This manual is intended for the following personnel, who must also have
knowledge of electrical systems (an electrical engineer or the equivalent).
• Personnel in charge of installing FA systems.
• Personnel in charge of designing FA systems.
• Personnel in charge of managing FA systems and facilities.
The user must operate the product according to the performance
specifications described in the operation manual.
Before using the product under conditions which are not described in the
manual or applying the product to nuclear control systems, railroad systems,
aviation systems, vehicles, combustion systems, medical equipment,
amusement machines, safety equipment, and other systems, machines, and
equipment that may have a serious influence on lives and property if used
improperly, consult your OMRON representative.
Make sure that the ratings and performance characteristics of the product are
sufficient for the systems, machines, and equipment, and be sure to provide
the systems, machines, and equipment with double safety mechanisms.
This manual provides information for installing and operating the OMRON NQ-
Series HMI (referred to as "HMI"). Be sure to read this manual before
attempting to use the HMI and keep this manual close at hand for reference
during operation.
• The HMI is a general purpose product. It is a system component and is used in con-
junction with other items of industrial equipment such as PLC's. Loop Controllers,
Adjustable Speed Drives, etc.
• A detailed system analysis and job safety analysis should be performed by the sys-
tem designer or system integrator before including the HMI unit in any new or exist-
ing system. Consult your OMRON representative for options availability and for
application specific system integration information if required.
• The product may be used to control an adjustable speed drive connected to high
voltage sources and rotating machinery that is inherently dangerous if not operated
safely. Interlock all energy sources, hazardous locations, and guards in order to
restrict the exposure of personnel to hazards. The adjustable speed drive may start
the motor without warning. Signs on the equipment installation must be posted to
this effect. A familiarity with auto-restart settings is a requirement when controlling
adjustable speed drives. Failure of external or ancillary components may cause
intermittent system operation, i.e., the system may start the motor without warning
or may not stop on command. Improperly designed or improperly installed system
interlocks and permissives may render a motor unable to start or stop on command.
