Replacing The System Program - Omron NSJ CONTROLLERS - 03-2008 Operation Manual

The system program in the Display Section can be replaced or upgraded to a higher version by using a Mem-
ory Card and the DIP switch. There are two methods that can be used to replace the system program.
• Using a recovery/upgrade program
• Transferring system program data
This function replaces or upgrades the system program in the Display Section only. It does not affect the sys-
tem program in the Controller Section.
Note If the system program is not replaced correctly, the NSJ Controller may fail to start. Observe the follow-
ing precautions.
• Always use a recovery/upgrade program when upgrading (or downgrading) the system program.
• To replace the system program in the NSJ Controller, system program version 6.5 or higher must be
used. If an earlier version is used, screens may not be displayed properly. If an earlier version is
installed by mistake, use a recovery/upgrade program to upgrade to version 6.5 or higher.
Using a Recovery/Upgrade Program
Use the following procedure to replace the system program if the system program becomes corrupted and the
Display Section will not start or to upgrade the system program in the Display section.
1. Copy all of the files and folders in the RecoverUpdate_6_5 NSJ-HSH folder inside the CX-Designer instal-
lation folder (default: C:\ProgramFiles\Omron\CX-One\CX-Designer) to a Memory Card. This program can
be selected when installing the CX-Designer.
2. Insert the Memory Card into the Memory Card slot in the Display Section (MC (DISPLAY)) and turn ON the
power supply. The recovery/update program will start automatically.
Note (1) Always use the data in the RecoverUpdate_6_5 NSJ-HSH folder when performing a recovery/up-
date operation (6_5 indicates version 6.5). Do not use a version lower than 6.5.

6.5.
Transferring System Program Data
When System Program Ver. 6.5 is selected and loaded with the CX-Designer, it is stored under the CX-
Designer's install folder (default location is C:\Program Files\Omron\CX-One\CX-Designer) in folders that are
created for each type and version, as follows:
\SystemBackup\NSJ12\V6_5\bank1:Ver. 6.5 for NSJ12
\NSJ10\V6_5\bank1:Ver. 6.5 for NSJ10
\NJS8\V6_5\bank1:Ver. 6.5 for NSJ8
\NSJ5\V6_5\bank1:Ver. 6.5 for NSJ5
To replace a system program, use Windows Explorer or another method to copy each of the folders for the
required system program under \bank1 to the route directory of the Memory Card.
