Display History Record Helps in Analysis of
Machine Faults
When the display history record function is set as a screen
attribute, the time, the screen number, and a comment are
recorded in the terminal's memory every time the relevant
screen is displayed. This display history can be printed by
issuing a print instruction from the host, and is useful for
machine fault analysis.
Long-lived Backlight
Since LEDs are used for the backlight, it is very long-lived
and rarely needs to be changed.
Password Screens for Security
Password screens cannot be accessed unless the correct
password is entered. This means that the operations that
can be performed can be restricted according to the
operator.
Bar Graphs can be Displayed
Bar graph displays allow the progress of processes to be
checked at a glance.
(The bars are oriented horizontally.)
Key Titles can be Marked on the Function
Key Sheet
Key titles can be marked on the function key sheet in
accordance with the applications of the keys: the sheet can
be taken out from the side face of the terminal.
The front panel of the terminal has a water-withstanding
construction.
Example key titles:
Integral Numeric Key Pad
The display, numeric keys, and function keys are all
integrated into the front panel, which is convenient for
designers. The key layout is ergonomically designed for
ease of use.
Printout of Production Status
Data such as the production status and production results
can be printed out, leaving a record on paper which can be
used as a daily report.
(The NT11S has a printer port. One screen only is printed.)
High-speed Host Link
Up to 115,200 bps supported between CS1/CJ1 PLCs.

Small Size, Large Screen
The LCD screen is larger than the OMRON NT20S
(increased from 256 x 128 dots to 260 x 140 dots), but the
external dimensions and panel cut-out size are the same.
Two RS-232C Ports
Two RS-232C ports in the NT21 (compared with one in the
NT20S) enable simultaneous connection of a PLC, Bar
Code Reader, and NT Support Tool (connectable to serial
port A only).
Plenty of Capacity for Saving Graphic Screens
With 512 Kbytes of memory
capacity, there is more than
ample space for storing screen
data.
Versatile Communications
In addition to the Host Link and 1:1 NT Link
communications, the NT21 supports high-speed 1:N NT
Links and Memory Link communications.

Long, Maintenance-Free Life (50,000 h)
The NT21 conforms to the EC Directives, as well as UL,
cULus (Class 1 Div2), and C-Tick.
The front panel has an enclosure rating equivalent to IP65F.
Conforms to International Standards
System and screen data can be stored in
NT21 Flash Memory.

(sold separately) required.
Alarm List/History(*)
Parts tables on the PT
screen can be used to set
multiple word data in
records, which can then
be written to the PLC by a
simple PT touch panel operation. For example, the setting
parameters for separate models can be edited on the PT,
then written to or read from the PLC.
An alarm message can be
displayed in response to
PLC bit status, and the
content and time of the
message can be stored as
an alarm history.
RS-232C
PLC (host)
The NT21 is equipped with many of the same functions as
the SYSMAC PLC Programming Console.
Programming Console Function
Up to 256 math equations can be stored in the PT
processing table to allow automatic PT processing, and
the results can be written to the numeral memory table or
other destinations. This makes it possible to perform
scaling and other mathematical operations automatically
in the PT.

This function makes it

•Parts can be copied by drag &

•The properties of grouped
parts can be edited without
having to ungroup them.
•Because NT20S and NT31
screen data is compatible
with the NT21, existing software assets can be utilized
to greatly reduce the number of design steps.
Note: Some data revisions may be required due to size differences.
•Windows XP supported.
