1-1-1 Overview

The NSA-series Industrial PC is a panel-mountable computer equipped with a Celeron M Processor and featuring a touch panel (input), display (output), and RAS (reliability, availability, serviceability) functions.

1-1-2 Features

■ High-speed CPU and Chipset with Integrated Graphic Core

The NSA-series Industrial PC is equipped with a 600 MHz Celeron M Processor that has a built-in 512-Kbyte L2 cache. It also features a chipset with an integrated graphic core that produces sharp images and vivid, realistic graphics. The NSA-series Industrial PC maintains optimal performance through distributed processing that makes efficient and balanced use of both the graphics and system memory.

■ High-performance Display

The XGA color LCD featured in the NSA-series Industrial PC is a high-contrast, high-resolution TFT display.

■ Thin Profile

Even when the display section is included, an NSA-series Industrial PC (NSA12 models) has a thin profile with a thickness of only 98 mm.

■ Waterproof Construction

The front panel is rated the equivalent of IP65 for waterproofing.

■ Network Functions

Connecting to two networks is quick and easy because each NSA-series Industrial PC comes with two 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet Connector ports as standard features.

■ Memory Cards

The vibration and shock resistance of the NSA-series Industrial PC is greatly improved because it features a ROM storage drive (Memory Card) that uses non-volatile flash memory in place of a conventional hard disk drive. Note: Memory Cards are sold separately.

■ Built-in Expandability

A PCI Board slot has been installed to facilitate system expansion. Two serial ports and four USB ports are also provided as standard features.

■ Touch Panel for Pointing Device Use

The NSA-series Industrial PC uses an analog touch panel to allow highly intricate operations.

1-2

■ RAS Functions

In addition to standard PC RAS functions, the NSA-series Industrial PC is provided with other unique RAS functions as standard equipment for even greater system reliability.

■ Fanless Design

A fanless air-cooled design was devised for the NSA-series Industrial PC to eliminate concerns about cooling fan failure.

■ High Reliability

The diskless, fanless design and unique RAS functions ensure high reliability for

1-1 Overview

1-1-2 Features

systems in which the NSA-series Industrial PC is used.

■ USB Port on Front Panel

Two ports for A-type USB connectors are provided as standard equipment on the front panel. These USB ports can be used even when the NSA-series Industrial PC is installed in a control panel.

■ Windows XP Embedded

Windows XP Embedded is an OS for embedded use. Purchase the Memory Cards specified by OMRON, which have Windows XP Embedded already installed. This OS includes an Enhanced Write Filter for better reliability. Refer to Appendix 2 Using the Enhanced Write Filter for more information.

3: It is not the service life, but rather lamp failure due to hardware problems such as a broken

wire that is detected. Backlight not lit detection means both backlight lamps have burnt out.

4: The service life is a guideline for maximum contrast at an ambient temperature around the

cold cathode of 25 ambient temperature. The service life will be shorter under extreme (high or low) temperature conditions and falls off sharply particularly under low-temperature conditions.

5: The service life is a guideline that is provided strictly for reference. It varies with factors

such as the installation location and operating conditions.

7: When using the two USB ports on t he front panel, be sure to use a connecting c able less

than 3 m in length.

8: The NSA-series Industr ial PC does not include a Memory Card. Order the Memory Cards

specified by OMRON and us e them. (The specified Memory Cards have Windows XP Embedded already installed.) Refer to Appendix 5 Accessories for information on the different types of Memory Cards.

9: The NSA12-TX11B/S and NSA15-TX11B/S have 256 MB of memory. The

NSA12-TX12B/S and NSB15-TX12B/S have 512 MB.

10: The Memory Card cannot be inserted or removed while t he NSA-series Industrial PC is

running. Also, only True IDE Mode is supported.

• CS1PC-PCI01-DRM SYSMAC CS1 Board (hereafter CS1 Board)

(1) The ambient operating temperature is 0 to 25°C when the installation angle is greater than

0° and less than 15° off horizontal (excluding the memory card).

(2) The ambient operating temperature is 0 to 30°C when the installation angle is greater than

15° and less than 45° off horizontal (excluding the memory card).

Overview and Specifications

 Note 1-2: PCI Board Other Than a CLK Board or a CS1 Board Installed

The internal temperature of the PCI Board will rise 10°C. This may place the ambient operating temperature at the high end of the range given in *1-1 above. Therefore, set the ambient operating temperature according to the ambient operating temperature of the PCI Board that is installed. Check prior to actual use to make sure the PCI Board will operate properly at the selected ambient operating temperature.

Example: If an Expansion PCI Board with an ambient operating temperature of 0 to 45°C will be

used with the Unit installed at angle greater than 45° and less than 75° off horizontal, then the ambient operating temperature must be 0 to 35°C because of the 10°C rise in the internal temperature of the PCI Board.
