IMPORTANT

NTXS Series Products are intended to be operator interfaces, to work with PLCs which

actually take control actions. It is assumed that the user is well acquainted with the PLC

system being used. Never use NTXS units to perform emergency stop applications. It is

advised that separate switches be used outside the PLC forANY emergency stops.

Any mechanical or electrical modification to the units will

void all warranties.

Introduction

1.1 Purpose of this manual

Thank you for purchasing NTXS Series Products from Omron. NTXS Series Products are versatile

operator interfaces with Microsoft Windows based configuration Software. This manual explains the

operation of the NTXS Series and how to implement available features using the NTXS Software. This

manual will help you to install, configure and operate NTXS product.

1.1.1 HMI Basics

Operator Interface Terminals (HMIs) provide much more versatility than traditional mechanical control

panels.An HMI allows a plant floor operator to monitor current conditions of a control system and, if

necessary, to initiate a change in the operation of the system. HMIs connect to programmable logic

controllers (PLCs) typically through the serial communications port. The HMI can be programmed to

monitor and/or change current values stored in the data memory of the PLC.

HMIs can have either text-based or graphics-based displays.Atext-based HMI can display printable

text characters but can not print graphics.

The NTXS Series HMIs are available in both Text display based HMI and graphics display based HMIs.

What is a Project?

A project is a user created application in NTXS Software.A project contains information such as NTXS

model, Network Configuration, Screen information, Task information etc.

What is a Screen?

Ascreen is a visual representation of objects placed on the HMI screen.Any partially sized window is

usually referred to as a popup screen or window. User can create his customized screen according to

his requirements. Popup windows can also appear on the HMI display by pressing buttons on the

touch screen. Maximum number of screens in an application is limited by the application memory size.

A more in depth discussion on screen is covered in chapter 4.

What is an Object?

An object placed on HMI screen can perform actions such as displaying text messages, writing value to

PLC register, or displaying an alarm on HMI screen etc. An object can be classified as Text object and

Graphical object.

For example, a Text Object is used to display text on the HMI. But objects are also used to configure

the HMI to perform some action. For example, a Display Data Object tells the HMI to continuously

monitor a PLC register that is used by the PLC. Some objects can display a graphics shape on the

HMI screen and perform some action. ABit Button Object creates a graphic object on the HMI that

when pressed, activates a bit in the PLC.

Introduction

1.1.2 Hardware Requirements

The following basic PC hardware configuration is needed to configure and operate your NTXS

Software.

DEVICE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT

IBM Compatible PC with 266 MHz Pentium® II or higher Pentium

Pentium Processor compatible CPU

Operating System Windows® 2000 and above

System RAM At least 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM, more

memory generally improves responsiveness

Hard Disk 150 MB Free Memory Space

VGA Monitor Color 800 x 600 with 24 bit True Color

SettingResolution

Serial Port Serial Port for Downloading

Mouse Microsoft® Mouse or compatible pointing device

Keyboard Required

These are the minimum system requirements for running the NTXS application.

Introduction

1.2 NTXS Overview

1.2.1 What is NTXS series HMI?

NTXS Series operator interfaces provide Human-Machine Interface to the Programmable Logic

Controller. The HMIs communicate with PLCs using their serial communications ports.

Configuration of NTXS:

Each NTXS unit has to be configured using the NTXS Software before connecting it to the PLC.

NTXS-IBM

Normal Operation:

After configuration is completed, NTXS should be connected with a PLC to start the system.
