
OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives also conform to the related EMC standards so that
they can be more easily built into other devices or the overall machine. The actual products have
been checked for conformity to EMC standards.*
Whether the products conform to the standards in the system used by the customer, however, must
be checked by the customer. EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EC
Directives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the equipment or
control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed. The customer must, therefore, perform
the final check to confirm that devices and the overall machine conform to EMC standards.
* Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:
EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility): EN 61131-2
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN 61131-2
(Radiated emission: 10-m regulations).
Low Voltage Directive
Always ensure that devices operating at voltages of 50 to 1,000 VAC and 75 to 1,500 VDC meet the
required safety standards. The applicable directive is EN 61131-2.
Conformance to EC Directives
The NJ-series Controllers comply with EC Directives. To ensure that the machine or device in which
the NJ-series Controller is used complies with EC Directives, the Controller must be installed as follows:
• The NJ-series Controller must be installed within a control panel.
• You must use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power supplies connected to
DC Power Supply Units and I/O Units.
• NJ-series Controllers that comply with EC Directives also conform to the Common Emission Standard (EN 61000-6-4). Radiated emission characteristics (10-m 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.

Conformance to KC Standards
Observe the following precaution if you use NX-series Units in Korea.
Class A Device (Broadcasting Communications Device for Office Use)
This device obtained EMC registration for office use (Class A), and it is intended to be used in places
other than homes.
Sellers and/or users need to take note of this.
Conformance to Shipbuilding Standards
Regulations and Standards
The NJ-series Controllers comply with the following shipbuilding standards. Applicability to the shipbuilding standards is based on certain usage conditions. It may not be possible to use the product in
some locations. Contact your OMRON representative before attempting to use a Controller on a
ship.
Usage Conditions for NK and LR Shipbuilding Standards
• The NJ-series Controller must be installed within a control panel.
• Gaps in the door to the control panel must be completely filled or covered with gaskets or other

SECS/GEM CPU Unit Capabilities
A SECS/GEM CPU Unit is an NJ-series Standard CPU Unit that provides GEM Services. This section describes the capabilities that are provided by the GEM Services.
The SYSMAC NJ-series Controllers are next-generation machine automation controllers that provide
the functionality and high-speed performance that are required for machine control.
They provide the safety, reliability, and maintainability that are required of indust
The NJ-series Controllers provide the functionality of previous OMRON PLCs, and they also provide

Processing Communications between Semiconductor Equipment Control
Processes and a Host
The SECS/GEM CPU Unit provides both the functionality of an NJ-series Standard CPU Unit and
functionality compliant with the SECS/GEM standard to enable processing communications
between semiconductor equipment control processes and a host with just one Controller.

Programming without Worrying about SECS Message Formats
A host connection function handles SECS messages between the host and equipment so you do
not have to handle it directly in the user program. The host connection function is one of the GEM
Services. It is located between the host and user program and transmits commands sent from the
host to the user program and transmits commands from the user program to the host.
Therefore, the user does not need to interpret SECS
messages sent
from the host or prepare SECS
message formats to send to the host.
For example, the following procedure is used to exe
cute a host command using the remote com-
mand GEM capability.
1The host sends Host Command Send (S2,F41).
2The host connection function interprets the SECS message and informs the user program that a
host command was received.
3The user processes the host command.
