 6.1 How NB-Series PTs Work

 Monitoring Line Operating Status

The device and operation status of the system can be displayed in real
time. Using graphic charts or other allows display data in easy-to-
understand format.

 Controlling Panel Switches

NB-Series PTs allow the users to create various kinds of switches on
the displayed screen. The values allocated to the switches can be sent
to the host by clicking the switches.

 6.5 Operations of NB-Series PTs
 Transferring Screen Data
The screen data displayed on NB-Series PTs is created by using NB-Designer in the
PC. The screen data is transferred to the NB units through the USB, Ethernet, and the
RS-232C or using USB memory.

 Reading Data from the Host

NB-Series PTs can be connected to the host by using communication methods such as
RS-232C, RS-485, RS-422A, or Ethernet to automatically read the required data from
the host.

15
  Sending Data to the Host
The data entered from the touch panel (ON/OFF button status, numeric data and
character strings) can be sent to the host.

16
 6.6 Communicating with the Host

The Host Link is a kind of optimized and economical communication method for
system, which is applicable to link one PT with one PLC or more. The PC can be
used to transfer programs to the PLC, monitor the data area of PLC and control the
operation of PLC. The NB-series PTs, however, only support 1:1 communication.
Do not connect multiple PLCs with an NB Unit.

In the system using Host Link system, one PT sends Host Link commands to the
PLC and the commands' processing is completed followed by returning the results
of the processing by the PLC (the host).

17 Connection Method: RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 and Ethernet

 Connecting to Host Via Ethernet
1. Connecting PT Directly to the Host

2. Connecting PT to Host with a Hub

 6.7 Communicating with the PLC Manufactured by
Other Companies
Besides the connection with the PLC manufactured by OMRON, NB-
Series PTs can also communicate with the devices manufactured by
SIEMENS, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Schneider Electric, Delta,
Panasonic, Allen-Bradley, GE Fanuc Automation Inc., LG and the PLCs
supporting Modbus protocol.

*1 When using USB to connect NB Unit with the
computer, please refer to 2-3-2 Connecting by USB
in NB Series Setup Manual.
*2 When connecting NB -TW01B and the Host
through the Ethernet, the Host should support the
Ethernet

 6.11 Basic Design Methode

One screen includes various kinds of components such as

switches, lamps, number input and shapes. It is simple to add one
component to the screen, and it is basically divided into 3
procedures
1. Drag the component icon from [Project Library Window]-[Parts] to the
Edit Window.
2. When the Property dialog box of this component appears, set the
various Properties for this component such as PLC Read/Write
Address, Vector Graphics or Bitmap, Label and Position etc.

28
 3. After the various Properties of this component are set, click the [OK]
button. And you can see this component has been placed in the screen
after exiting from this dialog box. If required, you can adjust the size of
the component by changing settings in “Position” in “Display Setting”
29
tab or drag it to the desired position.
