Application Considerations

Suitability of Use
Omron Companies shall not be responsible for conformity with any standards, codes or
regulations which apply to the combination of the Product in the Buyer’s application or use
of the Product. At Buyer’s request, Omron will provide applicable third party certification
documents identifying ratings and limitations of use which apply to the Product. This
information by itself is not sufficient for a complete determination of the suitability of the
Product in combination with the end product, machine, system, or other application or use.
Buyer shall be solely responsible for determining appropriateness of the particular Product
with respect to Buyer’s application, product or system. Buyer shall take application
responsibility in all cases.
NEVER USE THE PRODUCT FOR AN APPLICATION INVOLVING SERIOUS RISK TO
LIFE OR PROPERTY WITHOUT ENSURING THAT THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE HAS
BEEN DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE RISKS, AND THAT THE OMRON PRODUCT(S) IS
PROPERLY RATED AND INSTALLED FOR THE INTENDED USE WITHIN THE OVERALL
EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM.

Programmable Products
Omron Companies shall not be responsible for the user’s programming of a programmable
Product, or any consequence thereof.

Disclaimers

Performance Data
Data presented in Omron Company websites, catalogs and other materials is provided as a
guide for the user in determining suitability and does not constitute a warranty. It may
represent the result of Omron’s test conditions, and the user must correlate it to actual
application requirements. Actual performance is subject to the Omron’s Warranty and
Limitations of Liability.

Change in Specifications
Product specifications and accessories may be changed at any time based on
improvements and other reasons. It is our practice to change part numbers when published
ratings or features are changed, or when significant construction changes are made.
However, some specifications of the Product may be changed without any notice. When in
doubt, special part numbers may be assigned to fix or establish key specifications for your
application. Please consult with your Omron’s representative at any time to confirm actual
specifications of purchased Product.

Errors and Omissions

Information presented by Omron Companies has been checked and is believed to be
accurate; however, no responsibility is assumed for clerical, typographical or proofreading
errors or omissions.

This chapter describes the settings for the NJ that are required before creating pages of the NA
series.

２-１ Creating Projects

２-１-１ Creating a Project

There are two ways to create a project to create pages for the NA series as described
below:

(1) Add NA to the existing NJ project.

(2) Create a new NA project.

In this guide, you will practice (1).

For (2), refer to the reference materials at the end of the guide.

as described below.

1. Double-click [Configurations and

Setup]-[Controller Setup]-[Built-in
EtherNet/IP Port Settings].

2. Confirm that the IP address is

specified as “192.168.250.1”.

13
２-３ Registering Global Variables

３-４-２ Variable Mapping Procedure

1. Double-click [Configurations and

Setup]-[Variable Mapping].

2. The controllers that exist within the

project appear on the table.
When you click the arrowhead to
the left of “NJ_1”, the categories of
the variables defined for the NJ_1
controller appear.

3. Subsequently, when you click the

arrowhead to the left of “User
Variables”, you can confirm the
variables defined as global
variables.

4. Perform variable mapping for all the

user variables.
Select all the variables from “ALM1”
to “Start” and then right-click on the
rows to select “Create Device
Variable”.

5. The NA variables are now created.

The names of the variables are
specified as “Controller name_NJ
variable name”.

20
6. The created variables are
registered as the global variables
for the NA project.
Click [HMI]-[Data]-[Global
Variables] and check if they are
registered as the global variables.

How to specify [Expression]

When you assign a Boolean variable for an object such as Lamp, specify [Expression]
under [Behavior] in [Properties] as below.

Example 1: To execute the function when a Boolean variable (blnSample) is True;

blnSample=True
* If the value is True, you can omit the [=True] part.

Example 2: To execute the function when an Integer variable (intSample) is less than
20;
intSample<20

Example 3: To execute a function when a Boolean variable (blnSample) is True and

also when an Integer variable (intSample) is less than 20;
(blnSample=True) AND (intSample<20)

Example 4: To set the value obtained by adding 100 to an Integer variable

(intSample);
