1-1 NS-series PT Functions and Operation
The NS Series offers advanced operator interfaces called Programmable Terminals that can
be used to display required information and provide operating capabilities for FA manufacturing sites. This section describes the role and functions of the NS-series PTs for first-time
users of Programmable Terminals.
1-1-1 PT Functions for FA Manufacturing Sites
@ Line Operating Status Monitor Display
NS-series PTs can be used to display information such as the operating status of the system
and the devices. Graphs and other indicators can be used to better represent the information
and make it easy to understand.
@ Directions for FA Site Operators
The PTs can be used to inform the operators of system and device errors and assist them in
taking appropriate measures.
1-1 NS-series PT Functions and Operation
1-3
@ Control Panel Switches
The NS-series PTs allow the user to create various on-screen switches. By using touch
switch inputs, operating results can be sent to the host.
1-1-2 NS-series PT Operating System
@ Transferring Screen Data
The screen data displayed on NS-series PTs is created using the NS-Designer on a computer and transferred to the PT through RS-232C or Ethernet communications.
Note: Some models do not support Ethernet.
Screen data can also be transferred at high speed using a Memory Card.

@ Displaying Screens
The information displayed on the screens is created using the NS-Designer on a computer
and transferred to the PT. The required screens can be displayed by using commands from
the host or touch switch operations.
@ Reading Data from the Host
A communications method such as NT Link Ethernet or Controller Link is used to connect
the host, and the required data is automatically read from the host.
Note: Some models do not support Ethernet or Controller Link.
@ Sending Data to the Host
Data input using touch switches (button ON/OFF status, numerals, and character strings) is
sent to the host.

1-2 Communications with the Host
NS-series PTs allow the user to allocate words and bits in any PLC area for use in accessing
the required display contents and storing input data.
Operations that can be performed include reading and writing allocated word contents and
bit status directly, changing the display status of functional objects on the PT screen, and
controlling and notifying PT status.
The NS-series PTs also enable communications with more than one PLC. A host name is
registered for each PLC connected, allowing access to any PLC areas by specifying the host
name and address.
When using NS-series PTs, the host can be connected using any of the following methods.
• 1:1 NT Link
• 1:N NT Link (normal or high-speed)
• Ethernet
• Controller Link

1-6
1-2-1 What is an NT Link?
An NT Link is a method for high-speed communications with OMRON PLCs using a special
protocol. The following PLCs can be connected using NT Link communications.
CPM1A, CPM2A, CPM2C, CQM1, CQM1H, C200HS, C200HX/HG/HE (-Z),
CS1G/CS1H-E (V1), CS1G/CS1H-H, CJ1G, CJ1G/CJ1H-H, and CVM1/CV-series (V1 and
higher) PLCs
In addition to 1:1 NT Links, where a single PT is connected to a single PLC, NS-series PTs
also support 1:N NT Links, allowing up to eight PTs to be connected to a single PLC port.
The following PLCs can be connected using 1:N NT Link communications.
CQM1H, C200HX/HG/HE(-Z), CS1G/CS1H-E(V1), CS1G/CS1H-H, and CJ-series PLCs
The NS-series PTs also support high-speed 1:N NT Links for even faster communications.
The following PLCs can be connected using high-speed 1:N NT Link communications.
CS1G/CS1H-E (V1 and higher), CS1G/CS1H-H, and CJ-series PLCs
In the rest of this manual, "NT Link" refers to NT Link communications in general, "1:1 NT
Link" refers to an NT Link in a 1:1 configuration only, and "1:N NT Link" refers to NT Links in
a 1:N configuration only. Where necessary, normal 1:N NT Link and high-speed 1:N NT Link
are used. When "1:N NT Link" is used alone, it refers to both normal and high-speed communications.
1-2-2 Ethernet
The NS-series PTs can communicate with hosts that are connected to the Ethernet and
support FINS message communications, one of OMRON’s standard communications services. Ethernet Units for PLCs that are supported by the NS-series PTs can be used to read
and write data, word, and bit information quickly and simply without requiring protocol recognition. The following PLCs can be connected to the Ethernet.
CS1G/CS1H (V1), CS1G/CS1H-H, CVM1/CV, and CJ-series PLCs
1-2-3 Controller Link
The Controller Link is an FA network that can send and receive large data packets flexibly
and easily among OMRON PLCs and IBM PC/AT or compatible computers. The Controller
Link supports data links that enable data sharing and a message service that enables sending and receiving data when required.
The following PLCs can be connected using Controller Link: CS1G/CS1H-E(V1),
CS1G/CS1G-H, C200HX/HG/HE(-Z), CV500/CV1000/CV2000(V1), CVM1(V2), CQM1H,
CJ1G, and CJ1G/CJ1H-H.

2-1 Connecting the Host
This section provides details on the networks for hosts that can be used with NS-series PTs.
2-1-1 Communications Types and Connection Methods
• Communications Ports and Methods
The PT has two serial ports. The NS12-TS01(B), NS10-TV01(B), and NS7-SV01(B) each
have one Ethernet interface. A Controller Link Interface Unit can also be mounted to enable
Controller Link communications. These communications ports and interfaces can be used for
the communications methods shown in the following table.
Communications ports Supported communications methods
Serial port A
1:1 NT Link
1:N NT Links (See note.)
For connecting the NS-Designer and for Bar Code Reader input.
Serial port B
1:1 NT Link
1:N NT Links (See note.)
For connecting the NS-Designer and for Bar Code Reader input.

Data links
Note: NT Links can be set for either normal or high-speed communications.
The following table shows the possible combinations of communications methods when serial
ports A and B are connected to the host at the same time.
Using serial ports A and B at the same time Supported/not supported.
1:1 NT Link + 1:1 NT Link Supported.
1:1 NT Link + 1:N NT Links Supported.
1:N NT Links + 1:N NT Links Not supported.
• Converting Communications Type Using RS-232C/RS-422A Converter
OMRON’s NS-AL002 RS-232C/RS-422A Converter can be used to convert the communications type between RS-232C and RS-422A.

• The NS-AL002 is connected directly to the serial port of the PT and power is supplied
from pin 6 of the port.
• When there are multiple serial ports and Ethernet Units for a single host, each port can
be used to communicate with separate PTs. This type of communications method,
however, will reduce the communications performance at the host.
