NS Series

NS project

You can get multi-language support in Excel. Switching to as many as 16 languages is as
easy as switching labels.

Only with NS!

No special PT tools are required for translation
operations.
Translations can be requested using e-mail
attachments.

Label Switching Function for Up to
16 Languages

Devices can be started with Japanese-language
screens, and then operated with screens in other
languages.
The languages can be switch to the one preferred by
the device operators.

Either a single screen
data file was divided
between Japanese
and English screens,
or else multiple
screen data files
had to be created.

Because multiple labels can be
set, screen data needs to be set
only once. Multi-language
capability is simply a matter of
switching labels.

Multi-language Input (When Windows 2000 or XP is Used)

When Windows 2000 or XP is being used, Simplified
Chinese (see note),
Traditional Chinese (see
note), Korean, and other
language text can be input in
CX-Designer. Select the
desired language with Global
IME to input a different
language.

Simplified Chinese: Chinese with partially simplified characters, mostly used in
Mainland China.
Traditional Chinese: Chinese with traditional characters, mostly used in Hong
Kong and Taiwan.

Note:

Multi-language CSV data

Import

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.

With the Smart Active Parts

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.

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.

Create a screen like this as
a device troubleshooter.

No ladder program

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.

There is no way for
the PT to recover
following an error.
(Creating a screen
is quite
troublesome.)

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).

An error occurs,
and…

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.

Simply paste one of

the Smart Active

Parts! Then make only

a few device node

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

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