    Safety Precautions !WARNING Do not attempt to take any Unit apart while the power is being supplied. Doing so may result in electric shock. !WARNING Do not touch any of the terminals while the power is being supplied. Doing so may result in electric shock.
  • Page 20 !WARNING Confirm safety before transferring data files stored in the file memory (Mem- ory Card or EM file memory) to the I/O area (CIO) of the Controller Section using a Programming Device. Otherwise, the devices connected to Output Units may malfunction regardless of the operation mode of the Controller Sec- tion.
  • Page 21 If a battery error occurs, the con- tents of the areas that are set to be held may not be accurate even though a memory error will not occur to stop operation. If necessary for the safety of the system, take appropriate measures in the ladder program whenever the Bat- tery Error Flag (A40204) turns ON, such as resetting the data in these areas.
  • Page 22: Operating Environment Precautions

    Always heed these precautions. Failure to abide by the following precautions could lead to serious or possibly fatal injury. • Always connect to a ground of 100 Ω or less when installing the Units. Not connecting to a ground of 100 Ω or less may result in electric shock.
  • Page 23 Be particularly careful in places where the power supply is unstable. • Do not apply a force greater than 100 N on the terminal block when tight- ening the terminals. • Do not perform withstand voltage tests on the NSJ Controller.
  • Page 24 • Remove the label after the completion of wiring to ensure proper heat dis- sipation. Leaving the label attached may result in malfunction. • Do not apply voltages to the Input Units in excess of the rated input volt- age. Excess voltages may result in burning.

  • Page 27 • When mounting a Battery, be sure that the correct model is being used. • The life of the Battery will be shortened if the NSJ Controller is left for a period of time without power supplied and then a Battery is mounted with- out supplying power.
  • Page 28: Conformance To Ec Directives

    • Design the system so that the power supply capacity of the Power Supply Unit is not exceeded. • Do not touch the terminals on the Power Supply Unit immediately after turning OFF the power supply.
  • Page 29: Conformance To Ec Directives

    You must therefore confirm that the overall machine or equipment complies with EC Directives. 4. This is a class A product. In residential areas it may cause radio interfer- ence, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures to reduce interference.

    CJ-series CJ1G-CPU45H CPU Unit with unit version 3.0. DeviceNet master functionality is also built-in as a standard fea- ture. Refer to the CJ Series Operation Manual (Cat. No. W393) for a descrip- tion of the features. Refer to 1-2 Differences between the NSJ Controller and Previous Products for a list of the differences between the Controller Section of a NSJ Controller and a CJ1G-CPU45H CPU Unit with unit version 3.0.
  • Page 34 Section 1-1 Overview Basic NSJ Control An NSJ Controller consists of a Controller Section that is equivalent to a CJ- Configuration series CJ1G-CPU45H CPU Unit with unit version 3.0 and a Display Section that is equivalent to an NS-V2-series PT. The three NSJ Expansion Unit (NSJ Controller Link Unit, NSJ Ethernet Unit, and NSJ I/O Control Unit) are equiva- lent to the CJ-series Units listed in the following table.
  • Page 35: Features

    The CX-One (including CX-Programmer, CX-Integrator, and CX-Designer) through a Single Port connects to either the USB port or one of the RS-232C ports (i.e., ports A and B on the Display Section). All operations, such as programming the Controller Section and transferring screens to the Display Section, can be achieved through a single port.
