From PLC Memory Allocation to Device Access
Previous PTs shared data that was allocated in advance to specific words in the CPU Unit, and they were used to assist with device operations, and to display error locations, and countermeasures.

PTs as a Machine Navigator
NS--seriesi PTs navigatei allll areas off machinei operation,i , fromf dailyily operationi to error recovery..
The PT is traditionally a terminal that exchanges data in
allocated areas with the PLC's CPU Unit. The internal and external control of a PLC with only this type of data exchange is, however, difficult.
A NS-series PT, however, uses communications functions and Smart Active Parts to incorporate
software computer functions to operate as a Device Navigator.

Data exchange is the main function.
Special personal computer tool
A PT mainly exchanges data with a PLC. Dedicated PC software is required to gain access to other devices.
There is no way for the PT to recover following an error. (Creating a screen is quite troublesome.)
Error |
Use a dedicated computer, and you have to wade through functionality that is not being used or that does not need to be reset.
Recovery can only be performed by a specialist (i.e., an engineer).

Create a screen like this as a device troubleshooter.
When an error occurs, rapid recovery is critical. With the NS Series, the following type of screen can be easily prepared to guide on-site workers to carry out the operations required for recovery.
Display explanations of error contents and methods for recovery. (Text file direct specification)
Use diagrams to show error locations and methods for recovery. (Bit map file direct specification) Display only the buttons required for recovery operations.

Error Recovery Screen Example
Text and BMP files can be directly specified, so operations such as correcting contents for recovery and replacing diagrams and photographs can be executed without requiring any special tools. For example, if the recovery operation procedure is changed by system improvements, screens can be changed by simply replacing text and BMP files, allowing for rapid implementation of improvements and countermeasures.
Note: Transfer tools must be used for transfers.

When importing screen data, the text attributes of user-specified labels can be applied to all other imported text. With this function, entire Japanese text attributes (e.g., MS Gothic in blue or other colors) can be used in Chinese labels. Furthermore, by using the just-fit function, long labels in English will fit within the frame limits after automatic font adjustment.
