Section 1 Overview
NS Series Programming Manual
Using data blocks, users do not need to save data in the PLC beforehand, so that the memory of the
PLC can be saved and the ladder program can be reduced. Data blocks also have the following fea-
tures.
•
Data in CSV format can be edited and managed on a computer.
•
Data can be edited on the PT.
•
Data can be written to a Memory Card.
•
Data from read from a Memory Card.
•
Process values and character strings can be handled.
•
Maximum number of rows: 1,000. Maximum number of columns: 500. Data blocks with both 1,000
rows and 500 columns, however, cannot be set.
Video Displays
Installing a Video Input Unit (NS-CA001) on the NS12, NS10, or NS8 enables displaying images output
from video devices, such as video cameras or Vision Sensors, to be displayed on the PT. Up to four
video devices can be connected to the PT. There are two input methods: NTSC and PAL.
With an NS15,* NS12, NS10, or NS8 PT, an NS-CA002 RGB/Video Input Unit can be mounted to dis-
play receive an external video or RGB signal for display on the NS-series PT.
*: Video inputs cannot be used with the NS15 PT. Only analog RGB inputs can be used.
Consecutive Line Drawing
Polylines can be drawn by using the contents of communications addresses as coordinates of the ver-
tex points. These shapes differ from regular polylines because the shapes can be changed actively.
