shipped from the factory without initialization, messages indicating errors in
the host will not be displayed.
• After the transfer has been completed, be sure to return to RUN Mode by
pressing the Buzzer Key, Up Key, and Down Key simultaneously. If the power
is turned off or if a reset is executed without having first returned to RUN Mode,
the data that has been transmitted will be corrupted. If that occurs, a message
will be displayed on the screen to indicate that the data has been corrupted.
• If a load (e.g., a buzzer or alarm light) is connected to a 10/02 Terminal or a
32/16 Terminal, it will actually operate. This can be potentially dangerous, so
exercise caution.
• The lithium battery can explode if placed into a fire, or it can explode, burn, or
leak if the + and – terminals are short-circuited or if the battery is recharged or
dismantled. Handle the battery with care.

Introduction Section 1-1
1-1 Introduction
This manual describes the installation and operation of NT600M Programmable Terminals (PTs). Programmable Terminals have three main functions:
1) monitoring operating conditions, 2) directing on-site personnel, and 3) inputting data.

(Programmable Controller or FA computer)
1) PTs can monitor, in real time, system and equipment operating conditions,
production quantities, and so on. The PT display can show, for example,
whether the production line is operating normally, and what percentage of the
production target has been met. Bar graphs can be continually updated as
data is received from the host. On-screen characters can be displayed as
plain, reverse video, blinking, or reverse blinking. In addition, lamps, bar
graphs, and figures can all be created. Screen data can be registered at the
PT in advance, and can be displayed simply by transmitting the appropriate
screen number from the host.

2) PTs can inform on-site personnel of current conditions that need to be addressed. Depending on the nature of the situation, built-in or external buzzers
can be sounded to alert personnel to problems that have developed. Depending on factors such as distance from the host, the number of devices

3) PTs can input data for controlling certain operations and communicating
information to the host. Setting switches and a ten-key pad allows a PT to be
used as a control panel. In the example shown below, touch switches used
for inputs to the host are displayed. When this screen is displayed, the onsite operator can control a device by means of touch switches.

The screens used for these operations can be created in advance by using
the “Support Tool” software on a personal computer. The screen data that is
created using the Support Tool can be printed out, saved to a diskette, or
transferred to the PT. An FA Computer, a Programmable Controller, or a
compatible device can be used as the host.

Two-way Communications
with Host
Display Functions
Input Options
The NT600-series PTs provide a choice of three models depending on the
input specifications of your system. You can also choose either of two types
of display devices. Any of six methods can be selected for communicating
with the host, which may be an FA Computer, a Programmable Controller, or
a compatible device.
The PTs have a drip-proof front panel structure when the dust cover is
mounted to protect the display area and the key input area.
Either of two types of display can be selected: an STN liquid crystal display
with a backlight, or a yellow-orange EL (electro-luminescent) display.
Screens at the PT can be changed, messages can be received, and numbers can be displayed from the host. The PT, in turn, can transmit key inputs
and numbers back to the host.
A maximum of 1000 screens can be registered. As many as 64 rectangular
or circular lamps can be created for a single screen, up to a total of 256 and
direct connection can be used without restrictions. Character strings, numerals, bar graphs and simple graphics can also be created and registered.
Depending on the input specifications of the control system, any of three
NT600M types may be selected: the touch panel (DT) type, the non-touchpanel type (DN), and the function key type (DF). DT-type PTs enable the user
to create and use as many as 64 touch switches per screen, up to a total of
256 and direct connection can be used without restrictions. DN-type PTs allow the connection of 12-key Function Key Units, up to a maximum of 32 input points and 16 output points. DF-type PTs enable various inputs by means
of 12 function keys.
Standalone Capability
Screens can be changed on-site, using touch switches, function keys, or external inputs. The screen-changing capability can be allocated to touch
switches or function keys at the time that the screens are created in advance
by the Support Tool.
Online Transfer
Screen data can be written by means of commands from the host when an
RS-232C or RS-422A Host Interface Unit is mounted.
Direct Connection
The direct connection function can be used to directly correlate host data
areas with PT operations. Ordinarily, instructions to the PT and inputs from
the PT are executed in response to commands from the host. Such commands are not required for direct connection, however, and thus the size of
the host program can be greatly reduced. The direct connection can only be
used by DT-type PTs, with the restrictions on Host I/F Units, System ROM,
and Support Tool versions shown in the following table.

2-2 Installation Environment
The NT600M has strong environmental resistance and high reliability, but you
can maximize system reliability and make the most of its functions by observing the following considerations during installation.
2-2-1 Installation Site
Avoid installing the NT600M where any of the following conditions exist.
• Ambient temperatures exceeding a range of 5°C to 40°C for liquid crystal
display PTs or 0°C to 50°C for EL display PTs.
• Abrupt temperature changes and condensation.
20
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
Page 32
Installation Environment Section 2-2
• Relative humidity exceeding a range of 35% to 85%.
• Corrosive or inflammable gasses.
• Strong magnetism.
• Excessive dust, salt, or iron dust.
• Direct vibration or shock.
• Direct sunlight.
• Spray from water, oil, or chemicals (the front panel is basically drip-proof).
2-2-2 Mounting Position
Mounting Location PTs with LCD display have a field of vision of 20° up, 30° down, and 30° right
and left. Install the Terminal at a height and direction that make it easy for the
operator to see.
Ambient Temperature The ambient operating temperature range is 5°C to 40°C for liquid crystal
display PTs and 0°C to 50°C for EL display PTs. Take the following factors
into consideration.
• Leave sufficient ventilation space.
• Do not install directly above machinery that puts out a lot of heat (e.g.,
heaters, transformers, high-capacity resistors).
• If the ambient temperature of a PT with LCD display rises above 40%C or
that of a PT with EL display rises above 50%C, set up a fan or air conditioner.

The initial screen will be displayed if an RS-232C or RS-422A Interface Unit
is mounted.
If there is no screen data registered for the PT, or if there is an error in the
screen data that is registered, then the System Menu will be displayed
instead, with an error message at the bottom. In that case, it will be necessary to initialize the memory and transmit the correct data.
3-2 Initialization
Initialize the memory in the PT using the procedure described below. This
procedure can also be used later to completely delete data from the PT. Data
will be initialized regardless of the setting for the resume function. Always be
careful not to initialize and delete essential data.
3-2-1 Initializing Memory
Perform the initialization if the screen memory is either SRAM or EEPROM.
Check to be sure that the screen memory is installed.
Memory initialization can be used to initialize screen memory, memory tables,
and history data. Initializing screen memory completely deletes the contents
of the screen memory, including the contents of numeral tables and text
string memory tables. Initializing memory tables overwrites numeral tables
and text string memory tables with the initial values set by the Support Tool.
Initializing the display history deletes all of the display history data.

proceed as shown as shown in the following chart.
System Menu
Select “MAINTENANCE MODE.”
Select “Init. Memory.”
Select “Init. Screen.”
Initialize Screen Memory?
Yes
No
Refer to Section 6.
If you select yes, then memory will be initialized and all data used for displays
will be erased. After initialization, operation will begin in RUN Mode.
If you select no, then operation will begin in RUN Mode without initialization.
When entering RUN Mode after initialization, nothing will be displayed on the
screen and the Terminal will wait for a command from the host.
To initialize other data memory, return to the Maintenance Mode and follow
the same procedure.
Caution Screen memory must be initialized before using a new PT. If the PT is used as
!
shipped from the factory without initialization, messages indicating errors in the
host will not be displayed properly.

On-screen Switch Inputs Section 5-1
5-1 On-screen Switch Inputs
DT-type PTs can transmit to the host the input status of touch switches set on
screens. A maximum of 64 switches can be set per screen. DN-type PTs can
transmit to the host the inputs of 12-key Function Key Units. DF-type PTs can
transmit to the host the input status of the function keys located at the bottom
of the display. (The standard number of function keys is 12.)
5-1-1 Transmitting to the Host
There are two ways to transmit the input status of switches to the host.
These two methods, which are determined by a “screen attributes” setting at
the Support Tool, are described briefly below. For more detail, refer to the
Host Interface Unit Operation Manual
tributes, refer to the
NT-series Support Tool Operation Manual
Switch-number Method In order to use the switch-number method, “bit input” screen attribute must
be set to “disabled.” Using this method, when a switch is pressed the number
corresponding to that switch is transmitted to the host as a numeric value in
three digits of BCD. When two switches are pressed, the first one is given
priority in transmission. When using an NT600M-LK201 or NT600M-RT121
Host Interface Unit, send the data to the host by means of the strobe signal
in the PT status information which is output when switches are pressed.
. For instructions on setting screen at-
.
Bit-switch Method In order to use the switch-number method, “bit input” screen attribute must
be set to “enabled.” When this method is used, the status of each switch is
transmitted to the host as a bit status. This is the method used when substituting for ordinary operating switches. You can use it for ordinary bit input
switches from a Programmable Controller.
Note With this method, it is possible to push a number of switches simultaneously.
The following considerations must be taken into account, however, when
configuring the switches.
Example 1: Switches Created at Points C and D, Which are Vertical and Horizontal Points of
Intersection for Points A and B

D
Minimum touch switch frame
If switches A, B, and C are turned ON

5-1-2 Creating Touch Switches (DT-type PTs Only)
Just as with lamps, touch switches are created and registered with the Support Tool. The setting content is as follows:
Setting Parameters Combine your choices of rectangular sections from the among the 128
blocks shown in the diagram below, and designate them as switches. The
smallest possible switch is one block.
Number of Settings A maximum total of 128 switches can be set per screen. If you wish, the en-
tire screen can also be set as one input switch.

Numeric values input while the numeric setting screen is being displayed are
written to the designated numeral table and transmitted to the host.
The standard numeric setting screen is as shown below. This screen is reserved for system use by the Support Tool. Standard screen key arrangements and functions are fixed. In order to change the key arrangement or
add keys (such as a decimal point) for numeric input, set the “numeric setting” item under “screen attributes” to “user.” (When it is set to “system,” the

Creating Numeric Setting
Screens
When creating a numeric setting screen with the Support Tool, take note of
the following points.

1) A numeric setting screen cannot be set as the child screen of a continuous
screen.
2) Ordinary touch switches can be set in numeric input screens, but touch
switch numbers 244 through 255 cannot be used.

3) When “10-key” is set to “user” in the screen attributes, touch switch numbers 231 through 255 cannot be used for purposes other than numeric input.
4) The numeric setting function cannot be used when the screen attribute “bit
input” is enabled for PTs with no touch panel.
1) Inputting Numeric Values with the Standard Screen:
• The numeral shifts from the rightmost digit to the left each time a screen
key is pressed.
• If a decimal point is set, the shift is from the rightmost digit in the decimal
area to the integer side.
2) Inputting Numeric Values with a User-set Screen:
• The numeral shifts from the rightmost digit to the left each time a screen
key is pressed.
• If a decimal point is set, the integer portion is received first, and with each
numeric key input there is a shift from the rightmost digit to the left.
• When the decimal point key is pressed, the decimal portion will then be received. From that point on, with each numeric key input there is a shift from
the rightmost digit in the decimal portion to the left.
Use the 12-key Function Key Unit).
1) Inputting Numeric Values with the Standard Screen:
Use the corresponding function keys. Numeric input is the same as for PTs
with touch panels.
2) Inputting Numeric Values with a User-set Screen:
Use the corresponding function keys. Numeric input is the same as for PTs
with touch panels.

Number of digits displayed: 7
Number of integer digits: 4
Number of decimal digits: 3
Zero suppress: No
Plus/minus mark display: No
The following table shows the inputs and the resulting changes in the display.

Screen Example
Numeric setting 3
Numeric setting 1
Numeric values input with the input keys are stored in the numeral table justified to the right, as shown above. When the CLR Key is pressed for the first
time, the initial display is cleared. If zero suppress were enabled, the number
displayed would be “0.000” instead of “0000.000.” When the “2” is then input,
it is registered at the rightmost integer position, as described on the preceding table. The “2” is then shifted to the left as the “7” is input. After the decimal point is input, numerals are then registered at the rightmost decimal position. (To return to integer input status, press the CLR Key again.) Finally,
pressing the Enter Key causes the numeral table data to be transmitted to
the host.
Pressing the direction keys (i.e., the arrow keys) moves the cursor to other
numeric setting columns. Pressing the Home Key moves the cursor to the
upper left of the screen.
When multiple numeric setting areas are created for a numeric setting
screen, cursor movement will be different depending on whether system keys
or touch switches are used.
Numeric setting 4
Numeric setting n: “n” represents the order
in which numeric setting areas are created
by the Support Tool.

Numeric setting 2
Numeric setting 5
Present cursor position
1) When System Keys are Used:
When system keys are used, the cursor moves from area to area in the order
in which the areas were created by the Support Tool. Thus, in the screen example shown above, the cursor would start at numeric setting 2 and move in
order to numeric settings 3, 4, 5, and back to 1.
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
Page 68
Standalone Function Section 5-3
2) When Touch Switches are Used:
When touch switches are used, the cursor moves from area to area according to the layout of the screen. Thus, in the screen example shown above,
the Down Key would move the cursor from numeric setting 2 to numeric setting 5. After that, the Down Key cannot move the cursor any further.
Pressing the Up Key would then move the cursor back to numeric setting 2,
and then continue to move it upward in order to numeric settings 1 and 3.
The Right Key would then have to be used to move the cursor to numeric
setting 4.
5-3 Standalone Function
When a screen for which the standalone function has been set by the Support
Tool is displayed, the screen can be changed by means of touch switches and
function keys.

Setting History Data (1) When creating screens with the Support Tool, use screen attribute desig-
nations to register history attributes and messages (within 24 characters) for
the screens you want to save in the history.
(2) Whenever the screen number registered for history attributes is designated by the host, the occurrence and message are saved in memory. The
capacity of the history is 1,023 screens in chronological order or 255 occurrences per screen in frequency order. The only things that can be recorded
are screen numbers and messages. History record data is backed up by a
battery, so, as long as the battery is installed, the contents will be retained
even when the power is turned off.
(3) Before beginning to record, initialize the history data by transmitting an
Initialize History command from the host, or by selecting Init. Hist. from the

and start the process from the beginning.
Initializing Display History The display history can be saved either in terms of order of occurrence or
order of frequency. Once the capacity is full, history records beyond that point
will not be saved, so it is necessary to periodically initialize the history.
To initialize the history, first select “Init. History” from the Memory Initialization
Menu. The following message will then be displayed for confirmation.
Initialize History?
Yes
No
If you select Yes, then initialization will be executed and history data will be

Functions
When either “backlight off” or “residual image elimination” is set to either “10 minutes” or “one hour,” the internal timer starts counting as soon as the key input or
command is received. When the time is up, the backlight or EL screen turns off.
The relevant key inputs and commands are as follows:
When any one of the above key inputs or commands is received, the backlight
will be turned back on and the internal timer will start counting again. If a key input or command is then received before the time is up, the timer will be reset and
the count will start over.
Resume Function The resume function retains character string and numeral table data when pow-
er is interrupted or when the reset switch is pressed.
1, 2, 3...
1. When the Resume Function is Set to Off
The contents of character string and numeral tables are cleared when the
power to the PT is turned off or when the reset switch is pressed. After the
power is turned back on, or after the reset, character string and numeral
table data is read from the screen memory and operation begins again. If
new character string or numeral table data is transferred from the Support
Tool, that new data overwrites the data in the memory tables.
2. When the Resume Function is Set to On
If the power to the PT is turned off, or if the reset switch is pressed, the character string or numeral table data prior to the power interruption or reset is
retained. If new character string or numeral table data is transferred from the
Support Tool, the contents of the screen memory are refreshed but the
memory table data does not change. In order to return the contents of the
memory tables to the initial values that were created by the Support Tool,
execute “initialize memory table.”

8-3-3 Precautions When Cleaning the PT Screen
If the NT600M screen gets dirty, it will become hard to read. Be careful of the
following points when cleaning it.
82
• When cleaning, wipe with a dry, soft cloth. If the dirt does not come off, then
moisten the rag with water and rub hard.
• Wiping with a chemical cloth or with volatile solutions such as benzine or
thinner may cause degeneration. A little alcohol may be used if necessary.
• Prolonged contact with rubber, vinyl products, or tape may leave marks.
