Turning switches into Touch Screens brings enhancements, such as minimum wiring, space savings, and improved local operation efficiency. Moreover, OMRON works to minimize the customer's energy expenditure from machine design to troubleshooting.

NS Enters a New Zone

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.

Do you have the following problems when starting the system or when errors occur?

Previous

	When the System is Started		When an Error Occurs during Operation

PT used for operation after startup.

An error occurs, and…

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).

Only	With the Smart Active Parts
with
NS!	The PT can be customized according to the specifications of the device manufacturer to optimize

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.

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.

Note: In addition to the Troubleshooter for the machine above, there is a PLC troubleshooter for CS/CJ-series PLCs. Contact your OMRON representative for information on Troubleshooters.

Import

Convenient!

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.

Multi-language Input (When Windows 2000 or XP is Used)

When Windows 2000 or XP is being used, Simplified Chinese (see note),

Traditional Chinese (see note), Korean, and other language text can be input in CX-Designer. Select the desired language with Global IME to input a different language.

Note: Simplified Chinese: Chinese with partially simplified characters, mostly used in Mainland China.

Traditional Chinese: Chinese with traditional characters, mostly used in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
