Symbols
Prohibition
Indicates a general prohibition
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in minor or moderate injury, or may result in serious injury
or death. Additionally there may be significant property damage.
Caution
Indicates general cautionary, warning, or

Always ensure that the personnel in charge confirm
that installation, inspection, and maintenance were
properly performed for the PT. “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 of the PT, such as the
function switches or switches on the touch panel, 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
PT. Doing so may impair the safety functions.
Do not attempt to take the Unit apart and do not
touch any internal parts while the power is being
supplied. Doing either of these may result in
electrical shock.
11
Precautions for Safe Use
1. When unpacking the Units, check carefully for any external scratches or other damage.
Also, shake the Units gently and check for any abnormal sound.
2. The PT must be installed in a control panel.
3. The mounting panel must be between 1.6 and 4.8 mm thick. Tighten the Mounting
Brackets evenly to a torque of between 0.5 and 0.6 N⋅m to maintain water and dust
resistance. Make sure the panel is not dirty or warped and that it is strong enough to hold
the Units.
4. Do not let metal particles enter the Units when preparing the panel.
5. Do not connect an AC power supply to the DC power input terminals.
6. Use a DC power supply with minimal voltage fluctuation that provides a stable output even
if the power supply input is interrupted for 10 ms. The DC power supply must also have
reinforced or double insulation.
Rated power supply voltage: 24 VDC (Allowable range: 20.4 to 27.6 VDC)
Capacity: 25 W min. (NS5: 15 W min.)
7. Do not perform a dielectric voltage test.
8. Use a twisted-pair cable with a cross-sectional area of at least 2 mm
power terminals and always use M3.5 crimp terminals. Tighten the terminal screws to a
torque of 0.8 N⋅m. Make sure the screws are properly tightened.
9. Ground the Unit correctly to prevent operational errors caused by noise.
10. Do not touch the surface of the circuit board or the components mounted on it with your
bare hands. Discharge any static electricity from your body before handling the board.
11. Confirm that the current capacity of the connected device is 250 mA or less before using
the 5-V power supply from pin 6 of the RS-232C connector. The 5-V output from the PT is
250 mA max. at 5 V ±5%.
12. Turn OFF the power supply before connecting or disconnecting cables.
13. Always tighten the connector screws after connecting communications cables.
14. The maximum tensile load for cables is 30 N. Do not apply loads greater than this.
15. Confirm the safety of the system before turning ON or OFF the power supply or before
pressing the reset button.
16. The whole system may stop depending on how the power supply is turned ON or OFF. Turn
ON or OFF the power supply according to the specified procedure.
17. After changing the settings of the DIP switch, always turn the power supply OFF and ON or
reset the PT.
18. Do not perform the following operations while the Memory Card is being accessed:
• Turning OFF the power supply to the PT
• Pressing the PT’s reset switch
• Removing the Memory Card
19. Do not remove the Memory Card while power is being supplied to it. Always follow the
specified procedure when removing the Memory Card.
20. To ensure system safety, incorporate a program that periodically calls PT operation bits
from the host side to check that the PT is properly operating.

Conformance to EC Directives
This product is EMC compliant.
• Concepts
OMRON products are electronic devices that are incorporated in machines and manufacturing
installations. OMRON PTs conform to the related EMC Directives (see note) so that the
devices and machines into which they are built can more easily conform to EMC directives.
However, customers may use a wide variety of equipment and manufacturing installations.
Therefore the customer must check whether the Directives are satisfied for the actual system.
EMC-related performance will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other
conditions of the equipment or control panel in which the PT is installed. The customer must,
therefore, perform final checks to confirm that the overall machine or device conforms to EMC
standards.
Note: Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:
EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility): EN 61131-2
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN 61131-2
(EN 61131-2 radiated emission: 10-m regulations)
• Conformance to EC Directives
NS-series PTs conform to EC Directives. To ensure that the machine or device in which the
NS-series PT is used complies with EC Directives, the PT must be installed as follows:
• The NS-series PT must be installed in a control panel.
• 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.
• NS-series PTs complying with EC Directives also conform to the Common Emission
Standard (EN 61131-2). 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.
• This is a class A product. It may cause radio interference in residential areas, in which
case the user may be required to take adequate measures to reduce interference.

1-2 Communications with the Host
1-2-1 What is an NT Link?
An NT Link is a method for high-speed communications between an OMRON PLC and an
OMRON Programmable Terminal (PT) using a special protocol. In addition to a 1:1 NT Link,
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.
CS- and CJ-series PLCs can also be connected using high-speed 1:N NT Link communications. For details on the PLCs that support high-speed 1:N NT Link communications, refer to
Appendix 8 Standard Models.
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 Links" refers to NT Links in
a 1:N configuration only. Where necessary, "normal 1:N NT Links" and "high-speed 1:N NT
Links" are used. When "1:N NT Links" is used alone, it refers to both normal and high-speed
communications.
1-2-2 Ethernet
Ethernet Units in PLCs that are supported by the NS-series PTs can be used to read and
write data, word, and bit information simply. The use of FINS (Factory Interface Network Service) message communications, one of OMRON’s standard communications services, enables high-speed communications without the need to be aware of the protocol.
For details on connection methods, refer to Section 5 Connecting
Controller Link. For details on the PLCs that can be connected to the Ethernet, refer to Appendix 8 Standard Models.
to Host via Ethernet or
1-2-3 Controller Link
Controller Link is an FA network that can send and receive large data packets among
OMRON PLCs and FA computers. Controller Link Units for PLCs that are supported by the
NS-series PTs connected to NS-CLK21 Controller Link Interface Units can be used to read
and write data, word, and bit information simply.
The Controller Link supports data links that enable data sharing and a message service that
enables sending and receiving data when required.
For details on connection methods, refer to Section 5 Connecting
Controller Link. For details on the PLCs that can be connected using Controller Link, refer to
Appendix 8 Standard Models.
Note: Controller Link Interface Units are compatible only with the NS12 and NS10.
1-2-4 Host Link
Host Link is a serial communications protocol for connecting an OMRON PT 1:1 to a host (a
PLC) to read and write bits and words from the host. Host Link communications connect a PT
to many different PLCs. Refer to the Host Connection Manual (Host Links) for connection
methods and the PLCs for which Host Links can be used.
1-2-5 Connecting to a Temperature Controller
OMRON Temperature Controllers can be connected with an RS-485 connection.
Attach a CJ1W-CIF11 RS-422A Converter to serial port A or B to convert the communications
protocol to RS-485. For details, refer to the Host Connection Manual (Temp. Control, Mem-
Link).
to Host via Ethernet or
1-6
1-2-6 Memory Link Connections
When the host is a computer instead of a PLC, the Memory Link protocol can be used to
connect with the computer. Use serial port A or B to connect to the host. For details, refer to
the Host Connection Manual (Tem.Control, MemLink).
1-2-7 Communicating with Other Devices
The NS-series PTs can communicate with the following devices.
• OMRON Trajexia Motion Controllers
• Mitsubishi FX-series, A-series, and Q-series PLCs
• Siemens S7-300-series PLCs
• Yaskawa MP-series Machine Controllers
• Yaskawa F7-series Varispeed and VS Mini V7-series Inverters
• Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley) SLC50, MicroLogix, PLC-5, CompactLogix,
CompactLogix, and ControlLogix Controllers
• Devices that support Modbus RTU
For details on connection methods, refer to the Host Connection Manual (Multivendor Connection).
1-2 Communications with the Host
1-2-8 EtherNet/IP
EtherNet/IP is a multi-vendor industrial network protocol that uses Ethernet. The specification is an open standard managed by the ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association), as is
DeviceNet, and it is used for a variety of industrial devices.
NS-series PTs can communicate with CS/CJ-series EtherNet/IP Units and CJ2H CPU Units,
which have a built-in EtherNet/IP port. Also, it is possible to perform tag message communications if an NS-series PT is connected to a CJ2H PLC. The CJ2H has a tag name server in
the CPU Unit, so if a tag name and address table is stored in advance, it is possible to
perform access from the NS-series PT using only the tag name.

Before Connecting
This section provides information on methods for connecting NS-series PTs that must be understood before connecting the host and peripheral devices.
For details on connecting through host link communications, refer to the Host Connection
Manual (Host Link). For details on Temperature Controller connections and Memory Link
communications, refer to the Host Connection Manual (Temp. Control, MemLink). For details
on connecting to other devices, refer to the Host Connection Manual (Multivendor Connection).

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
All NS-series PTs have two serial ports each. The NS12-TS01(B)-V1/-V2, NS10-TV01(B)V1/-V2, NS8-TV@1(B)-V1/-V2, NS5-SQ01(B)-V1, NS5-SQ@1(B)-V2, NS5-TQ@1(B), and
NS5-MQ@1(B)-V2 each have one Ethernet interface.
A Controller Link Interface Unit can also be mounted to the NS12-TS0@(B)-V1 or NS10TV0@(B)-V1 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

Unit (See note 3.)
Note 1: A 1:N NT Link can be set for either normal or high-speed communications.
Note 2: With the NS5, EXP. (Expansion) I/F on the Comm Tab Page in the System Menu settings
can be set to use a communications port in the expansion interface connector. The expansion interface, however, is a future expansion, which cannot yet be used. Always use the serial port B connector. Communications will not be possible on serial port B if the expansion
interface is selected in the System Menu settings.
Note 3: Controller Link Interface Units are compatible only with the NS12 and NS10.
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.

3-1 Installing the PT
The methods used to mount the PT to the control panel and connect the power supply are
described here.
3-1-1 Installation Environment
Always mount the PT to the control panel and perform other installation procedures according
to the following precautions.
Note Do not install the PT in any of the following locations:
• Locations subject to extreme temperature changes.
• Locations subject to temperatures or humidity outside the ranges in the specifications.
• Locations subject to high humidity that may result in condensation.
• Locations that would subject the PT to chemicals.
• Locations that would subject the PT to oil.
• Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases.
• Locations that would subject the PT to direct shock or vibration.
• Locations that would directly expose the PT to wind or rain.
• Locations subject to strong ultraviolet light.
Provide proper shielding measures when installing in the following locations:
• Locations subject to static electricity or other sources of noise.
• Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields.
• Locations near to power supply lines.
• Locations subject to possible exposure to radiation.
3-1 Installing the PT
When unpacking the PT and peripheral devices, check for any external damage. Shake the
Note

3-1 Installing the PT
2. Secure the panel mounting brackets from the back of the panel, as shown in the following
diagram.
Insert the catch on each bracket into the square hole on the PT, and secure the PT to the
panel by tightening the screws with a Phillips screwdriver while gently pulling in the PT.
Note Do not allow metal particles to enter the PT while work is being performed on the panel.
• The allowable thickness of the panel for mounting is between 1.6 and 4.8 mm.
Secure the mounting bracket with a uniform tightening torque of between 0.5 and 0.6 N⋅m
to keep the PT waterproof and dustproof.
The front sheet may become distorted if the tightening torque is more than the specified
limit or not uniform. Always use a panel that is clean, undistorted, and strong enough to
adequately withstand mounting the PT.
Note This product conforms to shipbuilding standards. The shipbuilding standards have conditions
that may make them unusable depending on the location in which the PT is installed. When
using a PT on a ship, be sure to contact your OMRON sales representative.
Shipping Standards (NK, LR, ABS, BV, DNV, KR, GL)
The conditions for use in locations other than the bridge or deck are as follows:
• The NS-series PT must be installed in a control panel.
• The control panel must be equipped with an air conditioner.
• The entire surface of the NS-series PT must be covered with electromagnetic shielding
(specified below) that is also grounded using conductive tape (e.g., copper tape).
• Gaps in the door of the control panel must be completely filled or covered with gaskets or

The history data is normally saved in internal memory that is backed up in the PT, but can
also be saved in CSV file format. When history data is saved as a CSV file, it is stored in
the Memory Card.
The CSV files containing history data are saved in a user-specified folder in the log folder
created in the Memory Card.
2. The following data can be transferred to the Memory Card.
• System programs (the programs required to operate the PT, such as for communica-
tions and fonts)
• Screen data (data used in the PT display)
There are three methods for transferring data, as follows:
• Automatic download (Transfers data from the Memory Card to the PT.)
• Automatic upload (Transfers data from the PT to the Memory Card.)
• Manual transfer (Direction for data transfer is selected manually.)

Reference
Transferring System Program Data
When System Program Ver. 8.0 is selected and loaded with the CX-Designer, it is stored under the CX-Designer’s install folder (default location is C:\Program Files\Omron\CX-One\CXDesigner) in folders that are created for each type and version, as follows:
\SystemBackup\NS12_V1_V2\V8_0\bank1: Ver. 8.0 for NS12
\NS10_V1_V2\V8_0\bank1: Ver. 8.0 for NS10
\NS8_V1_V2\V8_0\bank1: Ver. 8.0 for NS8
\NS5_V1_V2\V8_0\bank1: Ver. 8.0 for NS5
To replace a system program, use Windows Explorer or another method to copy each of the
folders for the required system program under \bank1 to the route directory of the Memory
Card.
For details on methods for transferring data from the Memory Card to the PT, refer to 3-6-3
Transferring Data with Memory Cards.
The system backup folder can be created only if CX-Designer is installed from the standalone CD-ROM. If the CX-Designer is installed from CX-One, reinstall the system program by
following the procedure for using a recovery/update program described above.
For details on the recovery/update program, select Start - Program - OMRON - CX-One

Starting the PT may become impossible if the system program replacement procedure is not
performed correctly. Observe the following precautions.
• When upgrading the system program (or replacing it with a previous version), use the re-
covery/update program at least the first time.
• System program version 6.2 or higher must be used to replace the system program in the
NS5-SQ0@-V2, NS5-TQ0@-V2, or NS5-MQ0@-V2. If an earlier system program version is
used, screens may not be displayed properly. If an earlier version is installed by mistake,
use the recovery/update program and upgrade to system program version 6.2 or higher.
• System program version 8.0 or higher must be used to replace the system program in the
NS5-SQ1@-V2, NS5-TQ1@-V2, or NS5-MQ1@-V2. Earlier versions cannot be used.

3-6 Using Memory Cards
3-6-3 Transferring Data with Memory Cards
Using a Memory Card with the PT allows system programs (programs that are required to
operate the PT, such as those for communications and fonts) and screen data to be transferred to and from the PT.
There are two ways to transfer the data. The data can be transferred using the system menu
or by setting the DIP Switch on the back of the NS-series PT.
When screen data is transferred and modified frequently, it is convenient to transfer the data
from the System Menu. Use the DIP Switch on the back of the PT instead of the screen operation to save screen data when the display screen is damaged. For details on the System
Menu’s Memory Card Transfer operation, refer to 6-8-9 Memory Card Transfers.
This manual focuses on the PT’s rear-panel DIP switch settings. Three data-transfer operations can be set on the DIP switch: automatic download (transfers data from the Memory
Card to the PT), automatic upload (transfers data from the PT to the Memory Card), or manual transfer (user selects whether to download or upload).
Note • Before transferring data, check that the system programs and screen data types match
those in the PT.
• Always reset the PT or turn ON the power again after changing the DIP switch setting.
• Do not perform the following operations while accessing the Memory Card. The data may
be damaged and the Memory Card may need to be formatted.
• Turn OFF the power to the PT.
• Press the PT reset switch.
• Remove the Memory Card.
• Do not remove the Memory Card while power is being supplied to it.
If the PT system is damaged due to the power being turned OFF while a file is being written,
or other reason, using normal downloading to replace the system programs may not be possible. For details on troubleshooting, refer to page 3-25.
DIP Switch
The Memory Card can be divided into up to four areas, which are called banks. The DIP
switch on the rear panel of the PT has six pins. The ON/OFF combination of these pins specifies which transfer method is used.
Pin No. Function
1 Specifies bank 1 when transferring. (ON: Specifies bank 1.)
2 Specifies bank 2 when transferring. (ON: Specifies bank 2.)
3 Specifies bank 3 when transferring. (ON: Specifies bank 3.)
4 Specifies bank 4 when transferring. (ON: Specifies bank 4.)
5 Specifies upload or download. (ON: Upload, OFF: Download)
6 Specifies manual or automatic transfer. (ON: Manual, OFF: Automatic)
Banks are automatically created under the following conditions.
• When data is transferred to the Memory Card using the CX-Designer.
• When data is transferred (uploaded) from the PT.
Reference • When transferring data, only one bank can be specified. Set only one of pins 1 to 4 to
ON.
• The PT will operate normally when the DIP switch is set to a combination other than
one specifying automatic upload, download, or manual transfer.
• When data has already been stored in the banks of the Memory Card and uploading
is executed, the previous data in the specified bank will be deleted. Always check the
data stored in the banks before uploading.
3-22
3-6 Using Memory Cards
• If the \BANK@\DATA and \BANK@\SYSTEM are created manually in the Memory Card,
and used for purposes other than transferring data, when uploading is performed, the
data in the folders will be deleted, and the data in the PT will be copied to the folders.
Therefore, do not use \BANK@\DATA or \BANK@\SYSTEM when creating folders in
the Memory Card.
• Set all pins to OFF when using the PT for normal operations.
Note Use the following technique when changing DIP-switch settings.
