Safety Precautions

Caution

• The ROM may be destroyed if it is mounted while power is being supplied to the PT.

• 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.

• 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.

Host

Directing operations, monitoring conditions

Instructions

(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.

Wide Selection of Models

Drip-proof Structure

Clear Display

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.

Nomenclature and Functions Section 1-7

In a C200H PC System, you can ordinarily connect two Expansion I/O Racks to the CPU Rack. The C200H Host Interface Unit itself, however, functions as an Expansion I/O Rack, and therefore when using a C200H Host Interface Unit, you can only connect one other Expansion I/O Rack. (If the CPU Rack is either C200H-CPU02 or C200H-CPU22, it is not possible to connect both an Expansion Rack and a PT.)

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.

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.

• Insulated Transformer

The NT600M has built-in anti-noise features which are sufficient for handling general noise from power lines, but ground noise can be greatly reduced by supplying power through a 1:1 insulated transformer. The secondary side of the insulated transformer should be an isolated neutral system.

• Power Capacity

Use a rated power supply (100 to 240 VAC; 50/60 Hz) of at least 50 VA.

• If power lines are long, then use wires of at least 2 mm

to avoid a drop in

voltage.

• Use twisted-pair cables.

Initialization Section 3-2

3-1 Powering Up

When first starting up the system, do not connect the Host Interface Unit to the host. When power is turned on to the PT, either a “Connecting to host” message or the initial screen set by the Support Tool will be displayed. The “Connecting to host” message will be displayed if a Host Link Interface Unit, a SYSMAC BUS Interface Unit, or a C200H Host Interface Unit is mounted. 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.

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Page 43

Initialization Section 3-2

To initialize the screen memory, for example, first access the System Menu by simultaneously pressing the Buzzer Key, Up Key, and Down Key. Then proceed as shown as shown in the following chart.

System Menu

Select “MAINTENANCE MODE.”

Select “Init. Memory.”

Select “Init. Screen.”

Initialize Screen Memory?

Yes

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.

Version no.

There are three types of error messages, as shown below. If an error message is displayed, first initialize the screen data memory before re-transmitting the data. Operation will not begin again until the error has been corrected.

Error message Error Content and Correction

Screen Data Corrupted This is displayed when registered screen data is corrupted. Initialize the screen data and

then re-register it. Operation will not begin again until the data is restored.

Mark Data Corrupted This is displayed when registered mark data is corrupted. Initialize the screen data and

transfer the screen data files. The mark data is included in the screen data files. Re-register the mark data. Operation will not begin again until the data is restored.

Memory Not Formatted This is displayed when the screen data area is not formatted. Initialize the screen data

memory. All registered screen data, mark data, and system data will be deleted by the initialization, so they will have to be transferred again from the Support Tool. In addition, if an IC socket-type Screen Data Memory Board is being used, recheck the socket’s memory and its settings.

3. Screens with numeric settings cannot be designated as child screens.

4-5 Overlapping Screens

The contents of multiple screens can be laid one on top of another and registered as one screen, when the screens are created on the Support Tool. Just as with ordinary screens, if the number of a screen registered as an overlapping screen is designated from the host, then the overlapping screens corresponding to that number are displayed.

• A maximum of eight screens may be overlapped.

• Screens with touch switches, lamps, graphs, character strings, and numeric

displays can be overlapped. If screens with numeric settings are to be overlapped with screens that have touch switches or lamps, then use touch switch/lamp numbers 0 to 243 (or 0 to 230 when the ten-key is registered to “user”). In addition, do not overlap touch switches/lamps with numeric keys.

• An overlapping screen cannot be set as a child screen of a continuous

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

Minimum touch switch frame

If switches A, B, and C are turned ON simultaneously in this switch configuration, switch D will also turn ON.

If switches A, B, and D are turned ON simultaneously, switch C will also turn 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.

CLR +/–

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.

Inputting Numeric Values (PTs With Touch Panels)

Inputting Numeric Values (PTs Without Touch Panels)

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.

Numeric Input Example

This example shows numeric input with a user-set screen. The display settings made with the Support Tool are as follows:

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.

Input operation Set value

Initial display 1234.567 Input “CLR” 0000.000 Input “2” 0002.000 Input “7” 0027.000 Input “.” 0027.000 Input “2” 0027.002 Input “1” 0027.021 Input “9” 0027.219 Input “↵” 0027.219

Direction Keys and Home Key

Differences in Cursor Movement

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 Maintenance Mode. If the history data capacity is exceeded, newly occurring history data will not be saved.

Operating Conditions for the Backlight Off and Residual Image Elimination 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.”

• Screen data can be transferred along with screen numbers. Set the desired screen number. If you set a screen number which is identical with one already registered in the NT600M, then the screen data for that number will be overwritten.

• In addition to screen data, it is possible to transfer memory tables and marks.

• A data transfer can be aborted by pressing the Buzzer Key, Up Key and Down Key simultaneously. If that is done in the middle of a transmission, that portion of the data which has already been transferred will be stored, but all data beyond that point will be destroyed.

• If a transfer of mark data is interrupted, the data may be corrupted. If that occurs, a message will be displayed to that effect when the System Menu is next opened.

lem in as much detail as possible. Send the Terminal to the OMRON offices closest to you.

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.

• 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.
