Safety Precautions Notation Used for Safety Information The following notation is used in this manual to provide precautions required to ensure safe usage of the product. The safety precautions that are provided are extremely important to safety. Always read and heed the information provided in all safety precautions. The following notation is used.
Precautions for Safe Use 1. When unpacking the Units, check carefully for any external scratches or other damage. Also, shake the Units gently and check for any abnormal sound. 2. The PT must be installed in a control panel. 3. The mounting panel must be between 1.6 and 4.8 mm thick. Tighten the Mounting Brackets evenly to a torque of between 0.1 and 0.25 N·m for the NV3W/NV3Q and be- tween 0.2 and 0.3 N·m for the NV3W-V1/NV4W to maintain water and dust resistance.

Section 4-4 Wiring the Power Supply and Serial Communications Wiring the Power Supply and Serial Communications This section describes how to connect the NV-series PT power supply and serial communications. 4-4-1 Power Supply Connections • Power to the PT is supplied from the serial communications/power supply connector that comes with the PT.
Page 88
Section 4-4 Wiring the Power Supply and Serial Communications *1 If the XW2Z-200T-4 Cable is used with the NV3W(-V1), 5 V can be sup- plied from the PLC instead of from an external power supply. In that case, the power consumption or current consumption shown in the above table will be provided from the PLC power supply, so be sure to cal- culate the entire 5-V current consumption at the PLC and to stay within that range.
Section 4-4 Wiring the Power Supply and Serial Communications • A wire may have a faulty connection if the screw is tightened counter- clockwise. Pull the wire out, check the terminal hole, and then connect the wire again. Clockwise Counterclockwise Note (1) When using the PT in environments where strong noise is present, con- nect the following noise filter to the power supply line.

Connecting and Setting an OMRON PLC 6-1-1 Overview When the PT is connected to an OMRON PLC, the following settings must be made. PT Settings The settings at the PT are made in the NV Configuration and the model selec- tion when creating a new project.
Serial Communications Board, or Host Link Unit. Note The SPMA function can be used only with CP-series and CS/CJ- series PLCs. 6-1-3 Cables Required for Connection Use one of the following cables to connect the PT to an OMRON PLC. RS-232C Connections Name Model Specifications...
(2) Multiple NV-series PTs cannot be connected to one PLC using the Host Link protocol. 6-1-4 Wiring Procedure The wiring between the PT and an OMRON PLC and the power supply wiring to the PT are performed together. For details on wiring, refer to SECTION 4 Installing and Wiring the PT.
Modbus (RTU Mode) Or, Modbus slave (RTU Mode) *1 Select this when connecting to an OMRON EJ1 Temperature Controller via Modbus using the NV-series PT as the master. *2 Select this when connecting to a PLC via Modbus using the NV-series PT as the master.
Delay Note When connecting to an OMRON EJ1 Temperature Controller using Modbus- RTU, set a transmission delay of at least 5 ms in the communications parame- ters in the NV Configuration of the PT. Communications may not be performed correctly if a transmission delay of 4 ms or less is set.

Section 6-3 PLC Settings Note The standard setting in the PLC Setup is Host Link, but the default format is “7, 2, E,” which does not match the settings at the PT. It is therefore necessary to change the format setting “7, 1, E” so that it matches the settings at the PT. 4.
Section 6-3 PLC Settings 6-3-2 Connecting to a Serial Communications Board/Unit This section describes the settings for connecting to the following Serial Com- munications Board/Units. Board/Unit name Model Serial Communications Board CS1W-SCB@@-V1 Serial Communications Unit CS1W-SCU@@-V1, CJ1W-SCU@@-V1 Front Panel Switch Settings For a Serial Communications Unit, set the unit number.
Section 6-4 SPMA (Single Port Multiple Access) SPMA (Single Port Multiple Access) 6-4-1 What Is SPMA? When the connections and setup are completed between the computer, PT, and PLC, the PLC can be accessed from the computer (e.g., the CX-Pro- grammer) using serial communications and communicating through the PT.

Section 6-4 SPMA (Single Port Multiple Access) Note (1) The same serial port is used for the CX-Programmer and the NV-Design- er, and only one of these can be online with the PT at the same time. For example, an error message will be displayed if an attempt is made to transfer screens from the NV-Designer while the CX-Programmer is con- nected online.

SECTION 7 Maintenance and Troubleshooting This section describes the maintenance and inspections required for NV-series PTs and provides troubleshooting information for when problems occur with NV-series PTs. Maintenance ..........Inspection and Cleaning .
Maintenance Section 7-1 Maintenance Perform maintenance to keep the NV-series PT in proper working condition. !WARNING Do not disassemble the PT or touch any internal components while power is being supplied. Doing so may result in electric shock. Backing Up Project Data If the PT should have to be sent out for repairs, it may have to be replaced.

Section 7-1 Maintenance 1,2,3... 1. Remove the battery cover. 2. Remove the battery connector from the connector mounting position, and take out the Battery. 3. Connect the connector so that the red line is connected to the positive ter- minal, and place the new Battery in the round frame. Connector position Red (+) Black (−)
Section 7-2 Inspection and Cleaning Inspection and Cleaning Perform periodic cleaning and inspection to keep the PT in proper working condition. Cleaning Screen visibility will be impaired if the display becomes dirty. Clean the display periodically as described below. • For daily cleaning, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Attempting to remove heavy dirt with the cloth may scratch the front panel sheet.
