Design Best Match NS Series is the most suitable HMI for the system that comprises Omron components. The advantage is the compatibility (reducing programming and screen data creation work), which will reduce the amount of designing work.
Smart Active Parts (SAP Library) Significantly reduces the effort required to create ladder programming and screens. More than 3,000 library parts (Smart Active Parts) are available, which can directly access Omron PLCs and components. The objects can just be pasted from the Smart Active Parts (SAP Library) to the screen; it is completely unnecessary to create screens and ladder programming.
DESIGN EtherNet/IP Support for data structures This special feature is made possible by combining an Omron CJ2 PLC with an NS-series HMI. The data structures that you define on the Programming Tool can be used on the CX-Designer simply by dragging and dropping them. EtherNet/IP CJ2/NJ NS Series CX-Designer Programming Tool Drag & Drop Tag access 1 . Tag names are managed at the PLC with the CX-Programmer. A tag is a name given to an address.
Simultaneous and parallel engineering The host applications can be designed using the tag names of the PLC and HMI. Parallel development will shorten the design time. FROM ase 1 C Previously, the PLC program was first created and then the ladder program was referenced to create the screens. PLC L adder program is created. ase 2 C The screen graphics are created in advance, and then addresses are allocated and checked after the ladder program is completed. HMI screens are created.
DESIGN Direct Connection to temperature controllers Connect Omron temperature controllers directly to the NS-series HMI. Omron Temperature Controllers can be connected directly to the NS-series HMI’s RS-422A. Data does not pass through the PLC, so ladder programming is not required. Also, there are plenty of objects in the SAP Library for temperature controllers, and temperature controller screens can be created easily just by pasting objects from the SAP library to the screens.
Data logger Log large amounts of data using a personal computer. Data can be logged through background processing, with up to 160,000 points stored in one file. The logged data is stored in CSV format, and data can be displayed on data log graphs. CSV format Stored Data Example: 160,000 Points Data can be logged for approximately 7.4 days, assuming data is logged every two seconds for 12 hours a day. By using automatic file saving, data logging can be continued even longer than 7.4 days.
DESIGN Screen data security functions Protect important screen data with a password. If password protection is set in the data transfer security settings when the screen data is designed, a password must be entered to download or upload the screen data, so important screen data can be protected. Security password password between 4 and 64 A characters long can be set. The download/upload will start if the user inputs the password that was set when the screen was designed.
Multi function Execute up to 32 functions with one multifunction object. Multifunction objects combine the functions of multiple objects into one object. Multiple functions can be executed by pressing one button without using troublesome macros. Setup is easy. For example, a setting can be made on-screen using the support software to turn ON a bit to start a machine, set a value and then change the screen.
DESIGN Versatile Graphs Data Log Graph (Trend Graph) Up to 128 data can be collected in the cycle of 500ms. Logging data is stored as a CSV file in the memory card inserted in the NS-series HMI. T he log data files in the memory card appear as shown below when the read file button is pressed. Logging data is stored as a CSV file in the Memory Card mounted in the NS-series HMI. The data stored in the memory card can be read or deleted from the screen.
Good looking screens and objects “Cool” screen templates Professionally designed screen templates are provided.There are seven different types of attractive screen templates for different themes. Simply select the best template from the library. “Cool” objects Aluminium Backgrounds, buttons, labels, message boxes, and other objects are also provided for various themes.
DESIGN Screen Designer for NS Series, CX-Designer User-friendly screen creation Without screen creation and ladder programming, the CX-Designer Screen Design Software is so easy-to-use that anyone can master it. Quickly create the required screen by dragging and dropping objects. Omron’s unified development environment lets you drastically reduce the work required to create screens. All addresses and comments can be managed using a single Symbol Table.
Reading the symbol table The symbol table created in the CX-Programmer during ladder programming can be read into the CX-Designer by dragging and dropping, so it isn’t necessary to manually enter data such as input addresses and I/O comments. Tags (i.e., network symbols) can also be read into the CX-Designer.
DESIGN Reading another project’s screens and objects Resources from another project can be easily reused by just selecting the screen or objects that you want to read and dragging and dropping it, so screens can be created intuitively. Example screen 1 Example screen 2 Select the screen that you want to read, drag it to the destination and drop it. Select the part that you want to read, drag it to the destination and drop it.
Editing of multiple objects Addresses and other settings, such as labels and colours, can be set together in a list, making editing operations much more efficient. When the common attributes (such as background colour and text colour) of multiple parts are being changed, the attributes can be changed together using the property list. Example screen 1 After editing the settings in the list, press the OK Button to make the new settings effective immediately.
Startup/Operation 260,000-colour Video Display NS-CA001 Video Input Unit Four video inputs or CCD cameras can be connected and up to four images can be displayed simultaneously if the image size is 320x240 pixels. The NS-CA001 cannot be used with the NS5 or the NS15. NS-CA002 RGB/Video Input Unit There is an analog RGB input terminal in addition to the two video input terminals. Either of the video signals or the analog RGB signal can be displayed on the NS-series HMI.
FTP function. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows texts, lists and recipes to be replaced with the put/get command from your computer! You can even replace BMP files. WEB interface Monitor and operate the full content of any NS screen on a connected web browser. You can control the full application running on the HMI and even retrieve the log files. Operator access rights and the operating format can be set to one of five password levels.
