Solutions:
(a) Components on a single screen communicating with the slave Unit should be as few as
(b) Try to keep the addresses of the components on a single screen communicating with
(c) Try to use HMI's internal addresses for variables in a macro program. If there is a need
(d) Keep a minimum of number of channels of background components such as Trend
(e) Try to keep Warning and Event Information Registration addresses continuous;
(f) Do not use too many PLC control components;
(g) Use a shielded cable for the communication cable. Keep it at least 10 CM away from
(h) Try to use tag fonts when programming. Try to use less vector fonts, and when using

PLC No Response: what is the meaning of XX-XX-X
XX-XX-X means: HMI number - PLC station number - HMI serial port number. For example, 00-
01-01 means the No.0 HMI using the serial port COM1 loses communication connection to the
controller with the station number 1.
The serial port number is defined as: 01/02 represent COM1/COM2.

The causes for a project downloading failure
Downloading through USB fails:
Check whether hardware connections are still functioning well or not, then check through the
following factors
(a) USB driver is not installed successfully.
(b) USB driver has been damaged. Find the driver at NB-Designer/driver and reinstall it;
(c) The USB downloading cable has been damaged, so replace it;
(d) The USB port of the HMI or the PC fails;
(e) Electromagnetic interference is affecting the USB downloading cable. Make sure the
Downloading in the serial mode fails:
(a) [Tool] menu
(b) Whether the serial No. of the PC is correct;
(c) The serial port is occupied or problems arise to the PC serial port;
(d) The fabrication of the communication cable is incorrect or the bonding wire falls off;
(e) The downloading cable is plugged incorrectly, and it should be plugged to the COM1
(f) The serial port of the HMI fails (The serial port does not support hot plug, so take care
Downloading in the network interface mode fails:
(a) [Tools] menu -> [Download Way] -> Whether [Network Interface] is selected.
