1-1 Functions and Structure of NB-Series
PTs
The NB-Series Programmable Terminals (PTs) are sophisticated operator interfaces that can indicate
information and perform operations as required at FA production sites. This section provides a brief of
the roles and performances of the NB Series PTs for beginning users.

How NB-Series PTs Work at FA Production Sites

• Monitoring Line Operating Status
The device and operation status of the system can be displayed in real time. Using graphic charts or
other allows display data in easy-to-understand format.
• Instructing FA Staff
PTs can be used to notify system operators if there is a system or device error and to indicate
countermeasures and necessary information.
• 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.

Operations of NB-Series PTs

Transferring Screen Data
The screen data displayed on NB-Series PTs is created by using NB-Designer in the PC. The
screen data is transferred to the NB units through the USB, Ethernet, and the RS-232C or using
USB memory.
Displaying Screens
The data to be displayed on the screens is created by using NB-Designer in PC and the data is
transferred to the PT. The required screen can be displayed by a command from the host or by
operating the touch switches.
