OMRON products are electronic devices that are incorporated in machines and manufacturing installations. OMRON PTs conform to the related EMC Directives (see note) so that the devices and machines into which they are built can more easily conform to EMC Directives. The actual products have been through inspections and are completely in accordance with EMC directives.
• Controlling Panel Switches NB-Series PTs allow the users to create various kinds of switches on the displayed screen. The values allocated to the switches can be sent to the host by clicking the switches. 1-1-2...

1 Introduction Reading Data from the Host NB-Series PTs can be connected to the host by using communication methods such as RS-232C, RS-485, RS-422A, or Ethernet to automatically read the required data from the host. RS232, RS485, RS422, or Ethernet...
Communicating with the Host With NB-series PTs, data required for display can be accessed and the words and bits where the entered data will be stored can be allocated to any area in the PLC. The operations include the direct reading and writing of the allocated words and bits, the modification of the display status for the functional objects on the PT screen, and the control and report of the PT status.
The network communications between PT and PLC can be realized through the Ethernet connection. Connecting the PT and the PLC manufactured by OMRON through the Ethernet allows the data read and written. What’s more, connecting the PT with PC via the Ethernet can also perform the project upload/download and the system processing.
1-2-3 Communicating with the PLC Manufactured by Other Companies Besides the connection with the PLC manufactured by OMRON, NB-Series PTs can also communicate with the devices manufactured by SIEMENS, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Schneider Electric, Ltd., Delta, Panasonic, Allen-Bradley, GE Fanuc Automation Inc., LG and the PLCs supporting Modbus protocol.
