Turning switches into Touch Screens brings

provide solutions that will give the highest added value to your system. We strive to solve on-site problems with our solutions instead of just providing touch screen functions. That is what OMRON is focused on.

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-series PTs navigate all areas of machine operation,

from daily operation to error recovery.

Don't you have these problems?

The Smart Active Parts are the solution.

Device operations

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.

NS: Device Navigator

Using all of the device-specific

personal computer tools at startup is okay, but using the personal computer tools for error recovery during operation is overly difficult.

Wouldn't it be simpler to use the PT instead?

With an NS-series PT, just drag and drop Smart Active Parts to customize the interface for your machine.

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

When the System is Started

Data exchange is the main function.

A PT mainly exchanges data with a PLC. Dedicated PC software is required to gain access to other devices.

Only

with

NS!

Minor maintenance can be performed on the PT during operation.

With the Smart Active Parts

The PT can be customized according to the specifications of the device manufacturer to optimize operation as a tool. This enables equipment maintenance by personnel other than engineers.

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.

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.

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.

Error contents and recovery methods are displayed.

Error location and explanations of recovery methods can be further displayed by bit maps.

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).

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.
