Number of monitor points: 256 max.
To use the Ladder Monitor it was necessary
to copy the Ladder Monitor software from a
CD-ROM to a Memory Card and to install
the Memory Card in an NS-series PT. In
addition, the PT was reset when starting or
exiting the Ladder Monitor.
Symbol tables set using the CX-Designer
could be managed only by the CX-
Designer, and symbol data was lost when
data was uploaded from an NS-series PT.
All of the log and alarm information in the
PT was initialized when screen data was
downloaded.
Not supported. (This was a function of the
CX-Programmer.)
With the built-in raster fonts in NS-series
PTs, Russian and Greek characters were
full-width and not all characters were avail-
able.
Two-byte characters could not be used for
project file names.
Image quality could not be adjusted when
an NS-CA002 RGB/Video Input Unit was
used.

New version
• Number of monitor points: 1,000 max.
•Batch reading
•Graph overwriting
•Indirect specification of starting display
position
•Indirect specification of displaying/hiding
graph lines
•Indirect specification of displaying/hiding
scale lines
With version-2 NS-series PTs (except for
the NS5-V2 and NSJ5), ladder monitoring
is built into the PT as a standard feature, so
no separate Memory Card is required. (A
Memory Card is required for version-1 PTs,
however, just as before.) In addition, neither
version-1 nor version-2 PTs are reset when
starting or ending the Ladder Monitor when
Ladder Monitor version 2.8 is used. These
improvements make the Ladder Monitor
easier to use and reduce operating time.
When screen data is downloaded from the
CX-Designer, the symbol tables are down-
loaded together with it. Likewise, when
screen data is uploaded, the symbol tables
are uploaded too.
It is now possible to select whether log and
alarm information is to be initialized when
screen data is downloaded.
Trace results from data traces (which is a
CPU Unit function) can now be read by the
PT and displayed in time chart format.
(CSV files cannot be saved.) This makes it
possible, using just the PT without CX-Pro-
grammer, to isolate the causes of errors
that occur on-site.
All Russian and Greek characters are now
available, and all characters are half-width.
Two-byte characters can now be used for
project file names.
It is now possible to select from three pat-
terns for image quality adjustment. When a
visual sensor is connected, even small dis-
play characters can be read. It is now also
possible to adjust the display position for
RGB display.
SAP has been added for the EJ1 Modular
Temperature Controller, G3ZA Multi-chan-
nel Power Controller, and Troubleshooters.
Symbol names and I/O comments of the
communications addresses can be auto-
matically used as functional object labels
and alarm messages.
Projects can be created for NS-Runtime.
The EJ1 Modular Temperature Controller
can now also be set as a host.
